A selection of kitchens - some of which I love in their entirety, some of which I love aspects of - hope you find a few you like too! 

This kitchen (above) is pretty much perfection in my eyes - the mix of grey and white units, with some stainless steal detail. Modern and rustic mixed together so seamlessly - I love it. 

I love the symmetry of this kitchen (above), the perfectly balanced units, the run of drawers on the bottom, the space left above the top, and the balance of wood and white. So easy to recreate using Ikea units etc, but still quite individual. 

Leaving a planting space underneath a feature wall is a simple but amazing addition to a space - perfect for a kitchen or a bathroom, get some advice from your tiler and your builder though..

I love the idea of a lack of top units - they tend to make the space look quite cluttered in my opinion. This kitchen is so perfectly balanced and underwhelming - in a perfectly subtle way!

Running a low level of units similar or the same as your kitchen units in the dining part of an open plan space can act as a fantastic alternative to a sideboard while tying the two spaces together. 

The combination of the kitchen units on the left, complete with amazing grey and white retro tiles, and the dining chairs on the right - one of my dream kitchen/diners.

Stainless steal island unit - looks amazing- probably a nightmare to keep clean!

The flooring in the two photos above pleases me! Such a simple, subdued way to add character to the space, these tiles are both retro and rustic. Perfect. 

 Thinking outside the box (above), an unusual creation that really is almost a work of art. A functional unit that allows the space to still feel open and light. 

That’s it for now…sitting rooms next week!
