KITCHENS
Karl adds : “ We knew we wanted to maximise our new space but were keen to maintain an inviting ambience that didn ’ t feel too exposed or vacant – so adding an island offered the perfect solution . I love to cook and this renovation offered the perfect opportunity to be indulgent . Therefore , the cooking appliances from NEFF and additional work surface provided by the island have created a feeling of luxury – which is perfect when we have people over as we can show off the new space !”
For further information about Benchmarx and to download a brochure , visit www . benchmarxkitchens . co . uk which provide a nod to our industrial inspiration , while also offering an opportunity to introduce warmer pops of colour that contrast perfectly with the deep blue colour of the cupboards . We wanted to build on the pop of colour these created , so opted for brass-finish bar stools that feature around our kitchen island . We also were mindful to create a versatile colour scheme that is both warm and inviting in the evening but remains a cool and refreshing environment during the day ”.
With so much additional space available and a perfect square shape created , the couple were keen to add an island to their renovation . Growing in demand with homeowners , the couple decided on a floating island in the centre of the room which would not only provide a focal point , but also additional worktop space for when family and friends visit .
