They're both clever ways of making sure your kitchen integrates perfectly into your busy city life. Pick Your Style Perfect Planning Wren's kitchen designers can help you in the all-important early stages, beginning with the layout which is critical to get right. Design concepts like the 'kitchen triangle' (thinking about the most used part of your kitchen and how you’ll move between them) are important in any kitchen, but particularly in an apartment where space is at a premium. Wren's kitchen designers will help you to decide the layout that best fits your space, and then make sure that the kitchen works with the life you lead.

The sleek ultra-modern look is the perfect fit for many city apartments. Wren’s beautiful Infinity Plus Milano Ultra kitchen is a stunning example of what can be achieved with this approach. This kitchen is all about smooth lines, with no unnecessary handles to distract the eye. Add an extra dimension with accents of copper from the profiles, minimalist lights and a bold splashback.

The J-Pull Gloss is a perfect example of how you can create light, bright and contemporary space that contrasts perfectly with the exposed brickwork for that industrial feel. A warm metallic splashback brings out the warmth of the bricks, and the handleless units give it a clean, modern look.

It's simple and unfussy, but you can tweak the look to fit your tastes by mixing things up with the finish, handles and accessories you choose.
