Shelves are a given in a larder, but when they’re on zigzag brackets, it means there are dozens of teeth (one
every 45mm in our case), so you have the maximum amount of flexibility. Plus, oak zigzags are an age-old
system so they’re a nice nod to tradition.
The best larders are those that go back and back – so much so it feels like you can almost climb on in. Make
the most of that depth by looking out for freestanding ledges (like our Barlow bridge in Black-Bronze) that
change up the height inside so that you can easily see everything on each level.
Whilst Neptune is physically closed, the team are on hand to offer a host of virtual design services, discuss

Roma Interiors:
The kitchen is the heart of the home and this is
becoming more and more clear as time goes on. We
now want a cooking and sociable area in our homes,
where we can not only cook for ourselves, but also
our families; where we can entertain our friends and
teach our children to cook and bake. Therefore the
key is for your kitchen space to be versatile and
spacious. More than ever, people are moving towards
individuality within their kitchens and looking for
unique, intuitive and personalised designs, and for
design companies who are willing to undertake the
complete project with an emphasis on quality
products and old fashion good service.
Contemporary and Classic Style:
The Shaker kitchen is still one of the most popular
and versatile kitchen designs around. If opting for
a Shaker style the key is to go totally bespoke when
it comes to framing, sizing, colour and handles.
Those seeking a more contemporary style should
look at the use of true handleless doors and drawers
that utlise the J-Pull system allowing for easy access
and sleek lines. The growing trend this year is the
industrial look; think lots of natural wood, exposed
brick, metal, and statement lighting.
Cool Colours:
The classic cool greys and blue tones are here to
stay for a while longer yet, however deeper tones
such as navy blue, particularly teamed with brass
accessories, is the hot choice right now.
As we embrace nature and the earth, neutral colours
are once again at the forefront of kitchen palettes,
with colours such as cashmere and stone grey proving
popular, especially with a nice complementary colour
such as Halifax Oak or Tobacco Oak.
Framed kitchens are taking a modernising leap this
year with bold colors such as rich blues and greens.
Whilst modern greys and clinical whites are still the
top pick for handleless kitchens, with wrap around
glass splashbacks in bold colours replacing tiles.
Stay Grounded:
Flooring is a massive part of your kitchen design.
Not only does it need to be practical, durable and
easy to clean, it should also complement your overall
style and aesthetic. Herringbone, whether tiled, wood
or laminate, is making a triumphant return; whilst
glossy large white or concrete tiles offer a luxurious
look as well as being utterly practical.
Wonderful Worktops:
The not so little touches:
Never underestimate the importance of your worktop
in your overall kitchen design. Quartz is the best
way to go as it is little to no maintenance. However,
corian offers an affordable alternative, especially in
busy family kitchens. Just like quartz, corian comes
in a lot of colours but with the added bonus of being
low maintenance as well as offering repairability.
For those looking for a true industrial finish, it has
to be the concrete worktop. Whether polished or
natural, concrete offers a finish unlike any other.
Kitchen accessories and decor really are the necessary
finishing touches to your overall scheme. Think brass
and copper for a decadent shine; Metro tiles all the
way to the ceiling to elongate your space, glass
splashbacks in bold colours, and pendant lights to
match your handle colours. And don't forget your
taps! Taps come in all styles and colours now, so
you can coordinate or contrast your sink and your
tap to your handles and other accessories.
When you just need to vent:
Vented Hobs are huge right now, they work perfectly
on an island without having to have the huge
distraction of an extractor stuck to your ceiling, or
rising out of the back of the hob, stealing more space
from your island and detracting from your overall
kitchen aesthetic.
The team at family-run Roma Interiors look forward
to helping you with your dream kitchen soon.
