With this in mind , Brandt Design specified a bespoke kitchen and bar arrangement in Urban Grey Wild Oak Furniture with custom satin brass design elements and white veined Neolith Estatuario marble surfaces . The combination of light wood met with quality raw materials completely sets the tone in this sophisticated kitchen extension , as well as reflect the unique nature of this modern family home .

And a pair of brushed gold kitchen taps add to its practical luxury , offering a standard mixer tap alongside an all-in-one model with an amazing five water options : filtered boiling , chilled and sparkling water , alongside unfiltered hot and cold .
To further support the owner ’ s love of home entertaining , Brandt Design introduced a bespoke bar area just outside of the main kitchen , featuring a custom gold wine rack and integrated wine cabinet . Able to store either red , white or sparkling wine at the optimum temperature , this model of wine cabinet can also convert into a can chiller so as required , they can offer guests a cold beer , cider or soft drink too . The sideboard is designed in the same grey oak furniture with satin brass decorative trims and chunky marble worktop , and the custom wine rack epitomises high glamour finished in rich gold with mirrored glass display shelving .
The elegant combination of stone and wood when mixed with warm-toned metallic accents ensure this designer kitchen and living space is both visually appealing and inviting .

To complete the look , Brandt Design enhance the space with refined elements such as white veined marble-effect surfaces , warm white upholstery and hardwearing , neutral porcelain flooring .
