We completed this kitchen makeover in Lobley Hill for Gemma who was tired of the dated feel of her cream kitchen.
The brief was to create a modern looking kitchen in neutral tones complete with a dishwasher.
Our designer specified the Richmond style door in matt dust grey with a contrasting Paros marble white worktop.
The shaker design of the Richmond door creates a timeless look and the elegant Windsor knob handles in chrome complement the fitted appliances.
One of the things Gemma really disliked about her old kitchen was the cream metro tiles. Our team removed the tiles and skimmed the walls before fitting the white glass splashback with matching Paros Marble upstands.

Brilliant from start to finish
I cant fault the experience. The fitters were brilliant, there's nothing I would change.

Why a Makeover ?
The units were in a good condition and Gemma wanted to avoid the expense and hassle of a complete new install.
Design Features and challenges
To include the slimline dishwasher we removed an existing cupboard next to the sink and extended the plumbing and electrics.
The old kitchen had the gas boiler on display which the customer was keen to avoid in her new kitchen. We created a bespoke panel in the same colour grey to box the pipes and installed an additional matching wall unit to house the boiler itself. The cupboard opens to provide every day access to the boiler and the panel can be removed quickly should it be necessary.
Extras
To save Gemma having to find and organise other tradesman our joiners completed some additional finishing work. They fitted new laminate flooring and wood wall panelling which was supplied by the customer.
