We have decided to go with wren for our kitchen and utility design. They have a beautiful milano elements range with cupboard doors that are exactly what we are looking for…

Left to right Copper, Slate and Bronze all matt
Yes we are going to use all three..as we are having an island as well, so copper for the island, bronze for the kitchen and slate for the utility
Still undecided on the positioning of the island but these are some 3D starters…


We will be making our own worktops with poured concrete and the floor will be microcement rather than tiles. If you are thing of going with something similar wren did advise that the three cupboards above the sink on the wall could be done flush with the double height units to give a more bespoke feel
The glass doors to one side will also be one floor to ceiling black framed window. Unfortunately we couldn’t go to this level of detail with wren
Andy likes the idea of the island dipping into the central part of the room but I think we will need to have a play around once we have a better idea of the space, these 3Ds can be somewhat deceiving!

We did originally have an L shaped kitchen design however we’ve decided to go for more glass and champion the island a little more!

Original inspo from wren…I do like the wood idea on the island as well
Watch this space…there will no doubt be more changes!
