Designed as the centrepiece of a self-build family home, this kitchen was created to deliver both lasting quality and real visual impact. The brief called for a space that would feel distinctive yet timeless, something that would stand out while remaining practical for everyday life.

We achieved this through the use of the Nicholas Bell Stroma Ash painted door, hand-finished in Benjamin Moore Tarrytown Green. This rich, confident tone brings depth and character, while details such as the moulded plinth, Hendle & Hendle Hampton cup handles, and Lancaster Oak carcases with dovetail drawers reinforce the craftsmanship and quality throughout.

At the heart of the design is a striking island, finished in 30mm Planet Neptune quartz, elevated with a 50mm ogee edge detail to create a more substantial, furniture-like presence. This feature not only enhances the sense of luxury but also anchors the space visually. Integrated within the island is bespoke corner banquette seating, carefully positioned to allow the family to gather comfortably while enjoying views out to the garden — an important part of the original brief.

Performance matches the aesthetics, with Neff N90 Flex Design appliances seamlessly incorporated to provide cutting-edge functionality without disrupting the clean lines of the design.

The result is a kitchen that feels both bold and considered, a standout space that reflects the ambition of the home, while offering warmth, comfort and durability for years to come.

When we started initially looking for a kitchen the bell showroom had the perfect kitchen we were looking for. Aimee asked us if we needed any help and we both instantly liked her she was very friendly and helpful and we knew that she was the one we wanted to design our kitchen.

Seeing the initial designs to the finished product they exceeded our expectations we couldn’t be happier with both the kitchen and bathroom. We were a bit worried about the colour choice of the kitchen as it took us a while to decide on the right one, but it is perfect. Mark the installation manager was helpful and kept us up to date and informed throughout the installation process.

As we were building our forever home, we wanted the kitchen to be the statement of the house and have that wow factor it certainly does. The cupboards and appliances are great quality and the quartz worktop looks stunning. We love the bench seating; we can sit and look out at our lovely view outside.

Everyone comments on how lovely it is!
