This project was all about creating a kitchen that combined functionality with a social, family-friendly layout. The client wanted to improve flow, increase storage, and remove the old peninsula, replacing it with a striking stand-alone island that would become the heart of the space.

We designed the kitchen in Artline Top Soft Graphite with Natural Vintage Oak accents, balancing contemporary sophistication with warmth. The island features a Neff hob, integrated with seating to make cooking a more social experience – perfect for family life and entertaining.

The daughter, currently studying food and baking at college, needed a practical yet inspiring space to experiment. With that in mind, the generous island doubles as a prep and showcase area, while high-performance Neff cooking appliances and a Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer provide all the reliability and capacity a keen cook could need.

For a clean, modern finish, we specified a 20mm AG Blanco Carrara worktop paired with a Franke 1.5 Box undermount sink. The addition of a Quooker Fusion Square stainless steel hot tap ensures both convenience and efficiency in daily use.

The result is a highly functional kitchen with improved flow and storage, a beautiful design aesthetic, and a central hub that encourages creativity, family connection, and sociable cooking.

"Our journey with Bell Kitchens has been nothing short of outstanding. From the initial design consultations to the final installation, every stage was handled with professionalism and care.

Claire was fantastic during the design phase, taking time to understand our needs and incorporate our ideas seamlessly into the plan. The installation process itself ran like clockwork—with delivery and setup
completed ahead of schedule, thanks to Mark's attentive planning and clear communication.

The biggest thanks goes to the installation team, especially Lee, whose craftsmanship and keen eye for detail resulted in a flawless finish. His dedication truly brought the design to life.

We couldn’t be happier with the results—Bell delivered a kitchen that not only meets but exceeds our expectations."
