Contemporary New Town Kitchen
The kitchen and round dining table.

The brief

The kitchen and dining area felt cramped, with restricted movement around the island and table. Storage was limited, and the corners were not being used well. The brief was to make the compact room easier to use without filling it with more furniture.

The layout

Contemporary New Town Kitchen layout
Layout plan.

Repositioning the main elements opens up the working area. A compact storage unit uses a previously empty corner, and a round table softens the geometry of the dining area while improving the route around it.

Developing the design

Keeping the finishes consistent

Timber, stone and black accents run through the kitchen and dining area. The restrained palette connects the different parts of the room without adding visual clutter.
