FROM SINGLE DRESSERS TO A FULLY UNFITTED BESPOKE DESIGN, FLEXIBLE STAND-ALONE UNITS ARE THE LATEST STORY IN KITCHENS

CREATIVE CABINETRY

1 ALL IN THE MIX

‘A dresser or farmhouse table with scrubbed timber top can be all it takes to prevent kitchens feeling too “fitted”,’ says Merlin Wright, design director, Plain English. ‘The addition of any freestanding piece is an opportunity to add texture and variety as a counterpoint to a kitchen’s fitted cupboards – be they vintage, antique or very crisp and modern; all bring interest and personality.’ Kitchen in Rusty Nail from the Colour Collection No. 1; bespoke kitchens start at £50,000, Plain English.

2 RAISE IT UP

Just because an island unit can’t be moved, doesn’t mean it can’t appear freestanding. Elevating the unit on legs allows light to flow underneath, creating an air of portability. Run power supplies for appliances inside or behind the legs to suspend the illusion. Plumbing can be concealed centrally in deeper island units. Don’t forget, the longer the legs, the less storage you’ll achieve so do balance the design to suit your needs. The Hardwick collection in Highland Stone, with sideboard in Lava; kitchens start at £12,000, Masterclass Kitchens.
