Phil and Paula had recently relocated, but having lived with and loved their previous Lima Kitchen for 8 years, they knew they had to come back to us again.

Updating their kitchen was a top priority in their new home. While unlikely to be their forever home, this would be a long-term investment they wanted to get the most out of. It was extremely important to have a highly functional space with great access and organisation. Although they knew this kitchen would be part of the resale value, they did not want to settle for something safe or impersonal, but rather reflective of their own style. The bold choice of multicoloured timber effect tiles with black shaker doors is an effective combination. To keep the space bright, they wrapped it in white marble quartz, opening up the area and reflecting light. For warmth, oak accents run throughout, adding quality details internally and externally.

This is a beautifully designed kitchen with a wonderful connection to the dining room.
