A sublime example of ‘old meets new’, this Peterborough and Montreal combination will attract admirers from both sides of the fence with its modern, monochromatic look, enhanced by the magnificent rustic central island. Inspired by the chemist’s shop of old, the eclectic island design with its infinite number of drawers, leather strap handles and open crate boxes will not only offer ample storage space, it will also create an important focal point for the room. Added texture and warmth is provided by the island’s prominent sandblasted Oak finish, which is then topped off by a slate worktop.

The Peterborough door, with its unique chamfered appearance, adorns the surrounding wall and base units and is punctuated by various accessories ranging from a contemporary style overmantle flanked by ‘secret’ open shelving to inset oak chopping boards. The mirrored glass used in the Georgian frames adds to the room’s overall modern appeal.

The kitchen shown here features Peterborough Painted Gun Metal Grey (wall & base units on left, dresser) and Brilliant White (wall & base units at rear) with Oak inset trays. Montreal island has a sandblasted Character Oak finish.
