Freestanding kitchen islands: beautiful, flexible, and made to move with you.

More than just extra workspace, a freestanding island can become the heart of your kitchen — perfect for prep, serving, casual seating, and everyday living.

Unlike a fitted island, it offers flexibility too. Change the layout, refresh the style, or simply move it when your needs evolve.

A freestanding island adds character while making the most of your space.

Practicality meets personality — right at the centre of your kitchen.

We love how this dining space balances warm, natural materials with clean contemporary lines — from the soft oak cabinetry and timber slat wall to the tactile rug and woven seating with storage.

We particularly love the bespoke wine cupboard, integrated seamlessly into the cabinetry.

Not only does it provide practical storage, but it turns something functional into a beautiful architectural feature — keeping everything close at hand when entertaining, without compromising the clean, calm feel of the room.

The generous rooflight brings the whole room to life, flooding it with natural light and creating that effortless connection to the outdoors.

Thoughtful design isn’t just about how a room looks — it’s about how it feels and functions for everyday life.

Warmth. Texture. Light. Simplicity.

A stunning bathroom transformation✨

Our client wanted a bright, modern bathroom — a space where she could relax, unwind and truly enjoy the room.

The original corner bath was tucked away and wasn’t particularly practical, so we completely rethought the layout to create a bathroom that feels more spacious, stylish and functional.

The details make the difference:

• Fibo tile-effect wet wall creates a clean, contemporary finish while making the bathroom incredibly easy to maintain — no grout lines to scrub!

• A bright accent colour in the shower area creates a stunning focal point and adds personality to the space.

• Beautiful oak modular furniture from Millers, our bespoke Swedish brand, brings warmth and natural texture to the room, complimented by matching accessories.

• Luxury LVT wood-plank-effect flooring, complete with built-in underlay, ties beautifully into the oak furniture.

• A curved back-to-wall bath softens the overall look while opening up the walkways and improving the flow of the room.

• An LED mirror adds a touch of ambient lighting and contemporary style.

• A large heated towel rail in brushed brass completes the look and ties perfectly into the bathroom’s colour scheme.

The result? A bright, luxurious and beautifully practical bathroom designed around how our customer actually wanted to use the space.

We asked our latest client…

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 OLD Bathroom

❌ No storage apart from small cabinet that that to reach over the toilet to get to

❌ Corner bath that was too small to have a proper bath (wallow) in

❌ A bidet that was non-functional

❌ Old shower cubicle

❌ Tiled Walls that looked outdated and ceiling that was old and difficult to clean

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 NEW Bathroom

✅ Love the huge new bath and the lovely double-headed shower!

✅ Lots of storage - drawers under basin and shelving cupboard

✅ Easy to keep clean walls and ceiling - makes the bathroom look so much brighter

✅ Units off the floor so easy to sweep under and clean

✅ Bathroom looks bigger and the layout flows so much better - with more space to move about between shower and bath.

“I found this hard to just five things I like because the whole bathroom is amazing!”

The Designer’s Take ✨

A brighter take on a classic kitchen layout..
⬅️ SWIPE for Before & After

Our clients wanted to retain the existing kitchen layout while making the space feel brighter, lighter and more open.

With limited natural light coming through the small window, the old oven housing was also blocking some of that precious light. We carefully considered how to improve the flow of the room without changing the overall layout.

The clients were also keen on an American-style fridge freezer. While practical, these can be quite bulky and easily become a focal point in the room. Instead, we opted for tall, integrated fridge and freezer units, giving them all the storage they wanted while keeping the overall look streamlined.

We positioned all of the cooking appliances along one wall, leaving the opposite wall completely clear and dedicated to food preparation. This creates a much cleaner, more functional workspace.

The matt light grey cabinetry is paired with a beautiful quartz worktop and matching splashback, adding subtle colour while helping to reflect and maximise the available light.

To complete the space, we designed a bespoke dining table using the same quartz stone, creating a lovely connection between the kitchen and dining area.

A thoughtful redesign that keeps the original layout, but makes the space feel brighter, more spacious and much more considered.

Here’s another transformation we have recently completed. We asked the client…
