New York – USA
Overlooking the New York skyline, this American kitchen features a large island and full height cabinetry. The worktops are made from white marble but you could easily replicate this look using our Calcutta marble effect worktops. The mixed materials, such as stainless steel, complement the wooden cabinet doors to give this kitchen a contemporary feel, whilst the large window allows in maximum natural light.

Florianópolis – Brazil
This Brazilian kitchen on Santa Catarina Island utilises solid wood worktops and black stone to create a contemporary contrast. The two-level workspace is ideal for keeping food preparation and dining separate. To create this effect in your kitchen, you could combine full stave oak worktops and black sparkle Andromeda worktops. Without a doubt, this open plan kitchen diner is the ideal solution for entertaining.

London – UK
A little closer to home, this British kitchen is bright and airy. The white walls, ceiling, cabinet frontals and worktops accentuate the natural light, making the room feel even more spacious. The traditional cabinet doors and cornices combined with the ceramic Belfast sink give the impression that this kitchen is in the country and not the city.

Tokyo – Japan
Houses in Japan are famous for being space saving. However, this Tokyo kitchen is spacious, bright and airy. With a full glass wall to let in maximum light, it has a clear view of the courtyard garden and brings an element of nature into the kitchen. As with the New York kitchen, the island is a focal point and yet it does not detract from the wonderful garden view.

With an astonishing vista of the South Atlantic Ocean, it features animalistic patterns, African art and a luxurious dark wood table. The contrast of light cabinet frontals and dark worktops combine well with the bold geometric designs to make this kitchen contemporary and beautiful.
