If your kitchen is long and narrow, choosing a freestanding kitchen can help to maximise the space and give the illusion of a wider, brighter living area. Doing away with the need for head-height cabinetry and using open shelving will draw the eye and keep the space looking smart and sophisticated. Using an eye catching colour such as veridian offers a sense of calming reassurance, bringing about a culinary space which is effortlessly stylish.
Using a freestanding kitchen island as a statement piece in the centre of the room creates more space and creates a sociable hub for easy entertaining. This integral addition to the kitchen eradicates the need for more counter space and creates a focal point, especially when combined with freestanding cabinets in a complementing shade.
Kitchens are rife with colour opportunities; from appliances to cabinets, windows to flooring, blending complementing hues will give your kitchen a highly personal look which stands the test of time. Create a beautiful focal point for your living space with freestanding pieces in whatever colours make you smile – blues and greens give a peaceful air to the space, whilst a crisp white backdrop will make colours pop.
Placing a sink unit under the kitchen window is a classic kitchen design feature, and for good reason. Whilst this configuration makes for a practical solution (you won’t splash your cabinets whilst doing the dishes), it also makes a beautiful focal point which is flooded with light. And of course offers you a view to admire whilst cleaning those pots and pans.
A freestanding kitchen larder adds an interesting dynamic to the kitchenscape which is supremely versatile. Whether you choose to fill it with beautiful handcrafted ceramics for all to see, or use it as an extra space for storing jars of dry goods, a beautiful handcrafted pantry unit can be the extra element your kitchen needs to look effortlessly stylish and elegant.
Cleverly planned statement lighting can bring your room out of the shadows and throw light on the hub of the home. Good lighting can set the mood of your kitchen and transform a room, taking it from ‘meh’ to ‘wow’ at the flick of a switch. These pendant lights are subtle enough not to draw attention away from the focal point yet frame it beautifully and provide the perfect amount of light for cooking. Lighting shouldn’t be an afterthought- the most beautiful kitchens consider the lighting early in the kitchen design stage as it is integral to the entire look.
Whether your kitchen is modern or more traditional in style, using copper kitchen accents can add warmth and glamour to your space. Copper works with so many colours and really underpins your style to bring about a space which is effortlessly sophisticated. Copper or bronze accents give a real lift to the space and make a welcome alternative to the more usual stainless steel colour. Try using copper for your taps, coffee pots and sinks for a stylish addition which will turn heads for many years to come.
For many a range cooker is the pinnacle of taste and style. A range cooker has more versatility and much larger capacity than a traditional fitted cooker, providing the perfect centrepiece to your kitchen. A range cooker is freestanding and as such, works in perfect symbiosis with a freestanding kitchen. Like a freestanding kitchen, your range cooker can move with you as you move house meaning that the investment will stand the test of time and be yours to enjoy forever.
Choosing a freestanding kitchen offers you the freedom of choice. Choosing individual elements in complementing colours is one of the ways in which a freestanding kitchen differs from a traditional fitted kitchen, giving you the chance to get creative and define your personality through a blend of colourways and palettes.
Our freestanding units give scope to move your kitchen furniture around for an occasional new look whenever you please.
