Traditional meets Hamptons in this light and airy kitchen

Lighting is incredibly important in a kitchen when dealing with hot pots and sharp knives, so ensure your lighting choices are well thought out. This kitchen has downlights as well as pretty pendants hung over the island bench; these are ideal for extra light and ambience

To add interest to a neutral colour palette, texture and pattern has been incorporated here, as seen in these penny round mosaic tiles. For similar, try ceramic gloss ‘75232’ penny rounds from Academy Tiles. Detailed panel and frame joinery is a hallmark of the classic Hamptons style and looks stunning with cup drawer pulls – try Restoration Online for similar handles

Open shelving is great for displaying art and family mementoes, with plenty of storage in the run of units at the rear of this kitchen and on both sides of the kitchen island

The kitchen workspaces are clad in gorgeous Carrara marble from Corsi & Nicolai
