These kitchens, manufactured by Irish kitchen designers and interior experts, are setting the standard for our dream modern kitchen …
LEVEL UP
This Kube kitchen is boasting a split-level kitchen island that is both sophisticated looking and functional. The handless cabinetry is coated in Kube Concrete Terra Grey, which creates a cool vibe but the adjoining wooden worktop adds warmth and texture to the room. The lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling are also super contemporary and add character to this modern space. www.kubeinteriors.com
COMPLETE LOOK
A waterfall countertop has the power to make all the components of a kitchen come together and complete it. This stone waterfall countertop brings all of the textural elements of this O’Connors kitchen together, the brass finishes, wood grain handleless cabinetry and the low-hanging pendant lights. Design by O’Connor’s of Drumleck with Miller Brothers Stone. www.oconnorsofdrumleck.ie www.millerbrothers.ie
BRIGHT AND FUNCTIONAL
This clever kitchen design is perfect for cooking, preparing and entertaining, as the storage, pantry, cleaning, cooling and refrigeration areas flow seamlessly into each other, ensuring overall efficiency. The interplay of handles and handleless surfaces create a contemporary and dynamic look, especially when incorporated with this concrete range from McNally Kitchens. The antique mirror wall cladding above the counter creates a really modern visual interest in the room, especially when paired with the cleverly placed cubist painting on the opposite wall to reflect in the mirror. The large square window is a source of great light for this darker-toned kitchen, as well as the large sliding doors which open up into the garden. Light, sleek, while also maintaining personality, this kitchen is a cool modern creation. www.mcnallyliving.ie
CLEVER TEXTURE
The textural additions in this kitchen are smart design features that will stand the test of time and work to completely elevate the space. The different textures make the kitchen a satisfying room to look at and live in, surfaces like marble, warm wood grains, and reeded cabinetry bring this bright, modern space to life. www.newcastledesign.ie
SMART APPLIANCES
Nobody is banging holes in walls anymore, the integrated extraction is a huge development in technology, and one we need to make the most of. Another development in technology is the Home Connect App, with which you can now download additional functions onto your Siemens oven, like the air-fryer function! Wine fridges are also very trendy at the moment – just in case you needed an excuse. www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com.
