Project Overview
The pared-back lacquered birch base units are beautifully contrasted with vibrant saffron-painted uppers, creating a warm and uplifting palette in this compact Edinburgh kitchen. A white porcelain worktop threaded with a soft gold vein brings elegance and cohesion to the scheme, while the client’s choice of a colourful feature tile will tie the whole space together. The result is set to be a joyful, personality-filled kitchen that maximises every inch without compromising on style.
A compact cooking zone with the combi oven–microwave tucked beneath the hob and an integrated fridge completing the run. Ample prep space, generous wall storage, under-cabinet lighting, and efficient solutions — including a corner unit with a PowerSlider for easy access — make this small kitchen highly functional.
A smart 450-mm sink with drainer makes the most of what is a tight space, with a recycling drawer below and a dedicated compost drawer to the right.
