We have recently completed a fantastic kitchen in Ilkley for Trevor & Brenda Murch. They came to us some time ago with a specific brief - to open up a kitchen & utility into one big space. Their existing kitchen was nearly 30 years old, the walls were clad floor to ceiling in pine and Trevor kept banging his nose on the extractor! Our Senior Designer Heather showed them how by removing a wall they could open up the room giving it a much better feeling of space and light. Heather designed an s-shaped island with an overhanging breakfast bar - so that, on their request, they could eat breakfast over looking Ilkley Moor!

The kitchen itself is Charles Rennie Mackintosh Touch Gloss Ivory with a walnut island - it features a full set of Neff appliances, including an extra wide flushline induction hob, flush fitting ceiling extractor and combi microwave oven. The bank of tall housings at the back of the room also includes an LCD television integrated into a kitchen door! Trevor & Brenda chose Silestone Zirconium worksurfaces with upstands and a Kamala Brown Pergo floor and needless to say they are delighted with the result.

'We chose Knaresborough Kitchens because of their innovative design, we also got on extremely well with our Designer Heather and were confident that they would provide exactly what we wanted - and we were proven correct. The icing on the cake was the decoration, having a feature wall where the appliances are - they guided us on colour and even provided their decorator Johnny to complete the whole project - from building work to decoration, they have taken care of everything seamlesly.'
