Set in Edinburgh, this modern and minimalist kitchen was designed with heavy family use and frequent baking in mind – calling for materials which effortlessly blend durability and elegance.
A melody of pale grey cabinets, oak panelling, and black steel hardware is paired with Caesarstone 4601 Frozen Terra worktops, which extend into a waterfall-edge island and a partial splashback. The surface’s neutral canvas is embellished by glimmers of black basalt and translucent grey, fusing the playfulness of terrazzo with the robustness of concrete. This design was chosen to tie the material palette together. The flecks in the surface mirror the silver appliances and black detailing throughout the space, creating a harmonious culinary scheme.
The kitchen forms the nucleus of the house, presenting an opportunity to sit and relax at bar stools whilst food and drinks are prepared. Nick McNally, Designer and Founder of Kitchens By Nick McNally, explains: “This kitchen design was part of a larger renovation project which involved adding a rear extension to a 1940’s bungalow. The new space is a broken-plan cooking and living area suitable for a busy family of four who regularly entertain and have a deep passion for baking.”
The brief was to create a bright, airy space with a focus on soft, neutral tones. “Caesarstone delivers the exact look and practicality that the client desired,” says McNally. “We’ve found that Caesarstone’s concrete-look designs are superior to the other options on the market.” 4601 Frozen Terra tops the large central island, acting as the foundation for an abundance of activities – ranging from baking and crafting to casual dining and homework.
It’s no secret kitchens are a highly busy place for families, and the worktop, more than any other part, really takes the brunt of this. Beyond its evident aesthetic qualities, the choice of 4601 Frozen Terra speaks to a commitment to both form and function. In a space as central and frequently used as the kitchen, surfaces that can withstand everyday wear and tear are key.
The non-porous nature of Caesarstone’s designs ensures that they are highly resistant to stains, scratches, and heat – meaning owners can enjoy the beauty of their kitchen without the stress of constant maintenance. And for added peace of mind, Caesarstone offers a unique Lifetime Warranty for all residential applications, giving customers confidence in the enduring durability of its products.
