Nothing communicates cleanliness and class more than ample natural light and a brilliant white colour scheme in a kitchen – and this modern design from Xclusive uses both to maximum effect. The marble-effect flooring is complemented beautifully by the pristine white countertops, with the black cupboards in between providing a sharp and stunning contrast. That duality between black and white is replicated elsewhere in the kitchen, too, from the sink and taps to the peninsular breakfast bar and its four high stools. The self-contained layout of the design also maximises the dimensions available to it, making a cosy area seem spacious. Modern and imaginative.
