FAMILY STYLE

This family opted for a complete kitchen redesign. A previously small and dark room was turned into a welcoming, bright, spacious space. When it came to choosing the colour – the family used the floor tiles in the cooking area as inspiration. They created a colour scheme with a sense of unity and one that comes to life with the natural light that has been introduced. The matte blue kitchen island, combined with the white countertop, splashback and cabinetry offers a fresh feel with the navy doorway bringing it all together.

TEXTURED BLUE

This is a truly beautiful space in Tipperary with views of the river Shannon through the stunning glass wall to the rear of the property. Colin Maher Design worked alongside architectural designer Rachel Carmody to achieve this bespoke design. The rich, royal blue on the textured timber cabinetry is a gorgeous combination and makes the kitchen all the more inviting. The veined marble on the countertop and splashback contain blue tones and helps to bring this water-esque space to life. www.colinmaher.ie

LIGHT MODERNITY

Noel Dempsey Design used a minimal palette for the finishes – painted cabinets, Corian worktops and slatted oak on the island. The result is a stunning modern kitchen with a hint of Scandinavian design. This paler blue tone gives the kitchen a lighter feel in keeping with the Scandinavian theme the design team was going for. www.noeldempsey.com
