10 Kitchens That Break The Mould – Houzz


Jo Simmons at Houzz showcases this unique kitchen with doors colour blocked in Mondrian colours. The island is cleverly mounted on a Perspex stand making it appear as though it’s floating helping the space to feel bigger and lighter. The yellow floor has a big thumbs up from us, much like the orange floor used in this Wood & Wire project.

210 Unusual Kitchen Ideas – Pinterest


Kim Dean’s board on Pinterest features this unusual kitchen worktop idea. A handy knife block and chopping board which can be folded away to the wall when not in use. With a uniquely designed bespoke kitchen, so much is possible as we demonstrated for our clients The Solomons. Having a small house and tight kitchen space, they asked us to help make room in their scheme for their vacuum cleaner.

Weird And Wonderful Kitchens – Ideal Home


Thea at Ideal Home collates a collection of (dare we say it?) horrific unusual kitchen schemes, although we were fond of this organic narrowboat kitchen. Whilst this is an uncommon project for us to select, being based in Hebden Bridge, narrow-boat homes are no strangers to us. An unconventional kitchen for an equally unconventional home.

140 Unique Kitchen Ideas – Pinterest


This quirky kitchen island idea features on the Design Ideas board over at Pinterest. A technicolour centrepiece, this kitchen idea is a real focal point against the white backdrop of the remaining space. Made of Lego, we’re not sure how they did it (perhaps it’s a render?) but this certainly must be a labour of love and we love it too!

19 Awkwardly Shaped Kitchen Ideas – Homify


Valchromat is an unusual kitchen material. It’s more expensive than other materials and requires a specialised finish. However, what you get in return is a unique kitchen cabinet featuring a depth of colour and texture which is second to none. Paired down like this scheme selected by Homify, a valchromat option doesn’t have to be all out there. This nonconforming material choice can instead portray understated elegance. As Valchromat specialists we of course really love working with this material.

49 Small Kitchen Designs – House & Garden


This isn’t strictly an unusual kitchen idea but with the general cultural trend of fully integrated, minimalist kitchens it’s unconventional to suggest having everything out on show. However, as House & Garden detail in this article, when space is tight, shelves are much more accessible, practical and will most definitely save you a head injury or two.
