Mr & Mrs Beaumont - East Yorkshire

After their farmhouse-style kitchen was lost due to flooding, a viewing of the gorgeous RWK German kitchen displays at Mulberry in Hull convinced Josie Beaumont that her long-term desire for "Something completely different," was finally within her reach.

After several consultations with our designer Colleen, it was agreed that the dominant colour would be graphite, strategically highlighted by magnolia contrasts and topped with a warm planked walnut. The continental styling was further enhanced by stainless steel plinths, handles and luxury appliances by Neff.

A clever use of "floating" glass display cabinets over the walnut breakfast bar completes a superbly efficient and pleasing layout.

Mrs Beaumont told me, "As we had so many problems with the floods and our building works, I naturally assumed that the kitchen would go wrong too! Not so - Mulberry were the last people in and I have to say that the kitchen was the only thing that went without a hitch - everything fitted, all the men were wonderful, I'm so thrilled with it - everything is at hand and everyone that's seen it loves it."
