Stunning Kitchen Update with Bold Elegance
Location: Maidstone, Kent
Project: Kitchen refresh with quartz overlay worktops and replacement doors
Customer: Mr & Mrs Taylor
Overview
Mr & Mrs Taylor wanted to modernise their Maidstone kitchen without the mess and cost of a full full refit. The old woodgrain units and darker counters no longer reflected their style. By opting for this approach, they achieved a complete before-and-after refresh that kept the existing layout while upgrading the visible elements for a bold yet refined new look.
What Changed
- Worktops: Installed Bianco Riso Quartz overlay worktops, a bright white quartz with subtle texture that reflects light beautifully and balances the dark cabinetry.
- Cabinet Doors: Updated to Taunton Graphite Matt doors, a timeless panel design in a rich, matte grey tone for depth and sophistication.
- Finishing Touches: Sleek cup handles and a timeless white subway tile backsplash completed the look, blending traditional charm with contemporary freshness.
