Of course, this beautiful Neptune kitchen is helped by the lofty proportions of the room and that wonderful curved stone fireplace, but there are take away ideas here for kitchens of all shapes and sizes. Earthy colours with warm tones, natural materials and a muted palette make this a wonderfully serene space.

The open shelving and abundance of wood grain here really makes the elegant neutral-coloured cabinetry pop. The scheme, by Naked Kitchens may be muted in colour, but it’s still full of warmth and interest.

Just a few simple, clever touches give this elegant kitchen, designed by Marie Flanigan Interiors, a touch of luxe. It’s all about the materials; glass lighting, an oversized brass bowl and those pristine, polished marble worktops elevate this look. While we adore those contrasting glass fronted cabinets.

When you are an acclaimed chef for a living, your home kitchen cannot simply be form over function. This British Standard kitchen, which belongs to Skye Gyngell (the chef behind Spring restaurant in London and Marle at Hampshire’s Heckfield Place) is a practical family space. Not only does it look beautiful with exquisite details, but it works hard, too.
