Garden Tour: A Dull Driveway is Totally Transformed

The boiler remained in its original location, but Natasha concealed it inside a new wall cabinet, painted to blend in with the walls to help it ‘disappear’. “Your eye instead goes to the wood and the extractor hood,” Natasha says.

The fluted section is 3D panelling that’s glued to the wall and painted. “It’s waterproof, so it’s perfect for a kitchen,” Natasha says. “We took the quartz worktop quite high and into the windowsill, so tiles would have looked odd above it there. It was about finding something else that would keep the surface looking interesting. “We’ve only used it on that wall,” she adds. “Taking it all the way around the room would have been too much, especially with the textured tiles opposite.”

Exploit skinny spaces Another area ripe for exploitation in the name of storage is the gap between a tall fridge and the wall. “If made to measure,” Odile says, “it could store as much as a 600mm base cupboard and wall unit put together – and it’ll be much more user-friendly.” In this example, a skinny pull-out forms the outer edge of a storage ‘cube’, with an integrated fridge-freezer on the right (you can see more in the next photo). “A bespoke kitchen designer will know what’s possible and what isn’t,” she says, “and will often find several solutions to problems you didn’t know could be solved.”
