Leicht by Vogue Kitchens - West London Contemporary Open Plan Kitchen
As part of a rear extension leading to a garden via two sets of bi-folding doors, this bright open plan kitchen comprises a larger lifestyle space with a living and dining area. It was designed by Jo Johal, managing director of Vogue Kitchens, using furniture by premium German brand, Leicht. The client has a large family, is a keen cook and likes to regularly entertain, so the kitchen was designed with those requirements in mind.
This contemporary handleless kitchen features a wealth of storage with one wall featuring a run of tall lacquered gloss cabinets in Frosty White colourway with carcases in Platinum, together with overhead cupboards in the same finish that are lit from beneath via LED’s. Further undercounter units and pull-out drawers are also in Platinum and integrated within the undercounter storage is a 60cm Siemens dishwasher. Internal storage is highly detailed with lots of shelving, drawer units and a full cookware centre incorporated.
Breaking the run of overhead units is a section of backlit decorative shelving for glassware and crockery. To the right of the kitchen the tall units include an integrated fridge and freezer, and to the left there are further tall cabinets that house a bank of ovens by Siemens, which include a 60cm oven next to a 45cm steam oven with a 14cm warming drawer beneath – all fitted at waist level to make it easier to view what’s cooking. Situated within the Quartzform worktop against the back wall is a wet area for food preparation with a sink and tap by Blanco and a Boiling Water Tap by Quooker.
The central island is designed so that the cook can face out to the room, whilst entertaining. It is also designed in an L-shape to accommodate seating on two sides. The undercounter units are featured in a laminate finish in Liton grey colourway and the Quartzform worktop in Veined Michelangelo corresponds with the same worktop colour behind. Installed within are two types of hobs, a 90cm gas hob and 30cm domino induction hob, all by Siemens. A the front of the island is a 60cm wine cooler by Caple, while a ceiling extractor by Air Uno is directly above. Three long pendant lights are located above the island.
