We settled on raw faced ply cabinets, faced with a black and off white matt Fenix. This gave them a characterful, contemporary look and the durability they needed for the family space. The worktop and upstand are Minerva with a flecked pattern to pick out the cabinet colours.

The end result is a sharp, modern look, lots of clever storage packed into quite a small space, and it still compliments the period of the house. We are all especially happy with the coffee area, designed to hide the boiler and washing machine – the full height shelves are really impactful too. Also, the worktop really stands out. Minerva is a brilliant product to work with and one you can rescue if family life makes a mark. Even Wurli the spaniel got her own little space too!
