Design it your way... MIX& MATCH Sherwood As well as being ranges in their own right - all three of our Sherwood finishes work perfectly well alongside each other - a great opportunity to mix and match colours within the same kitchen design. We ve seen this trend make some headway in Autumn last year, and there s no sign of it stopping now! As featured here, an island arrangement is a great way to introduce this theme - but also try mixing different colours of base units to wall units, or pick out specific blocks of cabinetry in a freestanding theme - the design options are endless! Create a modern twist on a contemporary classic, which will still be on trend 10 years from now. 6 www.benchmarxkitchens.co.uk

Our Soho Light Grey Gloss kitchen featured here is only 2.8 metres long, yet offers all of the essential things we need in a working kitchen - including a tall fridge/ freezer, a dishwasher, as well as the very latest in cooking technology. There are no compromises to be seen! We ve got years of experience in tailoring effective storage designs to suit all tastes and budgets and we ll work with your chosen installer to create the perfect kitchen for you. Larders If you re pressed for space, but still like the traditional pantry feel, why not opt for a larder. It s freestanding and can accommodate pull out storage at the bottom. Don t let your space compromise your dream kitchen! STORAGE Our corner pantries combine substance and style to create a feature in your kitchen for foodies to be proud of!
