Luxurious kitchens don’t have to break the bank or demand expansive extensions. Instead, take a lesson from Laura and Marcus Moore’s kitchen and let a few carefully selected high-end materials take centre stage, incorporate some hidden luxuries and channel symmetry throughout the design. It's surprisingly easy to make a small kitchen look luxurious.
Despite its finished splendour, the Moores’ kitchen was far from luxurious when they first moved into their Victorian home. Having been previously rented, it was in a sorry state. ‘The kitchen was very dated, and the layout just didn’t make sense,’ says Laura. ‘It was a U-shaped kitchen and it had the dishwasher on the opposite side of the peninsula – with no easy access from the cooking area – and the fridge was positioned on a limb next to a sofa.’
