The kitchen came from Birkdale Kitchens, on Westbourne Road. We supplied the worktops, island, bar runs and splashbacks in Kelya from the Dekton range.
An island flanked by two bar runs
The island sits at the centre of the room and carries the hob, with seating for four on one side. Either side of the island, the Kelya continues across two further runs lining the walls. Each one has its own open shelving display with a mirrored back, a prep sink and a full-height splashback. A wine fridge is built into the cabinetry next to one of them. With all three in Kelya, the island and both runs look like one kitchen rather than three separate areas.
A downdraft extractor built into the hob
The hob on the island is a black induction one with the extractor built in. When it’s on, a glass guard rises up out of the worktop behind the hob and pulls the steam downwards. There’s no hood over the island, so the pendant lights have the space to themselves and the view down the room stays open.
The same surface on the walls
The splashbacks behind each sink are cut from the same Dekton Kelya as the worktops and run the full height of the cabinetry. There’s no tiling and no grout to keep clean, and the veining carries on from the worktop straight up the wall.

Planning a similar kitchen
Dekton is one of the toughest worktop materials you can get, so it suits a kitchen that gets used hard every day. For another dark veined worktop, have a look at our Viola matt black kitchen. To see full slabs, book a showroom visit or call the team on 01772 440888.
