 Milton Ivory in-frame doors, with stardust fleck granite worktops Sometimes, unusual shaped kitchens require unusual solutions.Such was the case with this kitchen, which formed part of a large open plan area, on the ground floor of this cottage. The kitchen also had a step up of about 150mm. The end result was a clever design, which made use of the wide range of kitchen units available, and gives the effect of ‘wrapping’ around the pillar.
