Modern Country Style Kitchen with Step Down Island

We maximised all available space by providing inner drawers to the pantry, vertical storage in the island, readily accessible tea towel and cutting board storage open for ventilation yet concealed from view by locating this on the inside of island. This also created a convenient location for island GPO with cables concealed in a void behind. Using shallow cabinets either side of the garden window allowed maximum island width while still maintaining comfortable walkways necessary when clients are entertaining. Floating shelves above the charging zone softened the line of sight from the family room past the integrated ironing centre the to the sun-drenched garden window. The step-down table off the island facilitates comfortable meals and social gatherings within the kitchen while allowing uninterrupted work flow for the hostess while still enjoy the company. To retain the symmetry of the island waterfalls a partial waterfall on the sink run side of the island allows cabinets facing the sink area to be fully utilised.
