Marty and Ciarraigh wanted a contemporary kitchen for their new build Saintfield home. Step forward Wrights Design House who created a streamlined and modern kitchen with a striking lime green splash back.
A collaborative process then began with the couple and Wrights Design House designer Glen. ‘We didn’t have a specific design brief other than we knew that the kitchen needed to be enjoyable to cook in,’ says Marty. ‘Both Ciarraigh and I like to cook and so making sure that worked from a functional perspective was always foremost in my mind. In our last kitchen the breakfast bar was too small (we have three kids) and so getting that right this time was important. Our new island is just over three metres long! We also wanted the cooking area to be facing into the room and so the hob is in the island. It’s much more sociable than having your back to everybody.’
