Streamlined Style

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.

Our previous kitchen was more traditional,’ explains Marty. ‘It was wooden with black granite with a six ring gas burner in the middle of the island which was in an L shape. Wrights Design House were recommended by the builder Kyle Garrett, the owner of Garrett Homes, so we went and had a chat with designer Glen in the showroom. We got a good vibe from him – he understood what we were thinking about and had great suggestions.’

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.’
