A stylish space for entertaining
Mollie’s old kitchen was outdated and cramped, making it uninspiring and difficult to use. So, her new design had to transform her open-plan room into a stylish, multi-functional area where she could whip up quick meals, entertain friends and family, or unwind after a long day in the studio.
Why Mollie chose Howdens
Mollie’s sister had a Howdens kitchen, and Mollie fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. Eager to find out more, she researched Howdens and was impressed with the variety of styles, colours and finishes available. This gave her confidence that she could create a custom design that reflected her personality and lifestyle.
Mollie SAYS
"My kitchen designer was really helpful, and had so many useful suggestions on how to get the most from my design. My current space is quite dark, so I was advised to add plenty of light to draw attention to statement features and brighten the room."
Mollie says
“Having an experienced tradesman like Rickie on hand gave me confidence that my kitchen would be fitted to a professional standard. He was also able to recommend a qualified electrician who could fit all of my new lighting, which saved me time.”

From luxe quartz, to a hot water tap, explore the products that Mollie used to create a custom design.
White quartz counters
Mollie wanted to use her room for entertaining, so adding a breakfast area makes it multi-functional. She chose a quartz counter in bright white, which has a premium look that makes a statement.

Glass wall cupboards
Glazed units add visual interest and offer a place to show-off barware and trinkets- great when socialising. They also help to break up rows of wall cupboards, making the room appear more open.

Cupboard lighting
Mollie chose retro-fit lights inside her wall cupboards to create a stylish display that showcases her favourite glassware. She also went for down lighters underneath, to brighten work areas when preparing dishes.

Instant hot water tap
As well as saving on energy, opting for an instant hot water tap meant that Mollie could have access to near-boiling water instantly. This made it simple to have a quick cuppa to ease those early mornings.
