As you step into the beautiful, light-filled kitchen within this Cheshire home, you can’t fail to notice how well every detail works together to create a truly cohesive design. For the homeowners, it is all thanks to the natural elegance of CRL Stone’s exquisite Messina Gold quartz, which has effortlessly tied the scheme together to give their kitchen a fresh new look.

When the family approached LM Stone Creative, which specialises in providing bespoke stone worksurfaces, they were looking for help in refreshing rather than completely re-designing their open-plan kitchen. Large windows and doors flood the space with natural light and the homeowners wanted to inject a more modern and luxurious feel to their kitchen.

Previously, the surfaces, including the splashbacks and worktops, were clad in three different materials, which didn’t create a very cohesive design. So, LM Stone Creative knew that helping the homeowners pick one single surface that could be used throughout the kitchen was key to transforming the space.

The homeowners were introducing warm metallic accents to complement the colour scheme in their existing utility room and wanted a quartz surface that would accentuate them. They had opted for brushed gold handles and pulls to match their brushed metallic mixer tap, pendent lights and range cooker and needed a surface that would really tie the whole look together.

Although CRL Stone’s comprehensive quartz collection incorporates a variety of stunning gold- as well as bronze-veined quartz worktops, it was Messina Gold that really stood out to the homeowners.

Combining delicate gold veining with a crisp white background, CRL’s Messina Gold quartz is effortlessly elegant. Incredibly versatile, this stunning surface is designed to make a subtle design statement and work in harmony with any décor, from classic to contemporary. And, most importantly when it came to this kitchen, it’s the perfect partner for brushed metallic sinks, taps and accessories.

Not only was CRL Stone’s Messina Gold used for the worktops, upstands and splashbacks, but it also proved to be the perfect top for the custom dining table. “We previously had a glass table at the end of our island that we were keen to replace,” explains the homeowner. “So, LM Stone Creative made us a table slab as an extension of the island and recommended EliteHouse Maintenance who made us a table base that matched our existing wooden island – we are delighted with the result!”

The kitchen cabinetry was resprayed by Cheshire Transform and the Sage Green paint used on the island brings a splash of subtle, sophisticated colour to the space. It was continued on the adjoining table, extending the visual link between it and the island. Although the table looks as though it is part of the island, it has been made so that it can be moved away from the island as and when required.

The homeowners couldn’t be happier with the end result. “We love it. It’s now had the facelift it so desperately needed and we really love the fresh, modern vibe that the Messina Gold surfaces have given the kitchen.” www.crlstone.co.uk
