If you’re planning a full kitchen renovation, take inspiration from this thoughtful kitchen design by Studio Fabbri. Designer Gemma Fabbri had a run of floor-to-ceiling cabinets designed to hide appliances, food supplies, the boiler and everyday clutter that might otherwise drift onto work surfaces.
“I wanted to get things off the [countertop] as it’s mostly on the island and I didn’t want much on there,” Fabbri says.
The wall of cabinets has two standard Ikea cabinets on the left, one of which contains the refrigerator, two wider, 32-inch ones, which were custom made. One is a double-door pantry cabinet containing a coffee machine and toaster.
Every member of the family has been considered too. When Fabbri was left with a slim space next to the boiler cupboard, she decided to make a cat tunnel. “The panel pops off so you can get in there to clean it, and there’s a piece of carpet in there so their feet dry a little,” she says.
