This month’s featured kitchen showcases the timeless appeal of white quartz worktops combined with bold dark blue cabinetry from The Painted Kitchen. Expertly installed by Portman Stone, this project brings together practical functionality and standout design using high-quality engineered stone.
Bold Contrast with White Quartz Worktops and Navy Cabinets
The centrepiece of this kitchen is the elegant contrast between the Sergio white quartz worktops and rich, dark blue painted kitchen units. The pairing feels fresh and contemporary, creating a visual balance that enhances the kitchen’s light and space.
The white quartz worktops reflect natural and artificial light, brightening the room while offering a crisp backdrop to the cabinetry. This engineered stone is ideal for everyday use, combining strength with subtle luxury.
Why Quartz is Perfect for Kitchens
Quartz is one of the most popular choices for kitchen worktops and for good reason. As an engineered stone, quartz offers the aesthetic appeal of natural stone with added durability. It resists stains, scratches, and heat, making it a practical choice for busy kitchens.
Multi-Functional Island with Quartz Worktops
The large central island is both a practical workspace and a social hub. The kitchen island functions as a prep area, a casual dining space, and even a quartz table for coffee or breakfast. The choice of engineered stone here means this surface stands up to heavy daily use while maintaining its clean appearance. Accented with vibrant yellow stools, the island adds a cheerful touch and invites guests to gather while meals are being prepared.
Finishing Touches: Brass Details and Statement Lighting
The navy kitchen cabinets are complemented by brushed brass handles, adding warmth and a touch of luxury to the space. Overhead, a trio of black pendant lights with gold interiors introduces an industrial-inspired detail that ties the room together.
Together, these finishing touches create a cohesive design that feels modern, lived-in, and timeless.

A recent one we’ve wrapped up at Madeira Road, BH1.
We worked with ASN Capital on The Avebury development, supplying and installing worktops across the 1, 2 and 3-bed apartments. Clean, simple finishes that work across every unit and still look sharp.
Good project to be involved in — always nice seeing it come together at the end.

A great project and a pleasure to collaborate from start to finish.
