The furniture is handmade in Yorkshire, and it is handpainted on site. The aesthetic of Plain English pays tribute to the British craftsmen of the past whose honest, unfussy and functional designs were built to withstand a lifetime of everyday use. Kitchens are created with sustainably sourced timber, honed marble, raw stone and unpolished metals.

It also features a bold, black island with white quartz countertop in the center of the room. This drama is softened a bit by natural stone tiles and paint in neutral colors. It has gorgeous, wide-plank hardwood flooring and custom white cabinetry with chrome-finished pulls. The appliances are built into the cabinetry for a clean, efficient look. Black granite countertops with a curved profile and black wrought iron lighting finish off the look with contrast and style.

The aqua backsplace pictured here brings this space to life without feeling kitschy. When you can’t have an eat-in table, opt for the sleeker and more streamlined eat-in bar. The eat-in bar will give you the option to dine where you cook and prepare your food. It is also great as a food bar for parties and when you have company. This eat-in bar design effectively separates the cooking and preparation section of the island from the dining area.
