Custom colours for cookers, with three to four ovens and gas or induction cooktops

Just as the kitchen is the heart of the home, so the cooker is the focal point of the kitchen.

With a history of more than a 100 years, vintage-style cookers by Belling are still being manufactured in Britain. These cookers have a strong aesthetic appeal, and a notable point of difference from most traditionally styled cookers the Belling colour selection.

Bellings original 12 colours proved immensely popular, so the service was expanded to offer a custom colour boutique that allows you to get the exact shade you want in a smooth, high-tech, high-gloss finish.

General manager Karl Brooks says many people are looking to make a strong design statement in their kitchen.

"The Richmond cooker is the first thing you see it becomes a real conversation piece. But it's also about intelligent practicality with the multi-cavity ovens. Depending on the cooker size 90cm or 110cm there are three or four separate independently operated ovens.

"All the ovens might be in use at once for a special occasion, such as Christmas Day. You may have a pavlova cooking in one, a turkey in the other, and roast vegetables in the third oven. Yet for everyday cooking, you may need just a single small oven. This means you are not using more energy than you need heating up a large oven for a small dish."

The Richmond also caters to all your cooktop needs, with either gas or new energy-efficient induction hobs.

The kitchens featured on these pages showcase the Richmond 110cm model in Wild Berry, and 90cm cookers in Day's Break and Metallic Red.

Richmond cookers are exclusive to Harvey Norman stores throughout the country.
