So the family is large and everyone loves to cook the best way to design for multiple chefs is to introduce multiple work zones.

Here, designer Leon House had the advantage of designing the whole home giving him free rein on the kitchen layout.

Glass, wood veneer, and dark lacquered surfaces all come together in this balanced kitchen by Leon House Design.

The kitchen is at the heart of the living area, so has to work well with its surroundings, and always look its best, says House.

"I designed the kitchen in three tiers. The front island, complete with bar fridge, is used for snacking and serving. Behind this, the second island with cooktop is for cooking and cleaning, and behind this again there's a prep bench and cabinetry, with a bank of pantry storage to the right."

In this kitchen design, the on-show surfaces of limed oak, textured white Caesarstone, and black lacquer all complement the decor in the wider living space.

Two sliding glass doors can be drawn across the middle island screening mess from visitors, and also from other family members when they are using the kitchen.

"Tonally, the black rear cabinets and fridge offer a strong backdrop, contrasting the white, textured stone benches which in turn complement the limed oak surfaces," says House. "The predominantly pale palette works with the decor and river views."
