PROJECT DETAILS
Every kitchen project starts with a problem to solve. For this South London home, the aim was to open up a crowded U-shaped layout, keep useful storage and deliver the handleless look the customer wanted, all for £5,598.
Designed by Jing Wang, Kitchen Coach at KUBE Dulwich, this kitchen combines Senso Coral and Senso Slate Grey with a 16mm White Concrete slimline worktop. It is a good example of how thoughtful planning and flexible cabinetry can make a challenging space feel simpler, brighter and easier to use.

The brief: open up a crowded kitchen
This South London house had an existing U-shaped kitchen, with one side positioned against the window. It provided useful workspace, but it also made the room feel enclosed and restricted movement.
The customer wanted a more open layout that would be easier to move around in, while keeping plenty of storage and worktop space. They also had a clear design vision: a genuinely handle-less kitchen with a modern, streamlined finish.
This was not simply a change of doors. It was a complete replacement kitchen with a new layout designed around the way the room needed to work.
The design challenge: making the most of the chimney breast
The chimney breast was one of the room’s main design challenges. The customer wanted the units to wrap around it and sit flush at the front, creating a clean run of cabinetry without losing useful storage.
Removing one side of the original U-shaped layout also meant that every centimetre mattered. Jing Wang used the flexibility of KUBE Kitchens cabinetry, including depth reduction options, to adapt the units to the shape of the room.
The result is a design that works with the chimney breast rather than trying to hide it. The cabinetry feels balanced, intentional and fitted to the space.
THREE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DESIGN
A 16mm slimline worktop
The customer wanted to avoid a traditional 38mm worktop, which would not have suited the sleek look of the design. Instead, Jing specified a 16mm White Concrete slimline worktop.
The slimmer profile complements the handleless doors and gives the kitchen a sharper, more refined finish. Its light concrete effect also helps bring the Coral and Slate Grey finishes together.
