An extraordinary straight-run kitchen
09 June 2026
Straight run in white: silver handle rails, dark worktop, AEG in the cooking zone.
White matt fronts, plus a dark stone-look worktop and a grey splashback. The silver handle rails hold the line of the drawers.
A straight run along the wall: sink, cooking, oven beneath, a tall unit on the right. Wall units sit as a continuous row above.
AEG induction hob, AEG oven under the worktop, slim hood under the wall units. Franke sink in black, tap in stainless steel.
Result
A clear run for an open room: little form, plenty of contrast, the appliances sit in one line.

Project overview
This kitchen is a straight run along one wall. The space beside it stays free — standing tables and stools stand in the same room, the kitchen itself remains a line.
The fronts are white and matt. On the base units, silver handle rails sit at the upper edge of the doors and drawers. Worktop and splashback are dark grey, the sink black. Round LED spots sit under the wall units.
On the right a tall unit closes the run. The wall behind the kitchen is painted anthracite and picks up the dark worktop.
Planning concept
A run saves floor area: sink, cooking and oven sit one after another on one axis. The oven sits under the hob, not in a tall unit. Pots sit in the drawers directly under the cooking zone — the top drawer holds a cutlery insert.
The wall units form a continuous row. The niche between them remains a smooth grey surface, with a vertical socket strip.
Materials
White matt fronts. The base units open via silver handle rails; the wall units stay without applied handles.
The worktop is dark grey with a fine stone texture. The splashback is a smooth grey panel in the same colour family.
The floor is light grey, smooth, without the grout pattern of a small tile.
Appliances & products
The hob is an AEG induction hob — the logo sits on the front glass edge. Beneath it stands an AEG oven with a black glass front; the logo is readable on the lower edge of the door.
Above the hob sits a slim extractor hood integrated into the wall units.
The sink is black, with a drainer. The Franke logo is readable on the bowl. The tap is an L-shaped spout in stainless steel.
