Theodore Sterling Project

Theodore Sterling, updating his spacious property on Kew Road in the elegant borough of Richmond, wanted a culinary space that felt both exceptionally bright and wonderfully inviting. Breaking away from traditional neutral tones, he opted for striking powder blue handleless cabinetry to bring a fresh, contemporary energy to the room. To harmonise with this bold colour choice, he needed a pristine, light-reflecting surface. As a leading kitchen worktop specialist, we recommended Mono Calacatta Borghini to provide a brilliant, sophisticated canvas that ties the entire room together effortlessly.

The undisputed centrepiece of this vibrant kitchen is the expansive central island. Wrapped entirely in Mono Calacatta Borghini quartz, it provides a monumental preparation area that perfectly complements the pale wood-effect flooring. Set into this pristine surface is a highly practical stainless steel double undermount sink, paired with a sleek, modern mixer tap.

Beyond the island, the beautiful stone flows seamlessly along the perimeter units to establish a premium quartz worktop in London. Within the dedicated cooking alcove, the quartz travels upwards to form a magnificent, continuous splashback behind the flush modern hob. This not only protects the walls but also creates a stunning focal point, mirroring the bright natural light pouring in from the twin windows.
