Rohan & Aisha Desai Project

Rohan and Aisha, updating their classic property in the highly sought-after Clarendon Park area of Leicester, desired a kitchen that perfectly balanced heritage charm with contemporary performance. They wanted a striking stone to complement their soft grey shaker cabinetry. When evaluating the quartz worktop price against natural marble, Calacatta Borghini emerged as the clear winner, delivering opulent aesthetics without the vulnerability to daily stains and scratches.

The design features a highly practical L-shaped layout that maximises both workspace and style. The pristine Calacatta Borghini surface flows beautifully across the base units, creating a stunning preparation zone illuminated by the warm glow of under-cabinet LED lighting. A sleek, five-burner stainless steel gas hob is seamlessly integrated into the stone, positioned perfectly beneath a modern Novy extractor hood.

To complete this tailored British look, matching quartz upstands border the perimeter. These not only protect the beautifully painted walls from cooking splashes but also serve to elegantly showcase the stone’s magnificent, sweeping veining right across the room.
