The story
Tired white doors and a dark worktop were making this U-shaped kitchen feel closed-in. The units were sound; the faces and surfaces needed a sharper contrast.
We fitted grey slab doors with a new walnut-effect worktop, matching splashback, and glass hob panel. The warmer wood tone against the grey faces opens the room without changing the footprint.
Side-by-side shots show the contrast clearly: flat white and dark top to grey and walnut. If your U-shape is solid but looks tired, a door-and-surface refresh can change the whole mood.
