One big family feast: an affordable combined kitchen and dining space

Take simple storage, flexible dining furniture and astonishingly low prices. Stir well to mix, and you have the makings of this multigenerational family’s combined kitchen and dining space. Finished off with a sunny window bench, music corner and the aromas of something scrumptious bubbling away, it’s a space where this family finds themselves lingering... long after the plates are cleared.

Sharing meals, making memories

It feels like a shame to call this the dining table when its job description covers so much more. For this multigenerational family of foodies, it’s more like the central meeting point; the one place in the house where all paths are sure to cross. From connecting over coffee in the morning, to debating the day’s events at dinnertime or celebrating life’s big milestones on special occasions, it all happens here.

Extra seats, extra storage

When every chair has been filled, and every inch of tabletop occupied, it’s time to call in for backup. Stackable stools take up almost no space in the corner of the room – stepping in from the sidelines when the next festive occasion arises. Meanwhile, a multilevel trolley holds all the extra condiments and cutlery, so that all those “hey, can you pass the –” requests go around the table, not over.

The beating heart of a food-centric home

You’d be hard-pressed to find bare countertops – or an empty sink – in this always-on kitchen, where pans simmer and pots bubble night and day. Eating is the reward but the cooking is just as fun!

Reach, grab, cook

Pots, blenders, bakeware and other utensils are packed away in the kitchen drawers, leaving the walls and worktops free for this kitchen’s regular go-tos.

In between meals

Tonight’s dinner may be yet to materialise, but that doesn’t matter. As always, the dining area is a flurry of activity. The two tables pushed together can also be pulled apart when needed, creating more flexibility for everything from homework to railway construction!

Big gatherings on a budget

Say you’re a foodie without saying you’re a foodie

Drawers full of fresh ingredients, shelves loaded with dinnerware, and a wall-mounted cabinet bringing those supper-time tunes. There's absolutely no doubt that this family takes food and being together seriously!

Hello, sunshine

Nothing is wasted in this kitchen. Not food, not space, nor any of the glorious, golden sunlight that comes flooding into the space each afternoon. Glass shelves across the windows create a sunny home for herbs to grow, while the cushioned bench offers a sun-drenched seat to whoever wants to keep the chef company.
