Yin & Yang in East Molesey
Yin & Yang – a balance for life.
Our clients wanted a sleek kitchen with a touch of drama, yet serene and with plenty of storage. They came back to us after we had designed and installed an ensuite and family bathroom at their home in East Molesey.
Our clients had a dated kitchen that offered plenty of storage, but felt shoehorned into the space. The area didn’t flow with the breakfast table in the middle of the working kitchen space. Our clients liked the idea of a handless design with modern tones and textures. Their brief, was to get away from the old style kitchen.
We restructured the layout to create a much more linear design, opening up the space and creating a breakfast bar that flowed with the rest of the kitchen. We added drama with the Yin & Yang combination of white and black units.
By using Venis Tanzania wood effect tiles by Porcelanosa for the feature wall, and contrasting this with smooth cabinets. The room offers different textures. This is enhanced by the concrete effect porcelain worktop, which allows for a super sleek look at only 10mm thick. It is also incredibly durable and resistant to heat and moisture.
To bring more light into the space, we removed the overhanging pelmet in front of the window, allowing light to flood into the room. This reflects off the mirrored splashback opposite the window.
The utility room positioned behind the kitchen, now has a designated wine fridge. Plus plenty of storage for laundry and cleaning items.

We had waited patiently for Bathroom Eleven to begin kitchen renovations (add kitchens to their portfolio). Our beautiful, contemporary, “yin-yang” kitchen was designed by Adam.
The Bathroom Eleven team carried out the building work meticulously. This involved renewing the floor, walls, ceiling, pipe work and electric cables. The installation of the kitchen units and appliances was carried out with care and precision.
The transformation is amazing, with a wow factor. We are very pleased with our new kitchen and the outstanding after care service from Ben.
We removed a heavily structured ‘pelmet’ that hung approximately a foot lower than the window. Removing this allowed light to flood into the room and bounce off the mirrored splashback on the other side of the room.
The sleek concret effect porcelain worktop, is durable and stylish. With integrated draining channels it allows for a seamless look. The Quooker tap omits the need for a kettle with its boiling water function, while also offering chilled and sparkling water too!
The Bora hob has an integrated extractor fan. Drawing off odours and grease particles. Giving a proven 100% clean rate at head height. By having the extractor fan at cooking level, there is no need for a large extractor hood overhead. Enhancing the sleek look of this kitchen design.
