Tomato red drop-leaf island cart

A rolling kitchen island in satin tomato red under a 40mm hard maple butcher block, with three drawers, an open shelf for the mixing bowls and a towel rail. Its 380mm drop leaf folds down flat against the end, so it parks in 960mm of floor and opens to a 1340mm prep counter or a breakfast bar for two; the braked castors take it wherever the cooking is.

• Charcoal home bar A charcoal home bar wall with glass-fronted cabinets for the glassware, each shelf lit by a warm LED strip. Open bottle shelves glow in the middle over a drawer bank for the bar tools. Shaker cupboards below have brass bar pulls, under a cove crown.
• Claret china hutch A freestanding china hutch in deep claret red: glass-fronted cabinets lit inside from top to bottom, standing back on a deeper base of Shaker cupboards and a bank of silverware drawers, under a cove crown with brass knobs and cup pulls.
• Cutting board with a slide-out scrap tray A raised maple chopping board, 460 x 340mm, standing on two long skirts, with a walnut-fronted tray that slides out from under the open end. Push peelings and trimmings off the edge straight into the tray instead of chasing them across the counter, then carry the tray to the compost; it slides back under the board, so the whole set takes no more counter than the board alone.
