Family Living Elevated With Calacatta Goldlight Quartz

In the peaceful village of Bishop Monkton, the Robinsons transformed their 1970s home with a bold renovation that turned a dark, compartmentalised kitchen into a light-filled, open-plan hub. By removing dividing walls and installing a structural RSJ, they created a seamless space that connects cooking, dining, and family life.

At the centre sits a generous island - not just for meal prep, but for conversation, crafting, and casual dining. This multifunctional heart of the home is elevated by the Minerox Calacatta Goldlight quartz worktop, whose sweeping golden veins and polished finish bring instant elegance and durability. With a striking waterfall edge, full-height splashback, and window cill in matching quartz, the material flows throughout the space, creating cohesion and luxury.

Warm wood cabinetry and copper accents add tactile richness, while mushroom-coloured units provide a calm, understated backdrop. Layered lighting enhances the quartz surfaces, ensuring they glow with sophistication throughout the day. Clever storage solutions and integrated appliances keep the kitchen clutter-free and practical, perfectly balancing beauty with function.

The result is more than a renovation - it’s a reimagining of family life. With Calacatta Goldlight as its defining feature, the Robinsons’ new kitchen is elegant, social, and ready to welcome a new generation.
