Neil Morris - The Design Distinctive

This Mud Room, Pantry and Kitchen lead the way with its highly functional design!

Think - slipping your shoes off as you walk in, popping the shopping bags on the bench top, and an easy unload into the pantry. Plus the wide, open walkway between it all makes it 100x easier to navigate without destroying doors and walls (or your shopping) along the way!

Have a smaller block, but desperate for that fourth bedroom when Nan and Pop come to stay? Are you yet to find someone to design a plan where that fourth bedroom fits a full sized queen bed?
