Project

This kitchen transformation takes place in a charming 1930s home, part of a full renovation with a new extension.

Inspired by their travels to Japan and Scandinavia, the homeowners sought a space that combined warmth, simplicity, and practicality—perfect for their bustling household with two dogs and three children. The result is a minimalist yet inviting kitchen that feels calm and serene.

At the centre of the design is a bespoke slatted oak island, crafted as a stunning focal point. This custom piece adds natural warmth and texture to the room, creating a welcoming and practical gathering space for the family.

The cabinetry, chosen from our Fusion range, features clean, simple slab fronts with an in-frame design. The main units are painted in Little Greene’s Lamp Black, creating a striking contrast with the natural wood tones of the island. This thoughtful combination introduces depth and balance, blending modern style with organic elements to reflect the homeowners’ love of natural materials.

Above the island, two open-weave rattan pendants bring subtle character to the space. By day, they diffuse natural light to keep the room bright and airy; at night, their intricate patterns create a cosy, layered atmosphere.

This project highlights how considered design choices can elevate a kitchen into a functional, beautiful space that perfectly suits the needs and style of its owners.
