Project

Louise and her project manager, Andrea, visited our showroom to make the final decisions for the new kitchen. After two years in the house, Louise knew what she wanted to change, and with plans for an extension underway, we moved ahead with a new design.

The kitchen now has our Shaker cabinetry, painted in Little Greene Boringdon Green, with polished brass hinges and Amerock Crawford handles in Golden Champagne. Silestone Calacatta Gold replaces the original dark granite, brightening the room alongside a new window. A large island sits in the centre, and a tall open bookcase finishes one end of the run. We designed and made bespoke open shelving, fitted with Corston Kilburn brackets in antique brass, and added a timber pillar detail to the island.

The same cabinetry and finishes continue into the laundry, with more bespoke open shelves for baskets and garden pots, and a built-in dog bed. A structural steel and a waste pipe had to stay in place, so we designed the joinery to conceal them, leaving the space tidy and uninterrupted.

Since the kitchen was finished, the family spends more time here, especially in summer when the doors are open to the terrace. Louise’s advice is to live in a house first, watch how the light moves through each room, and let that guide the design.
