Brown Kitchen with Composite Countertops and All Types of Island Ideas and Designs

Hackney House Extension is a calm retreat in the heart of Hackney, London. Following the global pandemic, Magri Williams were appointed as architect and interior designer to produce a full width rear extension and whole house refurbishment. The project creates an open plan living space for a family to come together. In a world recovering from Covid, the client’s sought an extension that felt restorative and the proposal looked towards nature to achieve this.

Located within a stunning home extension in Stadhampton, this beautifully designed kitchen perfectly balances elegance and practicality. Crafted by our talented designer Jon, this space features solid wood Aldana Shaker doors in a bold two-tone combination of Graphite and Antique Pink. The cabinetry is paired with warm solid oak drawer boxes and finished with timeless brass hardware, creating a striking yet cohesive look. Tuscany White Quartz worktops add a layer of lightness and luxury, beautifully offsetting the deeper cabinetry tones. At the heart of the kitchen, a multifunctional island offers ample storage, a NEFF downdraft venting induction hob, an ESS wine cooler, and a welcoming breakfast bar for relaxed dining and entertaining. Premium appliances were carefully selected to match the quality and aesthetic of the space, including state-of-the-art Siemens ovens for reliable, everyday use. For the sink area, a Blanco sink is paired with a Pro3 Flex Stainless Steel Quooker Tap, offering both style and convenience. This kitchen has already made quite an impression, and our clients were so pleased with the result that they recommended Jon to friends, one of whom is now planning their own dream kitchen with us. Even the family cat has found its favourite sun-soaked spot beside the island! Ready to bring your dream kitchen to life? Let’s chat.

This bespoke London kitchen combines modern elegance with everyday functionality.

Natural light floods the space through a skylight and large sliding doors, making the kitchen bright and inviting, perfect for both family living and entertaining.
