A Regency London townhouse with original features, high ceilings and more character than seems fair, this deVOL showroom in historic St. John’s Square, Clerkenwell is a special place and needed to be decorated and styled with care. The Sebastian Cox cupboards in all their cool rustic glory took up the challenge beautifully and the room became a glamorous and glittering kitchen with real credibility and a suitable style to work within a period property.

We decided to introduce a new tint that would work well with the existing colours in the house, so taking the Clerkenwell Blue from our Real Shaker range we tried it and it looked just the part, so a new colour was born. We have used copper worktops in our Sebastian Cox Kitchens many times before and know they look great so we went for a full-length copper worktop with seamlessly integrated copper sink, creating a full run of matt coloured copper with a beautifully aged patina, a little bit of sparkle but nothing too brash. This copper is also continued on the back walls in between the heavily moulded windows to create a practical and bold splashback.
