Tillingham | The Perfect Blend

Project Year: 2016
Country: United Kingdom
The ceilings in the kitchen are a stunning 2.6m high so the mantel was designed to accentuate the tall ceilings. In order to balance the proportions of the room the fridge/ freezer is housed in an equally tall cupboard.

The brief on this project was to create a timeless kitchen that had classic features and a contemporary colour scheme. The charcoal colour used on the island complements the green/grey tone on the cabinetry whilst the walnut breakfast bar completes the look.

The breakfast bar on the island creates the perfect spot for our clients' son to sit and catch up after a day at school.

The brief of this project asked for classic design features. This coupled with the 2.6m high ceilings in the room made a grand mantel an obvious choice to frame the range cooker. The cupboards and drawers in the mantel surround add extra storage within easy reach of the range top when cooking.

The chopping boards built into the island creates a comfortable food preparation area which is close to the sink - perfect for rinsing fresh produce - whilst only a step away form the range cooker, making it easy to transfer ingredients to and from a dish.

The open plan layout of the room incorporates a dining table at the far end of the space. Our clients were hoping to create a sociable room to enjoy with family. By allowing free movement between the dining table and the kitchen the atmosphere in the room is relaxed and inviting.

Our clients' previous kitchen featured an island but they felt it was too small and dysfunctional. The island in their new kitchen incorporates a breakfast bar and ample food preparation space; creating a multi-functional and comfortable kitchen island.

Adjoined to the kitchen is the utility room which houses the washing machine, tumble dryer and laundry cupboard (out of shot). In order to maintain continuity between spaces, Davonport Tillingham cabinetry is used in both the kitchen and utility room.

Open shelving on the island with a curved rail adds aesthetic interest as well as a useful place to store cookbooks.

In order to utilise the space fully we designed the small drawer in the mantel surround for storage of different flavoured tea bags.

Hand carved chopping boards with bespoke wording slot neatly into the island. Labelling the chopping boards with distinct food groups prevents cross contamination during food preparation.
