For the kitchen we designed bespoke cabinetry to fit the galley style and maximise the use of space to best effect. Love the soft blue colour and clean lines of the shaker style cabinetry, paired with warming brass fittings and lighting. The original fireplace provides a pretty decorative feature, with attractive shelving above. Photographer: Nick Smith

This previously old and dated kitchen was given a major overhaul to open up the room whilst providing a more user friendly bench space area that can now be accessed from all sides. The updated modern art deco kitchen is the perfect mix of old and new with a feature freestanding stove and butlers pantry. The client wanted a modern Shaker look, something that was daring, hence the black cabinets. The client supplied their own floor and splashback tiles and the satin polyurethane shaker doors are in Dulux Vivid White / Black Caviar. A 20mm stone benchtop was installed by Benchmark Stonemasons in Caesarstone White Shimmer. Although the new kitchen is modern, it still maintains a subtle art deco look to suit the classic style of the rest of the home.

We wanted to design a kitchen that would be sympathetic to the original features of our client's Georgian townhouse while at the same time function as the focal point for a busy household. The brief was to design a light, unfussy and elegant kitchen to lessen the effects of the slightly low-ceilinged room. Jack Trench Ltd responded to this by designing a hand-painted kitchen with echoes of an 18th century Georgian farmhouse using a light Oak and finishing with a palette of heritage yellow. The large oak-topped island features deep drawers and hand-turned knobs. Photography by Richard Brine

A beautiful bespoke indoor kitchen that links effortlessly to the outdoors.

Stunning Black Beauty Sensa stone helps to link the spaces with a full height upstand and work surface. This has been coupled with Silestone Eternal Staturio on the waterfall kitchen island in a matt finish. Matt black handleless kitchen cabinetry, a black Quooker tap, black Blanco undermount sink and appliances from Miele complete this super stylish and sophisticated kitchen in Lewisham.

A small kitchen designed around the oak beams, resulting in a space conscious design. All units were painted & with a stone work surface. The Acorn door handles were designed specially for this clients kitchen. In the corner a curved bench was attached onto the wall creating additional seating around a circular table. The large wall pantry with bi-fold doors creates a fantastic workstation & storage area for food & appliances. The small island adds an extra work surface and has storage space.
