A spacious kitchen designed for a beautiful, new build. The bold, matte orange cabinets and dark grey worktop contrast against the white, clean walls. Making this kitchen stand out from the rest of the room. All storage solutions have been carefully planned and most of the storage is hidden behind doors adding to the spacious feeling of this stunning kitchen.

As is always the case, we design kitchens in a way where they are as practical as possible. We worked in order to ascertain how our clients would use their space, and ensured we designed their kitchen in a way which was natural their ways of cooking and entertaining. A variety of storage solutions were used to make this possible.

Our clients wanted a fresh approach to make their compact kitchen work better for them. They also wanted it to integrate well with their dining space alongside, creating a better flow between the two rooms and the access from the hallway. On a small footprint, the original kitchen layout didn’t make the most of the available space. Our clients desperately wanted more storage as well as more worktop space. We designed a new kitchen space for our clients, which made use of the footprint they had, as well as improving the functionality. By changing the doorway into the room, we changed the flow through the kitchen and dining spaces and created a deep alcove on the righthand-side of the dining room chimney breast. Freeing up this alcove was a massive space gain, allowing us to increase kitchen storage. We designed a full height storage unit to match the existing cupboards on the other wide of the chimney breast. This new, super deep cupboard space is almost 80cm deep. We divided the internal space between cupboard space above and four considerable drawer pull-outs below. Each drawer holds up to 70kg of contents and pulls right out to give our clients an instant overview of their dry goods and supplies – a fantastic kitchen larder. We painted the new full height cupboard to match and gave them both new matching oak knob handles. The old kitchen had two shorter worktop runs and there was a freestanding cupboard in the space between the cooking and dining zones. We created a compact kitchen peninsula to replace the freestanding unit and united it with the sink run, creating a slim worktop run between the two. This adds to the flow of the kitchen, making the space more of a defined u-shaped kitchen. By adding this new stretch of kitchen worktop to the design, we could include even more kitchen storage. The new kitchen incorporates shallow storage between the peninsula and the sink run. We built in open shelving at a low level and a useful mug and tea cupboard at eye level. We made all the kitchen cabinets from our special eco board, which is produced from 100% recycled timber. The flat panel doors add to the sleek, unfussy style. The light colour cabinetry lends the kitchen a feeling of light and space. The kitchen worktops and upstands are made from recycled paper – created from many, many layers of recycled paper, set in resin to bond it. A really unique material, it is incredibly tactile and develops a lovely patina over time. The pale-coloured kitchen cabinetry is paired with “barely there” toughened glass elements which all help to give the kitchen area a feeling of light and space. The subtle glass splashback behind the hob reflects light into the room as well as protecting the wall surface. The window sills are all made to match and also bounce natural light into the room. The new kitchen is a lovely new functional space which flows well and is integrated with the dining space alongside.

One of Wendy's main wishes on the brief was a large pantry.

Sleek, stylish and minimalist clean lines all come to mind within the walls of this light and airy Victorian conversion. The kitchen sports stainless steel shark nosed worktops, two-tone grey matt lacquer units and contrasting oak shelving. The two-tiered worktop juxtaposes a steel surface with a white quartz breakfast bar at a 90 degree angle. The teal blue leather banquette, funky carpet cushions, splashy artwork and industrial vibe pendant lights give an edgy feel to the minimalist kitchen. The larder unit features pivot and slide pocket doors. Aside from the kitchen we supplied bespoke bench seating and shoe storage to the hall, contemporary floating alcove cupboards, bespoke glass fire doors and cabinetry throughout the bedrooms. Hogarth House has been given real personality in a sophisticatedly pared-back manner.

The existing kitchen had ceiling mounted spotlights and the client was keen for the new kitchen to be well lit. We used LED striplights which were discreet but ceiling mounted across some of the beams and under the cabinets to create a good wash of light over the whole space.

Modern living and busy family life has resulted in the kitchen increasingly becoming the favourite room in the home. It can be a relaxing and informal place where recreation and work go hand in hand. A sunny cheerful kitchen is everyone’s ideal, and a kitchen conservatory provides just that. It will be used at all times of the day by all members of the family for a wide range of purposes. Folding doors open the conservatory onto the garden. This project shows how a contemporary feel can be achieved whilst adding a traditional timber and glazed extension. Brick piers and solid walls add to both design and functionality of the room. Vale Paint Colour - Tempest Size- 6.0M X 7.8M

Sustainable Kitchens - A Traditional Country Kitchen. 17th Century Grade II listed barn conversion with oak worktops and cabinets painted in Farrow & Ball Tallow. The cabinets have traditional beading and mouldings. The 300 year old exposed brick and Belfast farmhouse sink help maintain the traditional style. The oak window frame was made bespoke.

The mantel surround provides ample storage, with every square inch designed to have a practical use. These walnut drawers provide a useful place to store oils, vinegars etc. within easy reach of the range. As seen in another image, the gap between these drawers and the edge of the cabinet is used to store dried herbs and spices, accessible via a door on the side.
