We designed this cosy grey family kitchen with reclaimed timber and elegant brass finishes, to work better with our clients’ style of living. We created this new space by knocking down an internal wall, to greatly improve the flow between the two rooms. Our clients came to us with the vision of creating a better functioning kitchen with more storage for their growing family. We were challenged to design a more cost-effective space after the clients received some architectural plans which they thought were unnecessary. Storage and open space were at the forefront of this design. Previously, this space was two rooms, separated by a wall. We knocked through to open up the kitchen and create a more communal family living area. Additionally, we knocked through into the area under the stairs to make room for an integrated fridge freezer. The kitchen features reclaimed iroko timber throughout. The wood is reclaimed from old school lab benches, with the graffiti sanded away to reveal the beautiful grain underneath. It’s exciting when a kitchen has a story to tell. This unique timber unites the two zones, and is seen in the worktops, homework desk and shelving. Our clients had two growing children and wanted a space for them to sit and do their homework. As a result of the lack of space in the previous room, we designed a homework bench to fit between two bespoke units. Due to lockdown, the clients children had spent most of the year in the dining room completing their school work. They lacked space and had limited storage for the children’s belongings. By creating a homework bench, we gave the family back their dining area, and the units on either side are valuable storage space. Additionally, the clients are now able to help their children with their work whilst cooking at the same time. This is a hugely important benefit of this multi-functional space. The beautiful tiled splashback is the focal point of the kitchen. The combination of the teal and vibrant yellow into the muted colour palette brightens the room and ties together all of the brass accessories. Golden tones combined with the dark timber give the kitchen a cosy ambiance, creating a relaxing family space. The end result is a beautiful new family kitchen-diner. The transformation made by knocking through has been enormous, with the reclaimed timber and elegant brass elements the stars of the kitchen. We hope that it will provide the family with a warm and homely space for many years to come.

With a breathtaking hidden walk-in pantry, this luxury green Tom Howley kitchen is finished with the very best in modern appliances and would be perfect for anyone who is passionate about food. This Hartford shaker kitchen was created for a client who had recently renovated a Grade II-listed farmhouse in Kent. By combining the very best bespoke furniture with premium Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, we created a design that is as perfect for entertaining as it is functional for cooking. The hidden walk-in pantry is cleverly concealed when not in use but incredibly useful when cooking your favourite meal.

The Wexler kitchen employs a mix and match approach to its design with some cabinets in rough sawn oak with a white tinted oiled finish and some smooth painted in Farrow and ball Black Blue. This approach really fitted in with the client's eclectic taste. The reinforced glass panels on the large storage unit is repeated on the wall cabinets on the opposite wall and give an industrial feel along with a cluster of filament bulbs above the island and the large castors on the island unit which is movable. A feature worthy of note is the integrated burner for stir-frying on the island top powered by a propane cylinder, the client kept their original AGA range cooker as well. The installation is brought together by Silestone lagoon worktops and quirky copper handles. Fitted alcove shelves down the other end of the long room, also painted in Blue Black complete this unique and stylish kitchen. Photo: Ian Hampson
