Simon Taylor Furniture was commissioned to undertake the full refurbishment of an existing kitchen space in a Victorian railway cottage in a small village, near Aylesbury. The clients were seeking a light, bright traditional Shaker kitchen that would include plenty of storage and seating for two people. In addition to removing the old kitchen, they also laid a new floor using 60 x60cm floor tiles in Lakestone Ivory Matt by Minoli, prior to installing the new kitchen. All cabinetry was handmade at the Simon Taylor Furniture cabinet workshop in Bierton, near Aylesbury, and it was handpainted in Skimming Stone by Farrow & Ball. The Shaker design includes cot bead frames with Ovolo bead moulding on the inner edge of each door, with tongue and groove panelling in the peninsula recess and as end panels to add contrast. Above the tall cabinetry and overhead cupboards is the Simon Taylor Furniture classic cornice to the ceiling. All internal carcases and dovetail drawer boxes are made of oak, with open shelving in oak as an accent detail. The white window pelmets feature the same Ovolo design with LED lighting at the base, and were also handmade at the workshop. The worktops and upstands, featured throughout the kitchen, are made from 20mm thick quartz with a double pencil edge in Vicenza by CRL Stone. The working kitchen area was designed in an L-shape with a wet run beneath the main feature window and the cooking run against an internal wall. The wet run includes base cabinets for bins and utility items in addition to a 60cm integrated dishwasher by Siemens with deep drawers to one side. At the centre is a farmhouse sink by Villeroy & Boch with a dual lever mixer tap by Perrin & Rowe. The overhead cabinetry for the cooking run includes three storage cupboards and a housing for a 45cm built-in Microwave by Siemens. The base cabinetry beneath includes two sets of soft-opening cutlery and storage drawers on either side of a Britannia range cooker that the clients already owned. Above the glass splashback is a concealed canopy hood, also by Siemens. Intersecting the 16sq. metre space is a stylish curved peninsula with a tongue and grooved recess beneath the worktop that has space for two counter stools, a feature that was integral to the initial brief. At the curved end of the peninsula is a double-door crockery cabinet and on the wall above it are open shelves in oak, inset with LED downlights, next to a tall white radiator by Zehnder. To the left of the peninsula is an integrated French Door fridge freezer by Fisher & Paykel on either side of two tall shallow cabinets, which are installed into a former doorway to a utility room, which now has a new doorway next to it. The cabinetry door fronts feature a broken façade to add further detail to this Shaker kitchen. Directly opposite the fridge freezer, the corner space next to doors that lead to the formal dining room now has a tall pantry larder with oak internal shelving and spice racks inside the double doors. All cup handles and ball knobs are by Hafele.

In this kitchen in South Woodford we took inspiration from the handle design and built it into the Bianco Eclipsia worktop waterfall edge detail.

Situated just south of Kensington Palace and Gardens (one of the most prestigious locations in London), we find this lovely slim U-shaped kitchen full of style and beauty. Smaller in size but the sleek lines are still evident in this project within the tall cornices and external skirting. We loved working in this stately Victorian building! Our client’s luxury bespoke kitchen journey began with a visit to The Handmade Kitchen Co showroom. The couple were able to see the exquisite quality of our furniture for themselves which would provide them with a unique and personal space that would be loved for many years to come. Our client wanted to showcase their impeccably good taste and opted for our Traditional Raised shaker. It has been highlighted with a black paint hand-painted onto the cabinets known as Black Beauty by Benjamin Moore. It’s a rich shade of black with a hint of warmth. Versatile and sophisticated, black is a colour that can enhance any style of home, whether cosy or chic, soft or bold. Incorporating black paint, whether subtly or boldly, can make a significant impact on interior design. This kitchen isn’t just a culinary experience but is designed to make memories with loved ones in the space they call the heart of the home. Enhancing the cooking journey is the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 110cm Dual Fuel Range Cooking in Black & Brass Trim which has been put alongside the cutting-edge Westin Prime extractor. Having a clear direction of how our clients wanted their kitchen style, they opted for a Nivito Brass sink, Quooker PRO3 Fusion Round Tap in Gold & Quooker Cube and a Quooker Soak Dispenser in Gold. All three items instantly add grandeur to the space, while maintaining a balanced and understated presence. To offset the boldness of the Black Beauty cabinetry, the Calacatta Viola Marble Honed worktops provide a striking contrast with their pristine polished finish. This juxtaposition creates a visually captivating and inviting kitchen space. The intricate features make up the kitchen design and the ones in this space are the decorative cornices and the Armac Martin ‘Bakes’ cabinet handles in burnished brass. Throughout this London townhouse, there was beautiful scribing in each room. Our client wanted it to flow nicely throughout the whole property and added it to the rooms we designed – the kitchen and bedroom. Adding to the theme and grandeur of the building, these decorative cornices look beautiful amongst the high ceilings.

A black Quooker tap and appliances from Siemen's Studioline range reinforce the luxurious and sleek design.

This kitchen was designed for clients that live in a five-bedroom 20th Century timber-cladded country house, a style that is particular to properties in Hampshire. Wanting to keep with the organic timber theme within the home, their brief for was for a pale wood in frame Scandi-style kitchen. Located in a long rectangular room at the rear of the house, the kitchen has panelled doors leading directly to the garden. This room benefits from having dark oak-framed leaded windows so it was agreed that black accents would be incorporated within the design to complement this feature, except for the worktops which are off-white to maintain a light and airy feel to space. The clients chose to appoint Searle & Taylor because the company specialises in Scandi Bespoke kitchens and, together with two displays in its Winchester showroom, there are numerous images of Scandi and Modern Bespoke kitchens on its website. In addition to the kitchen, they also commissioned a utility room and a home bar for the rooms adjacent to the kitchen, and a separate corner bar in an outhouse which is used as a games room. The 6.4m x 4.4m kitchen was designed by Searle & Taylor’s owner, Darren Taylor. He suggested using blond oak for the in frame cabinetry, which includes blond oak veneered carcases and a mix of 30mm thick panelled door fronts or vertical slatted blond oak veneered door fronts, and end panels, set within 8mm cock bead frames. The same materials are repeated on the fronts of the solid oak dovetailed drawer boxes. There is one long run of cabinetry to the left-hand side of the room, and to the right is a run of tall cabinetry set within a recessed area. Beyond the recess is a short run of shallow base cabinets. At the centre of the room is a 3.2 metre x 1.4 metre island. The left-hand cabinetry run features a tall cabinet that houses a stainless steel Vario 400 single pyrolytic oven at the centre, with a combination microwave above and a 29cm warming drawer beneath, all by Gaggenau. A top box sits above the bank of ovens and a tray drawer is underneath. Next to this is one of two breakfront dresser cabinets on either side of the sink run. Mounted on the 30mm thick Lucern Lake quartz worktop, with a set of three drawers beneath, these double door dressers feature fluted glass door fronts with painted surrounds and black butt hinges with internal LED lighting. The sink run sits in front of the leaded feature window, with a black Quooker Flex PRO3 Tap with Cube function above a Villeroy & Boch Farmhouse 80 ceramic double Sink. Within base cabinetry are pull-out bins alongside one of two integrated 60cm dishwashers by Miele that flank a shallow depth cabinet directly beneath the sink. The tall cabinetry within the recess on the right-hand side of the room features blond oak panelled door fronts in two double-door configurations with long black vertical handles. The left-hand double doors open to a fully integrated larder fridge and an integrated tall freezer with icemaker, both by Gaggenau. The right-hand set of double doors open to a double pantry cabinet with bottle racks and integrated shelving. On the task side of the island are cutlery and storage drawers on either side of two deep pan drawers at the centre, all with long black handles that are horizontally placed. There is a 3.2 metre worktop on the island with an L-shaped extended overhang at one end to accommodate a seating space for four counter stools. Flush mounted within the worktop is a Novy Panorama Pro 120, a 120cm five-zone vented downdraft induction hob with a concealed ventilation tower set at the back of the hob’s surface. When in use, the tinted glass tower rises by up to 30cm to quietly extract cooking vapours. It then retracts back into the surface when cooking has ended. Because no overhead extraction is needed, there are three decorative pendant lights above the island instead Beyond the tall cooling run is a further run of shallow-depth cabinetry to house items used for entertaining, with a shelf made from the same worktop material for decorative items. In the adjacent dining room is the home bar, designed with matching dresser cabinets with black-framed fluted glass fronts to mirror those in the kitchen. The upper section of the bar features two fluted glass decorative doors with painted surrounds on either side of antique mirrored glass open shelving with a 30mm thick Lucern Lake quartz worktop above two further enclosed cabinets with a Liebherr wine cabinet at the centre.

This view highlights the kitchen's open-plan layout, with the central island providing both preparation space and informal seating. Beyond the island, a dedicated seating area has been positioned to take advantage of the garden views, creating a more relaxed space within the room. The vaulted ceiling and exposed structure add to the sense of volume, while layered lighting - including pendant lights, wall lights, table lamps and integrated architectural lighting - allows the atmosphere to be adjusted throughout the day and into the evening. The combination of natural materials, painted cabinetry and varied lighting sources contributes to a warm and functional family space.
