A New Day - Interior Design StudioBespoke kitchen design - pill shaped fluted island with ink blue wall cabinetry. Zellige tiles clad the shelves and chimney breast, paired with patterned encaustic floor tiles.
H. Miller BrosOur design process is set up to tease out what is unique about a project and a client so that we can create something peculiar to them. When we first went to see this client, we noticed that they used their fridge as a kind of notice board to put up pictures by the kids, reminders, lists, cards etc… with magnets onto the metal face of the old fridge. In their new kitchen they wanted integrated appliances and for things to be neat, but we felt these drawings and cards needed a place to be celebrated and we proposed a cork panel integrated into the cabinet fronts… the idea developed into a full band of cork, stained black to match the black front of the oven, to bind design together. It also acts as a bit of a sound absorber (important when you have 3yr old twins!) and sits over the splash back so that there is a lot of space to curate an evolving backdrop of things you might pin to it.
In this design, we wanted to design the island as big table in the middle of the room. The thing about thinking of an island like a piece of furniture in this way is that it allows light and views through and around; it all helps the island feel more delicate and elegant… and the room less taken up by island. The frame is made from solid oak and we stained it black to balance the composition with the stained cork.
The sink run is a set of floating drawers that project from the wall and the flooring continues under them - this is important because again, it makes the room feel more spacious. The full height cabinets are purposefully a calm, matt off white. We used Farrow and Ball ’School house white’… because its our favourite ‘white’ of course! All of the whitegoods are integrated into this full height run: oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and a gigantic pantry cupboard.
A sweet detail is the hand turned cabinet door knobs - The clients are music lovers and the knobs are enlarged versions of the volume knob from a 1970s record player.

Davonport Kitchen & HomeFrom the moment the Browns first visited the dilapidated Victorian vicarage they fell in love with its potential. Having been unoccupied for over a decade, the five-bedroom detached property in Essex was inhabitable. However, with its original period features all still intact, the scale and proportions of the building provided the perfect opportunity to create a unique family home.
The original kitchen was in a part of the Vicarage that was only single skinned (wall thickness), therefore, to comply with modern building standards the room needed to be rebuilt. This provided the couple with the opportunity to increase the space available to accommodate a spacious kitchen-diner.
To complement the Victorian heritage of the property the kitchen furniture was designed in Davonport’s classic Tillingham shaker-style cabinetry and hand-painted in Farrow and Ball’s Hague Blue with striking bronze elements.
A selection of luxury appliances from Sub-zero Wolf, Miele, and Quooker were chosen by the Browns to suit their lifestyle – they especially missed the ease of a hot water tap whilst living in rented accommodation when they were renovating!
TulipThis is an example of an expansive traditional grey and purple u-shaped kitchen/diner in Surrey with a built-in sink, all styles of cabinet, grey cabinets, marble worktops, multi-coloured splashback, mosaic tiled splashback, integrated appliances, porcelain flooring, an island, grey floors, purple worktops and a chimney breast.
Chalkhouse KitchensWith plans all ready to update their Edwardian property in the centre of Cardiff, unexpectedly our clients found the house of their dreams for sale in the Vale and knew straight away it was an opportunity not to miss. The large house had been previously renovated in a very modern, open plan style which meant the generous, classic proportions of the formal rooms had been lost. The new owners were keen to bring a more traditional beauty back to the house, taking out the very modern fittings in the bathrooms and replacing in a more sympathetic style, changing the layout both upstairs and down to create rooms with a more balanced feel that suited the age of the property. The kitchen was moved into the former dining room which looks directly over the beautiful private garden that has fabulous distant sea views, a light filled space for a family who spend a lot of their time together cooking and entertaining. Opening up an existing chimney breast for the range cooker, adding in a traditionally styled window for light over the double Belfast sink and opening up the wall into the adjacent day/dining room created the large kitchen living space filled with light they had been looking for. The pale, pretty F&B Light Blue colour on all the kitchen furniture adds to the peaceful sense of calm in the room, picked up in the adjacent dining room for continuity. Quartz in a soft marble colour provides an easy clean surface around the sink whilst solid oak worktops on the island add warmth and pick up the colour of the stripped floorboards. With a double width food larder and a matching breakfront larder for appliances at either end of the sink run, the symmetry allows for brass wall lights either side of the window, casting a soft glow over the room and matched with the aged brass handles used throughout. A new induction hob on the island opposite the range cooker allows the couple to cook together, with seating on the island for family and friends to gather together for meals and coffee. The American fridge freezer is tucked behind the dividing wall with a bespoke tall unit alongside for the microwave, open shelving for books and the essential place for keys, letters and the day to day bits and pieces of family life. Prepping meals and cooking on the island, with views over their lovely garden has been a highlight of their first summer in their new home.
Idesign Interiors (SW) LtdA traditional solid ash kitchen painted in Farrow & Ball's Lichen green, perfect for this beautiful Arts & Craft style house.
The original kitchen at the back of the house was small and unappealing so the clients desired that the kitchen be recited to the front of the house in a rarely use reception room.
Idesign designed and completed the project in the summer of 2021.
Handmade Kitchen CoEscape to the country with us and check out our latest In-Frame Shaker that has been added to the portfolio.
Nestled in a lovely location just north of Chelmsford, this country home was destined for a bespoke handmade kitchen at its heart. Working with our clients and the existing space, we produced a design that would marry the earthy tones, large windows and beautiful sunlight.
The real emphasis was put not only on the practicality of the kitchen layout but the symmetry, clean lines and flow of the design. It has made the family use their kitchen different from their previous one, as cabinetry has been intelligently designed so that primary tasks can be carried out efficiently between the sink area, oven and refrigerator. Each of the working zones has helped the space flow and function naturally, enabling the family to perform daily tasks with ease.
Bringing you Neff’s latest design, to this country kitchen in its own housing. Our client wanted something new and enticing to add to their kitchen design and opted for the new colourway, Graphite by Neff. The brief was to choose appliances that would be the latest trend but also a convenient way of cooking and of course looked good!
Although the kitchen has been designed to suit a country vibe, it has a wonderful array of modern features including a Quooker Flex tap in a chrome finish – a handy, flexible pull-out hose, that dispenses 100°C boiling, hot and cold water.
Tom HowleyStool seating was a detail that the family were particularly keen to incorporate. Configured to wrap around the end of the island, it not only softened the space but was a convenient way to increase the amount of seating, creating a truly social cooking environment.
Ivywell Interiors | BristolThis open-plan kitchen diner is the hub of the house. We kept the country Cotswolds feel but incorporated some contemporary elements to update the decor, playing with the colours that the owner particularly loves, blue and green. The large round table fits up to 10 people, ideal for large diner parties from day time to evening.

Kettle Co. KitchensIt was a real pleasure to install this solid ash kitchen in this incredible living space. Not only do the wooden beams create a natural symmetry to the room but they also provide a rustic country feel.
We used solid ash kitchen doors from our Mornington range painted in Dove grey. Firstly, we felt this was the perfect colour to let the natural wooden features shine through. Secondly, it created a more open feel to the whole living space.
Oak worktops and bespoke shelving above the range cooker blend seamlessly with the exposed wooden beams. They bring the whole living space together in a seamless way and create a truly unique kitchen.

Handmade Kitchen CoKeeping the property’s original and distinctive features in the beautiful Essex countryside, the kitchen stands at the centre of the home where the function is met with a warm and inviting charm that blends seamlessly with its surroundings.
Our clients had set their minds on creating an awe-inspiring challenge of breathing new life into their historic property, where this extensive restoration project would soon include a stunning Handmade Kitchen Company classic English kitchen at its heart. They wanted something that would take them on culinary adventures and allow them to host lively gatherings.
After looking through our portfolio of projects, our clients found one particular kitchen they wanted to make happen in their home, so we copied elements of the design but made it their own. This is our Classic Shaker with a cock beaded front frame with mouldings.
The past was certainly preserved and to this day, the focus remains on achieving a delicate balance that pays homage to the past while incorporating contemporary sensibilities to transform it into a forever family home.
A larger, more open family space was created which enabled the client to tailor the whole room to their requirements. The colour choices throughout the whole project were a combination of Slaked Lime Deep No.150 and Basalt No.221, both from Little Greene.
Due to the space, an L-shaped layout was designed, with a kitchen that was practical and built with zones for cooking and entertaining. The strategic positioning of the kitchen island brings the entire space together. It was carefully planned with size and positioning in mind and had adequate space around it. On the end of the island is a bespoke pedestal table that offers comfy circle seating.
No classic English country kitchen is complete without a Shaws of Darwen Sink. Representing enduring quality and a tribute to the shaker kitchen’s heritage, this iconic handcrafted fireclay sink is strategically placed beneath one of the beautiful windows. It not only enhances the kitchen’s charm but also provides practicality, complemented by an aged brass Perrin & Rowe Ionian lever handle tap and a Quooker Classic Fusion in patinated brass.
This handcrafted drinks dresser features seamless organisation where it balances practicality with an enhanced visual appeal. It bridges the dining and cooking space, promoting inclusivity and togetherness.
Tapping into the heritage of a pantry, this walk-in larder we created for our client is impressive and matches the kitchen’s design. It certainly elevates the kitchen experience with bespoke artisan shelves and open drawers. What else has been added to the space, is a Liebherr side-by-side built-in fridge freezer and a Liebherr full-height integrated wine cooler in black.
We believe every corner in your home deserves the touch of exquisite craftsmanship and that is why we design utility rooms that beautifully coexist with the kitchen and accommodate the family’s everyday functions.
Continuing the beautiful walnut look, the backdrop and shelves of this delightful media wall unit make it a truly individual look. We hand-painted the whole unit in Little Greene Slaked Lime Deep.
Connecting each area is this full-stave black American walnut dining table with a 38mm top. The curated details evoke a sense of history and heritage. With it being a great size, it offers the perfect place for our clients to hold gatherings and special occasions with the ones they love the most.
