Design ideas for a medium sized classic kitchen/diner in Gloucestershire with an integrated sink, shaker cabinets, beige cabinets, quartz worktops, ceramic splashback, light hardwood flooring and an island.

This beautiful 17th century home with a later Georgian facade is one of Winchester’s finest private homes. The house itself was named after a tree planted in the garden by Charles II. Located in the heart of this historic city, it benefits from a magnificent orangery style kitchen extension which allows greater enjoyment of the Grade II listed brick walled gardens with the cathedral view beyond. Britain’s foremost classical architecture practice, Adam Architecture, was engaged to oversee the renovation project, while the interior designer Max Rollitt was commissioned to re-design the interior spaces, including the kitchen and pantry. Max chose Guild Anderson to take these spaces forward from his original concept through to technical design, making and installation.

These clients aimed to transform their previously dark, moody kitchen into a light and airy space. The new design embraces brightness and openness, using soft tones, natural light, and clever layout choices to create a fresh, uplifting atmosphere that feels spacious, welcoming, and dramatically different from before.

This kitchen, located in Marlow, was designed to create a beautifully calm and welcoming space for one of our trusted contractors. A Häcker systemat handleless kitchen in Taupe UV satin lacquer forms the foundation of the design, paired with a natural fine oak carcass. Silestone Calacatta Gold quartz worktops bring understated luxury to the scheme, complemented by a Schock sink and a Quooker tap. Meanwhile, performance is seamlessly integrated throughout with Siemens and BORA appliances. A standout feature is the bar area with real wood oak veneer and grooved detailing. Complete with a Kaelo flush integrated countertop wine cooler, this space has been thoughtfully designed to support both relaxed evenings and entertaining.

We were commissioned to design and make a bespoke kitchen and a separate dining space with banquette seating for our clients, who were in the process of having a new private home built on the outskirts of Winchester. Following these initial projects, we were then briefed to design and create all the fitted furniture for the pantry, laundry room, boot room, banquette seating for the bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom vanity. We worked closely with our clients who had a distinct vision of the aesthetic they were seeking, so our role was to interpret their requirements to create a beautiful kitchen and dining area, designed with perfect flow and functionality, and perfectly in-keeping with the rest of the space. The entire ground floor is neutrally decorated in Stone 1 by Paint & Paper Library on the walls and ceiling. It has large black steel Crittall windows throughout, with full-height Crittall doors leading to the garden. Matching internal glazed panel doors lead to a separate drawing room, while the rest of the ground floor is dedicated to the open plan kitchen and entertaining area. The hand-laid patterned Ash flooring was chosen during the design process so the dark stain of the vertical grain Oak veneered fronts, and plinth on the island was chosen to complement it. All Antique Brass knobs and handles are by Armac Martin and all Antique Brass wall brackets are by Corston Architectural. These complement the pendant and wall lights by Apparatus Studio and wall lights above the sink run by Blue Print Lighting NYC. There are two main runs of cabinetry which are made using dark stained oak carcases and solid oak shelves. The 22mm thick door and drawer fronts feature 18mm broken ogee bead mouldings and all are handpainted in Stone 2 by Paint & Paper Library. The tall run behind the island runs floor-to-ceiling with a moulded cornice at the top matching the cornicing in the rest of the room. Five storage top boxes run along the length of the cabinetry and are situated above (from left) a tall integrated cabinet for glasses, next to an integrated tall freezer by Gaggenau. At the centre is housing for a bank of Gaggenau Vario 400 cooking appliances consisting of a single oven with a combination microwave above and a 29cm culinary drawer beneath. A reduced height top box and a shallow drawer for racks and trays are above and below. To the right is a tall integrated fridge next to an integrated three-zone wine conditioning cabinet, all by Gaggenau. On the task side, directly in front of the bank of ovens, is a personalised Gaggenau cook centre mounted within the 3.6m x 1.3m island’s 30mm thick Bianco Superiore Honed Quartzite worktop. This comprises a domino gas hob, domino induction hob and domino teppan yaki, separated by two downdraft extractors in-between and all feature rotary controls integrated within cabinetry beneath. The entire hob set is rebated into the worktop providing a completely flush finish. Also on the task side are handleless deep drawers for pots and pans beneath handleless shallow drawers for cutlery and utensils. At one end of the island is a square ceramic undermount sink by Shaws and Quooker Fusion Pro3 Boiling Water Tap with a special finish, which is used for food preparation. The facing side of the island features further handleless cabinets, all with pull-out shelves on soft close runners, together with further shallow storage drawers above them. The long sink run extends beneath a large Crittall window. Undercounter from left is an integrated pull-out fridge by Liebherr next to two pull-out storage drawers and a cabinet for pull-out bins. At the centre is a Shaws Entwistle single bowl sink with an aged brass Perrin & Rowe Ionian Tap. Beneath the farmhouse style sink is a 30mm quartzite sill to accommodate for spils and splashes protecting the painted woodwork of the sink cabinet, a signature addition by Searle & Taylor. To the right of the sink is a 60cm integrated dishwasher by Miele adjacent to further deep and shallow storage drawers. At the end of the run is a specially designed cabinet for two dark oak pull-out trays and two solid dark oak pull-out chopping boards, another signature design by Searle & Taylor. Matching the quartzite worktop is a 30mm splashback and upstand in the same material. In addition, there are four 30mm thick quartzite shelves with with ogee edged moulding, that sit upon the Corston Architectural brackets. To the right of the kitchen area is the dining area within a triple window recess. Built within the bay is a large bespoke banquette seating area made by Searle & Taylor, with piano-hinged lids to provide hidden cushion storage behind the seats. LED lighting runs at the base of the cabinetry to make a feature of the seating at night. On either side of the banquette are alcove cabinets in the same dark oak stained veneer as the kitchen island and kitchen accents. An oval dark oak Miniforms Monoplauto dining table from Go Modern sits at the centre with two further Fritz Harken Series 7 dining chairs from The Conran Shop.

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 warm and inviting space to wake up to, cook your favourite meals and share special times with family and friends. The heart of the home, most definitely in Raven House, a large room overlooking the plush garden. A mix of old and new, incorporating pieces from the families travels, with hints of Mexico, India and Africa, this kitchen is brimming with spice.

This bespoke family kitchen was part of the renovation of a period home in Frome. The ground floor is a half basement and struggled with dark rooms and a layout that did not function well for family life. New windows were added to the adjoining dining room and crisp white finishes and clever lighting have transformed the space. Bespoke cabinets maximised the limited head height and corner space. Designed in a classic shaker style and painted in Hopper by Little Greene with classic burnished brass ironmongery, it is a timeless design.

A perfect blend of elegance and functionality. Step into timeless sophistication with this stunning bespoke kitchen finished in London Stone and Shaded White. The centrepiece?

Featuring: • Antique knurled brass hardware for a touch of classic charm • Patinated brass Quooker tap blending beauty with boiling-water convenience • Integrated Bora and Neff appliances From the wide shaker cabinetry to the warm wood flooring and ambient pendant lighting, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a space that’s both welcoming and wow-worthy.

This dark green kitchen in Wandsworth features a stunning free standing kitchen island in the centre of the light filled room.
Design ideas for a medium sized traditional single-wall kitchen/diner in Sussex with shaker cabinets, green cabinets, quartz worktops, black appliances, light hardwood flooring and an island.

The waterfall edge on the island offeres a vertical view of the Brachot Capri BQS quartz worktop. It is a lovely quartz with a fine marble effect grey and brown vein. These waterfall edges not only look great but they are so easy to clean and add a level of protection to an island that end panels don't.

It was important to our clients to find a company that could offer a seamless integration between construction, design, and finish. They were also keen to support an independent, family-run business — and Design Interiors Ltd ticked all the boxes. Our in-house building team recently completed this stunning kitchen extension and internal reconfiguration, transforming the property into a sociable, family-friendly home tailored to the needs of a busy young household. The project included the creation of a spacious open-plan kitchen, along with designated utility and boot room areas — perfect for the rhythm of modern family life. Our experienced team managed all trades on-site, working closely with building control and structural engineers to carefully reconfigure the internal layout and open up the living space. As part of the renovation, we revitalized the existing roof with comprehensive roofing works, and supplied and installed tiled flooring throughout — complete with underfloor heating for added comfort. New windows and large bi-fold doors were installed to create a seamless connection between the kitchen-dining area and the garden, flooding the space with natural light and bringing the outdoors in. Tim designed a large, multifunctional island to meet the family’s cooking and storage needs, while also providing a central hub for everyday life — from shared mealtimes to homework sessions and creative projects with the children. The kitchen is designed in the Mayland door style by Davonport, featuring rich walnut interiors and accents, and finished in Farrow & Ball Railings for a bold yet elegant finish. The utility and boot room are designed in Davonport’s Holkham door. The boot room is painted in Farrow & Ball Green Smoke, while the utility features Davonport’s Aspen — creating stylish, practical spaces that complement the main kitchen beautifully. Beyond the kitchen, the team also added a brand-new en-suite bathroom, undertook detailed brickwork, and incorporated various bespoke, personal touches throughout the home to enhance functionality and character. Externally, the transformation continued with the addition of a curved patio in the existing garden — a perfect space for entertaining, relaxing, and extending the flow of the home outdoors.

Open shelves with soft lighting showcase artful decor, bringing personality into the space. The bedroom blends soft pink tones with smart storage and a functional work area. Built-in shelves, cozy textures, and playful details make it perfect for a young resident, combining style and comfort in one.

This Edwardian home’s kitchen no longer suited the way the family lived, so we created a layout that placed storage where it was needed, kept surfaces clear and opened the space to the garden. After comparing cabinetry styles and hardware in the showroom, the clients chose our Shaker collection for its proportions. The kitchen uses three paint colours: Sage Green by Little Greene for the main cabinetry and bootility, Arras by Little Greene to define the drinks area, and Farrow & Ball Slipper Satin on the reeded-glass cupboards and coffee nook. The island began as a conversation about Lanhydrock House in Cornwall, where the family had seen a large working table. It evolved into a dark-stained oak island made in our workshops, shaped to fit the room and bring in extra storage. A curved cornice, CRL Verona quartz worktops with mixed edge profiles, and consistent brass hardware add texture and coherence. A wine fridge sits within the drinks alcove, while the bootility and coffee nook support the flow of daily life.
