modern handless kitchen in dark wood and matt grey lacquer
Modern Kitchen, London
A large family period house in Balham needed a kitchen that would serve the family better and bring the house up to date with a more current feel. The existing extension provided lots of space but did not make a good use of it. The kitchen lacked flow and suffered from poor storage and practical solutions. The area on the opposite side where the dining table was did not feel attractive and difficult to change especially with the access door to the utility room.
We kept the main kitchen run on the back wall, re-designed the island bringing it closer to the hob run. The island is double width with lots of very practical drawers not just to help with kitchen storage but also providing space for books, homework materials and home admin.
Next to the st/steel American style fridge freezer there is a double larder which is also used as a breakfast cupboard so that small appliances like the toaster can be kept there.
By the entrance to the kitchen an additional storage was provided with three reduced depth & height tall units (where the fridge used to be). We closed off the utility room door (which now is accessed from hallway) to create a cozy corner for the L shape sofa and a better space for the dining table.
New porcelain wood look flooring was also laid to provide a very practical floor solution for a busy family.
