Nestled in the picturesque suburban area of Nazeing, Essex this stunning grand country house underwent an extensive renovation to become their forever home. Relocating to a grand country property like this offers huge potential to make it your dream home, and the goal was to blend timeless country charm with modern luxury, resulting in a kitchen at the centre that is as functional as it is breathtaking. Revitalising their living space, the area opened up to a kitchen, informal dining and living area, where the layout was carefully planned to enhance the flow of the zones, making it a hub for cooking, socialising and living. The whole space is not only beautiful inside but also maximises its connection to the outdoors. Large glass doors connect the open-plan space with the grounds bringing in a great deal of natural light and scenic views. Every corner is bright and airy, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The location of this Nazeing home, surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, adds to the charm of this traditional yet modern kitchen design. Key design elements focus on natural oak, exposed wooden beams, and two spacious kitchen islands for maximum practicality and a touch of grandeur. In true Shaker style, the kitchen is both beautiful and usable, and we also designed handmade cabinetry for additional rooms such as a walk-in pantry, a utility and a media wall unit. Our client fell in love with the Classic In-Frame Shaker design, and this is the style that was chosen. The client also loved the look of natural oak to bring warmth to the room, tying in with the beams and country setting, so decided to have the whole middle section designed in nautral oak (2 islands and a dresser). What makes this hub of the home spectacular is the dual kitchen islands. Both built and designed in our beautiful natural oak, these two stunning islands serve multiple purposes for the space and our client. Working Island – Let’s start with the smaller one of the two. Square in shape, this is dedicated to food preparation and comes equipped with a Franke built-in sink and Quooker Classic Fusion Square in Patinated Brass. Ample counter space and storage solutions, including an integrated recycling bin, can be seen. Socialising Island – This is larger, more of a rectangle, and has a beautiful curved end acting as an additional informal dining area to the straight line. The space for six bar seats encourages family and guests to gather and socialise. It also features an S-Box (pop-up socket), bespoke cutlery & utensil drawers, deep pan drawers and curved end cabinetry. Further elevating the stunning design is the choice of range cooker and the exposed brick wall surrounding that sits at the centre. A cream classic AGA offers both traditional aesthetics and modern functionality that becomes the kitchen’s workhorse and the perfect choice for our client’s busy life. A little fun fact – this AGA is 30 years old! It has been repurposed from all gas to all-electric! It still looks brand new, keeping up with the modern family life! A quintessential country feature that is framed with bespoke cabinetry and an exposed brick wall, making it the focal point of the cooking area. Not only an appliance for cooking large family meals but a range cooker that heats the space during the colder winter months and adds to the homely, inviting feel of the space. Close, and just on the other side of the prep island and in direct view of the AGA, is a freestanding cabinetry unit that houses integrated cold storage appliances (fridge and freezer) from Samsung and a built-in Liebherr Wine Storage Cabinet. The breathtaking scenery is a natural backdrop, blending the indoors with the outdoors. Positioned in front of large windows and framed by exposed wooden beams, the sink area offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The many windows flood the kitchen with natural light, making everyday tasks like washing up a pleasure. How this sink area was created: The Shaws Double Bowl sink brings the kitchen a classic yet timeless charm. A spacious, deep basin that’s practical for daily tasks and perfect for a family kitchen. The Perrin & Rowe Ionian Mixer Tap with Rinse in Aged Brass combines traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience. Choosing aged brass not only adds a luxurious vintage touch but also complements the natural tones of a country kitchen. A Perrin & Rowe Freestanding Soap Dispenser in Aged Brass Traditional completes the look. A small yet impactful accessory that blends seamlessly with the mixer tap. Its freestanding design allows for flexibility in placement – the sink area is kept neat and uncluttered, maintaining the clean lines of the design. This sink run includes two Miele fully integrated dishwashers and plenty of other storage solutions to keep the kitchen organised. The handmade cabinets are hand-painted in Rolling Fog by Little Greene. Further elevating the design with alternative storage and tying in with the country setting is the natural oak dresser. It’s the epitome of refined craftsmanship and classic style, that’s designed to elevate the aesthetics of the home and our client’s style. The dresser combines warm tones with the light, airy feel provided by the glazed doors and the Carrara Misterio worktop. With a bold structure, the upper section features glass-fronted cabinets, allowing our client to display their most treasured items while keeping them protected. It further enhances an open, airy look. Below, the dresser provides concealed storage with a sturdy oak door and drawers. The closed storage solution is perfect for keeping less decorative items, such as linens or tableware, neatly out of sight but easily accessible. In the middle is open-shelving. Something else that captures the eye and adds to the style and functionality of the kitchen is the beautifully crafted breakfast pantry, hand-painted in Rolling Fog by Little Greene. The pantry sits at one end of the kitchen providing a dedicated space for all your morning essentials, streamlining the daily routine all while adding a touch of refined elegance. It’s neatly organised, within reach, and designed beautifully behind bi-fold doors. The soft, muted tones of Rolling Fog, pair beautifully with the natural beauty of the woodwork. A Samsung Built-In Grill Microwave is housed in the middle and a quartz cold shelf is the ideal place for small kitchen appliances and keeping breakfast items such as butter, cheese, or fresh pastries cool during preparation. Other features of the kitchen include the handles – Perrin & Rowe Shell in Aged Brass, Perrin & Rowe Large Contoured Knobs in Aged Brass, and Armac Martin Bar Handles for fridge, freezer and wine cabinet. And the Carrara Misterio quartz worktops. Prime location, a light and airy walk-in pantry situated adjacent to the kitchen, enhancing the flow of the cooking and dining routines, is what we have created here. A thoughtful L-shaped layout brings a space that helps our clients quickly select ingredients, appliances, and other essentials and the spectacular views make it a space that feels both luxurious and serene. Our client opted for stylish storage jars to keep ingredients fresh and organised and wicker baskets to add to the rustic charm. These natural materials contrast beautifully with the sleek Carrara Misterio quartz worktops and open shelving, adding depth and character to the pantry design. A perfect blend of entertainment and cooking is just another key element of this space – a modern touch to the otherwise classic kitchen. In the living part of the open-plan space, we designed and built a media wall unit beneath those solid and beautiful wooden beams. Positioned in a way where you can see from the entertaining island, this beautiful feature still allows for all the family to enjoy TV shows altogether, whether cooking, eating or socialising. The media wall is framed with custom cabinetry that blends seamlessly with the rest of the space, keeping it stylish and attractive. The open shelving allows our client to display decorative items that fit in with the overall decor and below cabinetry to conceal other items you may not want to be displayed. We hand-painted the unit in Rolling Fog by Little Greene, a neutral hue that is warm and grounding.

By opening up the existing ground floor, the kitchen becomes the heart of the home, anchored by a curved island with slatted timber detailing. It’s a space for cooking, gathering and conversation. An understated wall of vertical timber slats conceals ample storage and utility spaces, keeping the home clutter-free. Every detail ensures practicality while maintaining a calm and organized aesthetic.

For the island, we added hidden cupboard space under the seating area, for the seldom used items. Also, incorporating a drawer with a double plug and USB point. Hiding unsightly cables with the ease of charging at the same time. To complement the curved island top, we mirrored this on the ceiling to enhance a softness to the design. To eradicate the need of an overhead extractor fan, we used a Bora Pure recirculation extractor hob. The optimal airflow offers reduced noise when used and all odours are immediately captured at surface height. Perfect when entertaining.

With its painted shaker-style cabinets featuring our bespoke inset handles, this kitchen is a visual delight. The island stands out in a captivating dark green tone (Pompeian Ash by Little Greene) while the main cabinetry is graced with a lighter shade (Little Greene's Slaked Lime Deep). Embracing functionality, the pantry to the right of the kitchen is a storage haven, ensuring a tidy kitchen by concealing any chaos.

With its soft hues and natural warmth, The Redland Kitchen is a blissful sanctuary in the heart of this busy family home. Featuring the Redland door, the slim frame creates elegant detailing and clean lines. The mellow aesthetic pairs painted cabinets with oak veneer, creating an organic and calming space. The kitchen was designed to provide ample storage whilst keeping the room open to allow natural light to flood in. The long kitchen island is a multi-functional feature, providing additional storage and worktop space, while creating the perfect spot for family breakfasts or coffee catch-ups with friends.

The kitchen is appreciated for its fresh, bright look, achieved with olive-green cupboard fronts that contrast with the white marble effect worktops and splashback. The adjacent dining area is airy yet ultra-cosy. The empty space above the existing boiler has been used to install an adjustable shelf system that serves as Romeo's playground.

Nestled in a quiet North Bristol suburb, Helen's Arts and Crafts home blends historic charm with modern family living. The kitchen extension was designed to connect indoors and outdoors, overlooking a natural swimming pond and a secluded garden, perfect for family life and entertaining. Helen's vision was clear: a kitchen to unite her multi-generational family, including her husband, 87-year-old mother, pets, and frequent visitors. "This is our forever home, so we really wanted somebody who could work with us to deliver our forever kitchen," she says. After exploring options, Helen found Tom Howley and their designer Julieanne, who helped create a kitchen that's "as functional as it is welcoming." Inspired by restaurant kitchens, the design features two central islands, one for prep and cleaning, the other for cooking and plating, allowing Helen to move easily and stay connected with family. "It feels like cooking doesn't interrupt time with family; it enhances it," Helen smiles. The bold blue cabinetry, warm brass handles, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow make the kitchen a vibrant hub. Helen cherishes how it hosts lively family moments: "This kitchen enables that", from casual meals to unforgettable celebrations.

The oak island is the focal point of this kitchen. Its tongue-and-groove back and end panels bring a touch of craftsmanship to the space. The Horizon Carrara Quartz countertop adds a sleek and sophisticated surface, while the oak bar stools with metal legs offer casual yet stylish seating. The Little Greene Lamp Black cabinetry, accented with Armac Martin Burnished Brass handles, creates a contrast against the light oak floors and the crisp quartz. The open shelving, with oak interiors, subtly ties the island’s warmth to the rest of the kitchen, while the Franke Mythos undermount sink and Quooker Flex tap seamlessly integrate into the design, maintaining the kitchen’s clean lines and functional elegance.

In the quaint village of Clifton, Bedfordshire, we were commissioned to create multiple rooms within this exceptional new-build home. The main hub was designed to bring family, friends and entertaining together in one beautifully exceptional space with a fun and characterful design. Set within an expansive open-plan layout, the kitchen is built in our Lay-On Shaker style, hand-painted in Farrow & Ball Studio Green, the brand’s deepest green, rich and atmospheric. The depth of colour is elevated with the warm antique brass finish of Corston Milliner handles and knobs, giving the cabinetry a timeless, luxurious feel. The fun design continues with an L-shaped perimeter run of cabinetry paired with a matching L-shaped central island. This dual configuration provides generous prep space, ample storage, and comfortable seating for informal gatherings at one end of the island. The island is a true statement piece, and includes open shelving for cookbooks – adding charm and accessibility, an Armac Martin Cotswold aged brass towel rail – for practicality and decorative detail, and a combination worktop of Bianco Mysterio quartz and solid oak, balancing natural warmth with durability. It also features the sink area, a Caple Paladin undermount sink in white, paired with a Quooker Flex gunmetal tap, offering instant boiling, cold, and filtered water in a sleek, contemporary form. The wooden top for the island was the client’s existing oak. We took it back to our workshop, cut it to size to suit the new island, and refinished it. We thoughtfully distributed the appliances throughout the layout to create an entertaining hub. A bank of NEFF integrated appliances for effortless cooking and baking, a NEFF wine cooler perfectly positioned on the island, and a dedicated NEFF hob area with Westin Prime extractor, combining performance with style. Beautifully concealed behind the bespoke cabinetry lies the NEFF fridge freezer. Behind the cooking area, a hand-silvered antique mirror in Vintage finish adds depth, light reflection, and a subtle hint of glamour. On either side of this beautiful cooking area are symmetrical wooden open shelves housing many tasteful objects. A key element of the design is the trio of pantries that maximises storage. One features a cold shelf, drawers, open shelving and a spice rack; another includes Le Mans pull-out corner storage for effortless access. The dedicated breakfast pantry keeps morning essentials neatly organised and discreetly out of sight. Perhaps the most enchanting element is the run of cabinetry concealing two doors – not to storage, but leading to the boot room. This hidden feature, which we fondly call our Narnia doors, has become a favourite among our clients, offering both functionality and a sense of discovery. The Drinks Dresser Positioned within the dining area of the open-plan layout, this elegant drinks cabinet is crafted in our Lay-On Shaker cabinetry and painted in the same rich green as the kitchen, creating a seamless design flow. Whether it’s for evening wind-downs, hosting guests, or displaying glassware in style, this bar area is the perfect complement to the space. Open the bi-fold doors to reveal thoughtfully arranged shelving with mood lighting, oak serving trays, and a touch of luxury all in one corner. A standout detail is the built-in docking drawer – an ingenious addition that keeps devices charged and neatly tucked away, allowing you to stay connected while cooking or entertaining without cluttering the worktops.
