This is the kitchen inside the small cottage style house we built for our client. A compact kitchen in our clients cottage does not mean that she has had to compromise. Our client has found room for a cooker, dishwasher and microwave. A velux window offers lots of natural light.

We tried to recycle as much as we could. The floorboards were from an old mill in yorkshire, rough sawn and then waxed white. Most of the furniture is from a range of Vintage shops around Hackney and flea markets. The island is wrapped in the old floorboards as well as the kitchen shelves.

This cosy cottage, with its low ceilings and uneven walls, needed a bright, functional kitchen that would suit a young family. The bespoke Quebec Yellow timber cabinets, painted in Farrow & Ball Joah’s White, quite literally fit the bill, whilst the English Oak work tops and hand forged iron handles add warmth and character. The owners also wanted a bespoke kitchen table, which Hill Farm crafted from English Oak and finished in a stunning cherry colour to match the kitchen stove. Photo: Clive Doyle
