The Brief Designer Aron was tasked with creating the most of a wrap-around space in this Brighton property. For the project an on-trend theme was required, with traditional elements to suit the required style of the kitchen area. Every inch of space was to be used to fit all kitchen amenities, with plenty of storage and new flooring to be incorporated as part of the works. Design Elements To match the trendy style of this property, and the Classic theme required by this client, designer Aron has condured a traditional theme of sage green and oak. The sage green finish brings subtle colour to this project, with oak accents used in the window framing, wall unit cabinetry and built-in dresser storage. The layout is cleverly designed to fit the space, whilst including all required elements. Selected appliances were included in the specification of this project, with a reliable Neff Slide & Hide oven, built-in microwave and dishwasher. This client’s own Smeg refrigerator is a nice design element, with an integrated washing machine also fitted behind furniture. Another stylistic element is the vanilla noir quartz work surfaces that have been used in this space. These are manufactured by supplier Caesarstone and add a further allure to this kitchen space. Special Inclusions To add to the theme of the kitchen a number of feature units have been included in the design. Above the oven area an exposed wall unit provides space for cook books, with another special inclusion the furniture that frames the window. To enhance this feature Aron has incorporated downlights into the furniture for ambient light. Throughout these inclusions, highlights of oak add a nice warmth to the kitchen space. Beneath the stairs in this property an enhancement to storage was also incorporated in the form of wine bottle storage and cabinetry. Classic oak flooring has been used throughout the kitchen, outdoor conservatory and hallway. Project Highlight The highlight of this project is the well-designed dresser cabinet that has been custom made to fit this space. Designer Aron has included glass fronted cabinetry, drawer and cupboard storage in this area which adds important storage to this kitchen space. For ambience downlights are fitted into the cabinetry. The End Result The outcome of this project is a great on-trend kitchen that makes the most of every inch of space, yet remaining spacious at the same time. In this project Aron has included fantastic flooring and lighting improvements, whilst also undertaking a bathroom renovation at the property.

The roof lantern floods the room with natural light, not only balancing the dark tone on the cabinetry but also making the room feel airy and spacious - just as our client, Jane, had hoped to achieve in her new kitchen.

The kitchen, located in the lower ground floor, was updated with bespoke cabinetry fitted around the chimney breast with a range cooker within the existing fireplace.

The Ben Heath bespoke window seat has been painted in a colour to compliment the blinds and to distinguish it from the kitchen cabinets although the design is the same. The dresser to the left has an oak oiled top with oak door fittings to provide extra storage space - maximising the use of walls in the small kitchen/diner.

The Brief This client sought to move their kitchen to an open-plan area at the rear of the property, whilst transforming their previous kitchen into a home office. As part of the project, they required all new electrical, water and gas connections into the new room in addition to the kitchen. From early project conversations a traditional theme was favoured to better suit this property in the rural surroundings of Henfield. As keen cooks, the clients wished to improve their cooking space with an array of new appliances. Design Elements Designer Alistair has created a layout and theme to achieve all the elements of the project brief. The layout utilises an L-shaped run with plenty of tall units to encompass this client’s storage and appliance desirables, in addition to a sizeable island which was a key requirement. The island area adds plenty of worktop space for food preparation and cooking, as well as providing seating for two and a space to perch whilst cooking. A traditional theme has been achieved by utilising handcrafted in-frame furniture from one of our British suppliers. The colour combination of taupe grey for the main kitchen area, and light grey for the island is a subtle choice that suits the space perfectly. A Dekton work surface was opted for throughout the kitchen space, this has been chosen in the finish Salina, which teams well with grey accents in this design. To store dry foods an all-in-one storage option was required to keep things neat and tidy. Designer Alistair recommended a full-height pantry, which is equipped with shelving, drawer storage and door-mounted spice racks. The array of appliances were also to be located in one area of the kitchen, and so the space in between has been designed with wall units to differ from a run of full-height units. Here a undermounted sink has been installed, in addition to a dishwasher, integrated bin-store, and corner storage. This area has also been enhanced with a glass splashback, useful wall unit mounted plug sockets, and undercabinet lighting. Special Inclusions As keen cooks an array of appliances to help with kitchen functionality and enjoyment was key. A selection of premium Neff appliances have been utilised for this project, including two Slide & Hide single ovens, a combination microwave, built-in coffee centre, full-height refrigerator and full-height freezer. Placed upon the island is a sizeable five-burner Neff gas hob which is where most of the cooking in this household will take place. The hob has been placed on the island so the clients can indulge in their cooking and watch rugby on TV at the same time. Above this area a ceiling mounted extractor has been built to remove any cooking odours. Project Highlight Oak internals are a beautiful element of any kitchen and so are the highlight of this project. The dovetailed drawer boxes best showcase the handcrafted internals in this kitchen, as well as the door-mounted spice racks within the pantry. The End Result This project is another that showcases the capabilities of our complete design and installation option. Designer Alistair has created a clever design that achieves all elements of the project brief and perfectly captures the client’s ambitions for this space. The kitchen itself is a fantastic example of our illustrious in-frame British kitchen option, that has been installed with great care and precision.
