This kitchen was for a Victorian cottage undergoing total modernisation and renovation. The wood burner in the snug, new doors and windows had already been installed, our clients were then looking for the perfect kitchen to knit the sitting room and dining area together. They wanted a classic style in a bold colour, that would make a modern statement but feel appropriate to a Victorian cottage. The brief was to make the sitting room and kitchen feel more connected to each other, creating a more open-plan space. We designed a classic lay-on shaker kitchen in Little Greene Paint Company’s ‘Puck’, a wonderfully bold racing green. To keep the kitchen feeling light and bright, we paired the units with the Carrera Venato quartz worktops. In addition to the worktops, we designed floating shelves and opened out the kitchen by removing a unit that had previously sat between the pillar and wall. All of these elements combined to ensure the kitchen feels bright and modern, even in such a deep and bold colour.

Notting Hill is one of the most charming and stylish districts in London. This apartment is situated at Hereford Road, on a 19th century building, where Guglielmo Marconi (the pioneer of wireless communication) lived for a year; now the home of my clients, a french couple. The owners desire was to celebrate the building's past while also reflecting their own french aesthetic, so we recreated victorian moldings, cornices and rosettes. We also found an iron fireplace, inspired by the 19th century era, which we placed in the living room, to bring that cozy feeling without loosing the minimalistic vibe. We installed customized cement tiles in the bathroom and the Burlington London sanitaires, combining both french and british aesthetic. We decided to mix the traditional style with modern white bespoke furniture. All the apartment is in bright colors, with the exception of a few details, such as the fireplace and the kitchen splash back: bold accents to compose together with the neutral colors of the space. We have found the best layout for this small space by creating light transition between the pieces. First axis runs from the entrance door to the kitchen window, while the second leads from the window in the living area to the window in the bedroom. Thanks to this alignment, the spatial arrangement is much brighter and vaster, while natural light comes to every room in the apartment at any time of the day. Ola Jachymiak Studio

Inspiration for a small victorian l-shaped kitchen/diner in Melbourne with a double-bowl sink, flat-panel cabinets, light wood cabinets, marble worktops, metallic splashback, metal splashback, stainless steel appliances, dark hardwood flooring, no island, brown floors and white worktops.

Mirroring the delicate detailing found in the heart of the home, this utility features the same traditional lay-on panelled doors with bold mouldings, and the soft, warm tone of Dulux Candle Cream. Finishing touches such as the Hendel & Hendel Barrington dull nickel cup pulls with backplates and matching knobs bring consistency and charm to this hardworking space. To keep the function, the layout is a compact yet highly efficient galley-style design, optimised with a stacked configuration for the washing machine and dryer. It’s built and designed to maximise space without compromising on ease of use. A Shaws of Darwen Belfast sink sits proudly styled with a Milano Elizabeth cranked bridge mixer tap in chrome and white, echoing the kitchen setup, and the storage is highly effective with homes for cleaning products and the ironing board.
