Simon Taylor Furniture was commissioned to undertake the full refurbishment of an existing kitchen space in a Victorian railway cottage in a small village, near Aylesbury. The clients were seeking a light, bright traditional Shaker kitchen that would include plenty of storage and seating for two people. In addition to removing the old kitchen, they also laid a new floor using 60 x60cm floor tiles in Lakestone Ivory Matt by Minoli, prior to installing the new kitchen.
All cabinetry was handmade at the Simon Taylor Furniture cabinet workshop in Bierton, near Aylesbury, and it was handpainted in Skimming Stone by Farrow & Ball. The Shaker design includes cot bead frames with Ovolo bead moulding on the inner edge of each door, with tongue and groove panelling in the peninsula recess and as end panels to add contrast. Above the tall cabinetry and overhead cupboards is the Simon Taylor Furniture classic cornice to the ceiling. All internal carcases and dovetail drawer boxes are made of oak, with open shelving in oak as an accent detail. The white window pelmets feature the same Ovolo design with LED lighting at the base, and were also handmade at the workshop. The worktops and upstands, featured throughout the kitchen, are made from 20mm thick quartz with a double pencil edge in Vicenza by CRL Stone.
The working kitchen area was designed in an L-shape with a wet run beneath the main feature window and the cooking run against an internal wall. The wet run includes base cabinets for bins and utility items in addition to a 60cm integrated dishwasher by Siemens with deep drawers to one side. At the centre is a farmhouse sink by Villeroy & Boch with a dual lever mixer tap by Perrin & Rowe.
The overhead cabinetry for the cooking run includes three storage cupboards and a housing for a 45cm built-in Microwave by Siemens. The base cabinetry beneath includes two sets of soft-opening cutlery and storage drawers on either side of a Britannia range cooker that the clients already owned. Above the glass splashback is a concealed canopy hood, also by Siemens.
Intersecting the 16sq. metre space is a stylish curved peninsula with a tongue and grooved recess beneath the worktop that has space for two counter stools, a feature that was integral to the initial brief. At the curved end of the peninsula is a double-door crockery cabinet and on the wall above it are open shelves in oak, inset with LED downlights, next to a tall white radiator by Zehnder.
To the left of the peninsula is an integrated French Door fridge freezer by Fisher & Paykel on either side of two tall shallow cabinets, which are installed into a former doorway to a utility room, which now has a new doorway next to it. The cabinetry door fronts feature a broken façade to add further detail to this Shaker kitchen. Directly opposite the fridge freezer, the corner space next to doors that lead to the formal dining room now has a tall pantry larder with oak internal shelving and spice racks inside the double doors. All cup handles and ball knobs are by Hafele.

This is an example of a medium sized victorian l-shaped enclosed kitchen in Stockholm with a submerged sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, white splashback, metro tiled splashback, an island, marble worktops, stainless steel appliances and medium hardwood flooring.

The doorframe was removed to allow light to pass through the property and take advantage of the high ceilings. The stud partition was removed and pushed back 1300mm [4¼ feet] and a single run kitchen installed. Despite limited space, all appliances, including a slim-line dishwasher were fitted. A quartz countertop with induction hob was installed so as not to disrupt the kitchen’s clean lines. Metro tiles were fitted in a brickwork pattern to maintain the building’s Victorian character.

A walnut-topped kitchen island takes centre stage while a chorus of quality appliances by Miele, Neff, Britannia and Franke help with the chores.

Set within the elegant backdrop of a five-bedroom Victorian terraced home in Kensington on a grand, leafy street, this property underwent a huge restoration project to be renewed with modern touches. Being such an expansive property, the 2,454-square-foot property spans multiple floors, each thoughtfully restored and reimagined to reflect its architectural heritage.
With its grand proportions, high ceiling, ornate mouldings, and period wall panelling, this beautiful home deserved a kitchen that would honour its period charm while introducing the refined functionality of a handmade kitchen. This is where our team comes in to design a bespoke kitchen that strikes the perfect balance, blending craftsmanship with modern convenience. It’s the most perfect choice to complement the home’s historic character.
The final design was inspired by a render our client shared, showcasing a kitchen style and door detailing that captured their vision. We took that inspiration and brought it to life with a perfectly matched look. Our Traditional Lay-On Shaker heavy moulded door brings depth and character to the overall style. The cabinetry is a stunning echo of the sculptural detail found in original Victorian interiors, ensuring harmony between old and new.
What a result in this heart of the home – a space that feels both refined and welcoming, rooted in craftsmanship and authenticity, built within the beautiful Victorian structure.
Choosing such an iconic traditional style, this Lay-On Shaker is the perfect match for this London Victorian home. Characterised by the bespoke detailing of the large, bold door mouldings and meticulously crafted panelling, the kitchen cabinetry is a true testament to the architectural detailing found throughout the property. This deliberate design chosen by the client allows the kitchen to feel completely integrated with its surroundings.
Each cabinet is handcrafted with oak-veneered carcasses and features solid oak, dovetail-joined drawer boxes that highlight the quality of our traditional craftsmanship.
We finished the design with angled skirting plinths and panelled end panels, again reinforcing the sense of architectural cohesion. For modern convenience, all doors and drawers are fitted with soft-close concealed hinges, blending classic aesthetics with seamless functionality.
The style represents the period charm of the property while delivering contemporary performance, balancing history with everyday practicality in a beautifully crafted composition.
At the heart of this thoughtful layout lies a striking peninsula that subtly divides the space while enhancing its functionality.
Positioned where the original structure of the Victorian property once separated the rooms, the peninsula now opens up the kitchen into a magnificent, flowing area. It forms part of the L-shaped layout and serves multiple purposes, such as seating for two for a casual breakfast bar and a secondary sink, perfect for food prep or quick cleanups. It doesn’t stop just there, as we added plenty of storage and a second dishwasher integrated behind the cabinetry.
This cleverly designed kitchen uses the space effectively and adds practical value and visual interest to the hub of the home. Just look at the end panels and the rounded worktop.
To make further use of the floor space, a charming solid oak dining table, finished in a white-washed tone, invites family gatherings and everyday moments, adding warmth and a sense of homeliness to this elegant setting.
The warmth and elegant neutral from Dulux Heritage Candle Cream pays homage to the home’s historic character. This soft, creamy hue is iconic of traditional Victorian interiors, where understated tones were often used to reflect natural light and highlight architectural details.
Choosing such a delicate cream accentuates the bold door mouldings and panelling, bringing a sense of continuity and refinement as it works around the new kitchen.
In keeping with the refined style, a carefully curated selection of premium appliances was chosen to blend seamlessly with the design. Along the longer length of the L-shaped layout sits a striking Rangemaster Elise 110 range cooker in stainless steel, complete with an induction cooktop. To add to the function of the cooking area, a bespoke handmade mantle suspends above, concealing a powerful Westin Prime extractor, bringing both visual balance and practical ventilation. To add to the powerful cooking set-up is an eye-level stacked oven and microwave positioned to the left and set within tailored cabinetry above and below that mirrors the rest of the kitchen’s elegant panelling and shaker styling.
Tucked neatly into a dedicated alcove on the opposite side, you’ll find full-height integrated appliances by Liebherr – a fridge, freezer, and wine cooler – all in sleek stainless steel. This suite of appliances is framed with pull-up cabinetry above and crowned with traditional cornicing.
Positioned perfectly beneath a traditional sash window and the shorter length of the L, the main sink area becomes a harmonious focal point. Here, a beautifully crafted Shaws of Darwen double bowl ceramic sink sits proudly, paired with the elegant Milano Elizabeth traditional bridge mixer tap in chrome with white porcelain accents. The addition of a pull-out spray brings convenience with a classic silhouette perfectly fitting for this style of kitchen.
The sink setup is bathed in natural light by day, and gently illuminated by wall lights in the evening. We also included LED lighting underneath the cabinetry.
As previously mentioned, the peninsula holds the second sink, a rounded Shaws of Darwen mirroring the gentle curves of the surrounding worktops, adding cohesion and softness. It’s an ideal place for light tasks or entertaining, bringing a soft and meaningful design harmony.
A host of thoughtful finishing touches and smart storage solutions elevate the look and functionality of this bespoke kitchen. The handmade cabinetry is adorned with a curated mix of Hendal & Hendal Barrington hardware in a refined dull nickel finish, including pull handles, classic knobs and elegant Barrington Eclipse smooth cup pulls. Eclipse ribbed cup pulls are also featured, adding a subtle textural contrast.
Behind the scenes, the kitchen is just as considered. Hidden within the cabinetry are bespoke cutlery and utensil trays, cleverly designed by our artisans as drawers within drawers to keep the everyday tools beautifully organised. A spice rack has been expertly integrated into a wall cupboard, offering easy access without sacrificing style. Adding further to the functional design is a discreet integrated recycling bin for practical waste management, while a functional corner unit makes use of every inch to house the client’s treasured dinnerware.
The final flourish to this timeless kitchen is the stunning marbled-style worktop, chosen for its delicate grey veining that brings a sense of authenticity and understated elegance to the space. The surface offers an authentic aesthetic that complements the traditional cabinetry and heritage-inspired colour palette, and the classic ogee profile edge brings a further gentle curve. This same luxurious material flows seamlessly into a full-height splashback, wrapping around the kitchen and enhancing it. The continuous run of stone adds a touch of grandeur while offering a practical, easy-to-clean surface.

Tucked neatly into a dedicated alcove on the opposite side, you’ll find full-height integrated appliances by Liebherr – a fridge, freezer, and wine cooler – all in sleek stainless steel. This suite of appliances is framed with pull-up cabinetry above and crowned with traditional cornicing.
Positioned perfectly beneath a traditional sash window and the shorter length of the L, the main sink area becomes a harmonious focal point. Here, a beautifully crafted Shaws of Darwen double bowl ceramic sink sits proudly, paired with the elegant Milano Elizabeth traditional bridge mixer tap in chrome with white porcelain accents. The addition of a pull-out spray brings convenience with a classic silhouette perfectly fitting for this style of kitchen.
The sink setup is bathed in natural light by day, and gently illuminated by wall lights in the evening. We also included LED lighting underneath the cabinetry.
As previously mentioned, the peninsula holds the second sink, a rounded Shaws of Darwen mirroring the gentle curves of the surrounding worktops, adding cohesion and softness. It’s an ideal place for light tasks or entertaining, bringing a soft and meaningful design harmony.
A host of thoughtful finishing touches and smart storage solutions elevate the look and functionality of this bespoke kitchen. The handmade cabinetry is adorned with a curated mix of Hendal & Hendal Barrington hardware in a refined dull nickel finish, including pull handles, classic knobs and elegant Barrington Eclipse smooth cup pulls. Eclipse ribbed cup pulls are also featured, adding a subtle textural contrast.
Behind the scenes, the kitchen is just as considered. Hidden within the cabinetry are bespoke cutlery and utensil trays, cleverly designed by our artisans as drawers within drawers to keep the everyday tools beautifully organised. A spice rack has been expertly integrated into a wall cupboard, offering easy access without sacrificing style. Adding further to the functional design is a discreet integrated recycling bin for practical waste management, while a functional corner unit makes use of every inch to house the client’s treasured dinnerware.
The final flourish to this timeless kitchen is the stunning marbled-style worktop, chosen for its delicate grey veining that brings a sense of authenticity and understated elegance to the space. The surface offers an authentic aesthetic that complements the traditional cabinetry and heritage-inspired colour palette, and the classic ogee profile edge brings a further gentle curve. This same luxurious material flows seamlessly into a full-height splashback, wrapping around the kitchen and enhancing it. The continuous run of stone adds a touch of grandeur while offering a practical, easy-to-clean surface.

Set within the elegant backdrop of a five-bedroom Victorian terraced home in Kensington on a grand, leafy street, this property underwent a huge restoration project to be renewed with modern touches. Being such an expansive property, the 2,454-square-foot property spans multiple floors, each thoughtfully restored and reimagined to reflect its architectural heritage.
With its grand proportions, high ceiling, ornate mouldings, and period wall panelling, this beautiful home deserved a kitchen that would honour its period charm while introducing the refined functionality of a handmade kitchen. This is where our team comes in to design a bespoke kitchen that strikes the perfect balance, blending craftsmanship with modern convenience. It’s the most perfect choice to complement the home’s historic character.
The final design was inspired by a render our client shared, showcasing a kitchen style and door detailing that captured their vision. We took that inspiration and brought it to life with a perfectly matched look. Our Traditional Lay-On Shaker heavy moulded door brings depth and character to the overall style. The cabinetry is a stunning echo of the sculptural detail found in original Victorian interiors, ensuring harmony between old and new.
What a result in this heart of the home – a space that feels both refined and welcoming, rooted in craftsmanship and authenticity, built within the beautiful Victorian structure.
Choosing such an iconic traditional style, this Lay-On Shaker is the perfect match for this London Victorian home. Characterised by the bespoke detailing of the large, bold door mouldings and meticulously crafted panelling, the kitchen cabinetry is a true testament to the architectural detailing found throughout the property. This deliberate design chosen by the client allows the kitchen to feel completely integrated with its surroundings.
Each cabinet is handcrafted with oak-veneered carcasses and features solid oak, dovetail-joined drawer boxes that highlight the quality of our traditional craftsmanship.
We finished the design with angled skirting plinths and panelled end panels, again reinforcing the sense of architectural cohesion. For modern convenience, all doors and drawers are fitted with soft-close concealed hinges, blending classic aesthetics with seamless functionality.
The style represents the period charm of the property while delivering contemporary performance, balancing history with everyday practicality in a beautifully crafted composition.
At the heart of this thoughtful layout lies a striking peninsula that subtly divides the space while enhancing its functionality.
Positioned where the original structure of the Victorian property once separated the rooms, the peninsula now opens up the kitchen into a magnificent, flowing area. It forms part of the L-shaped layout and serves multiple purposes, such as seating for two for a casual breakfast bar and a secondary sink, perfect for food prep or quick cleanups. It doesn’t stop just there, as we added plenty of storage and a second dishwasher integrated behind the cabinetry.
This cleverly designed kitchen uses the space effectively and adds practical value and visual interest to the hub of the home. Just look at the end panels and the rounded worktop.
To make further use of the floor space, a charming solid oak dining table, finished in a white-washed tone, invites family gatherings and everyday moments, adding warmth and a sense of homeliness to this elegant setting.
The warmth and elegant neutral from Dulux Heritage Candle Cream pays homage to the home’s historic character. This soft, creamy hue is iconic of traditional Victorian interiors, where understated tones were often used to reflect natural light and highlight architectural details.
Choosing such a delicate cream accentuates the bold door mouldings and panelling, bringing a sense of continuity and refinement as it works around the new kitchen.
In keeping with the refined style, a carefully curated selection of premium appliances was chosen to blend seamlessly with the design. Along the longer length of the L-shaped layout sits a striking Rangemaster Elise 110 range cooker in stainless steel, complete with an induction cooktop. To add to the function of the cooking area, a bespoke handmade mantle suspends above, concealing a powerful Westin Prime extractor, bringing both visual balance and practical ventilation.
