Having completed their extension 10 years prior, our client came to us now finally in a place to install their dream kitchen. The brief was modernist and colourful, so we sought to bring this energy by including pops of colour within the cabinetry, and combining these with natural oak to create a bright & modern scheme with unexpected joyful surprises.

Open-plan kitchen and dining room with an oak island, full-height pale pink cabinets, herringbone parquet and skylights over bifold doors to the garden

We changed the flooring to a beautiful oak parquet to create a timeless feel, and installed a fresh Corian worktop to lift everything.

“They lead the project amazingly well, were patient, communicated brilliantly and really understood my brief. The whole process was managed exceptionally”

Our favourite part was designing the sliding door wall cabinets, reminiscent of mid-century California kitchens, but given a fresh twist by choosing a bright orange for the flashy internals.

The end result is a playful, uplifting family space that will last for years to come.

“Paying a higher fee for someone to take on the whole project was worth it's weight in gold.”
