Our brief
The design
Kitchen island and breakfast bar
Reclaimed timber
We used this same wood to create the lovely boot box and window in the window recess, which also functions as a doorstep. This allows access into the garden, meeting the architect’s vision of connecting the inside and outside spaces.
The window seat is a nice feature that allows low level seating in a light space in the kitchen, as well as providing hidden storage inside.
Sustainable core cabinets
All the kitchen cabinets are made from a special eco-board which is produced from 100% recycled timber. No tree was felled in the production of these cabinets, which makes them a great sustainable option.
Kitchen cabinet doors
We were keen to keep the kitchen sleek, so our design incorporated flat slab cabinet doors, which we spray painted in Farrow and Ball’s Parma Grey. The subtle colour complements the warm tones of the timber and is easy on the eye. The choice of doors is also sustainable because they are in-house designed and made in Sheffield. The cabinet doors and drawer fronts are made to order and have low wastage and low transport miles.
The result
In conclusion, the result is a fabulous sustainable family kitchen. It is not only functional but looks beautiful and is a joy to live in. It truly is a lovely kitchen in a lovely house.
