OUR BESPOKE KITCHENS

A selection of our bespoke commissions to inspire - each uniquely tailored


"It's those little touches and details that mean you know you are in a Christopher Howard kitchen."
Ruth, Edinburgh

Modern Open Plan Kitchen

"The function of design is to let ​design function.
An open plan zoned kitchen in a new extension to a traditional stone built home.  Combining colours of pale grey and navy in the hand painted furniture with gleaming white work surfaces and a striking Everhot cooker.  The look is complemented with metallics in the ironmongery and copper pendant lights at the peninsula.

Handpainted kitchen in Industrial style

"Every great design begins with an even better story."
A dilapidated barn converted to a wonderful family home.  The sizeable room became an open plan living-dining-social space. Designing only a low run of cabinets at the original barn wall kept the stone as a stunning focal point, dressed with surface run industrial style lighting.  A bank of two double larders and an American fridge freezer on the opposite wall provide ample additional storage.

Kitchen diner for a new apartment
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. 
​Design is how it works."

​"Making a house a home."
An extension creating a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and comfortable seated area.  The furniture is hand painted in muted shades of grey topped with an off-white Quartz work surface.  The whole scheme is warm and relaxed with generous storage in the counter bi-fold cabinets and tall larders with an integrated fridge.
The location of this new build apartment was ideal but, the inherited new kitchen was not.  A re-model which included integrated seating into the Island allowed the table to come into the room.  A high level coffee bar also integrated into the Island gave a great location for the  clients very comfortable bar stools.

Classic family kitchen
"Colour does not add a pleasant quality to design - 
​ it reinforces it"
An unusually shaped extension to this property presented no problem for our bespoke  cabinetry.  The design included angled and curved cabinets to flow with the contours of the room.  Hand painted in a stunning charcoal grey contrasted with stark white work surfaces. Steel accents in accessories and appliances complement the new spiral staircase leading to the roof terrace above.
"Simplicity, carried to an extreme, becomes elegance"

​Removing a wall allowed for a breakfast area in this classic family kitchen.  The client's love of blue and white is reflected in the hand painted cabinetry, which complements the window furnishings.  A curved front to the porcelain sink gives this belfast style a more contemporary look.  The end grain Oak chopping board mirrors the Oak of the breakfast table and chairs.
