Kitchen design for new build apartment

A kitchen to replace an inherited "off the peg" in a new build apartment.  Neutral white glossy units are replaced with handed crafted and painted cabinets in shades of blue and grey.

Although the location and layout of the apartment was just right, a white glossy kitchen was just not the style for these owners.

Re-integrating the brand new kitchen appliances and without upheaval to services, the transformation is stunning. 
New bespoke furniture giving more storage and display in the living area ties in the scheme.

The owners say "Now, it feels like home"

​BACKGROUND

The owners of this new property wanted to have an Island as well as bringing their existing table into the kitchen.  They also wanted a high level area for their existing bar stools - being bar stools rather than kitchen stools, the seat is higher than normal.  As the appliances were brand new, they wanted to re-use these with the minimum of work to the existing plumbing and electrics and to retain the flooring.

DESIGN

We integrated seating as part of the Island to provide space for the table to come into the kitchen area.  At the french windows a high level Oak coffee bar area gave the height needed for the much loved and comfortable bar stools.  The boiler was encased in a counter cupboard, which was matched with another counter providing additional storage.  The Island was painted in a deeper shade and all cabinetry was topped with a Quartz worktop to keep the scheme light.  A glass splash back in a matt finish finishes off the hob area in a coordinating colour.

The only brief for the furniture in the adjoining living area was to house the TV, some storage and a display area for glass vases given as a gift by the family.  Our design encompassed the brief in a beautiful and pleasing piece of cabinetry.
