CONTEMPORARY

The Brief

To create a simple contemporary kitchen that echoes the blues and light greys in the house driven by the proximity to the beach. Could we include a pendant light made by our clients father. Add a touch of the fifties. Not the easiest brief.

Design Concept

The house is a lovely old oak framed building. The clients have some nice pieces of artwork and have a love of history and English painted furniture. The simple island, the Aga, the curved detail in the canopy and the curved painted doors work well together in this down to earth kitchen in this amazing house.

The Solution

A calm and robust kitchen. Nothing overly complicated. A very easy kitchen to use which is free of gadgets and paraphernalia. So the kitchen design is strong, simple and uses colour really well to create an unfitted feel but also to provide a kitchen that is practical to cook and live in. It has a timeless quality the clients really liked and their own furniture dovetailed in with our own efforts to produce the personal result they sought from us.
