A stylish couple from Hexham are having a spectacular remodel of their home, so I was delighted when they asked me to prepare some ideas for their cutting edge kitchen. I worked with artisan cabinet maker, Reiner Stoeckle of R S Cabinet Makers Ltd to produce the drawings below.

 

The clients have oodles of vision and are keen for their kitchen to be dark, with light marbled work-tops (in a new product by Formica called Truescale, Calcutta Marble). I proposed the stunning  Farrow and Ball's "Railings" colour after seeing how impressive it looks in a friend's kitchen in Jersey. We also opted for some antique brass handles and taps to add a warm and opulent feel. I thought that the cup handles would be offset well with contrasting pole-like pulls on the fridge-freezer and full height pull-outs. The monochromatic look will be framed with white metro tiles and further softened by engineered oak flooring which will step down into a bright family area with large southerly facing crittal windows leading into their garden.

​

Walls have been knocked down and plans are cruising ahead for this remodel to work intelligently with their lifestyles: hidden doors will be included and I am excited about the end product. Watch this space!
