The client wanted grand, classic, fine furniture. The goal was to create a space that felt architectural and substantial – less fitted kitchen, more period drama.
Flat paint is great, but this is next level. Here we handpainted this kitchen with an antique finish. You can see the grain; you can feel the timber. It gives the joinery a tactile, limed look that whispers high-end craftsmanship.
This is the clever bit. Instead of a standard hob, we mounted stainless-steel control dials directly into the cabinet fascia. It gives you professional functionality without breaking the beautiful visual line of the furniture.
The room is anchored by a stunning herringbone timber floor, bringing warmth where stone tiles might feel too cold. We built a substantial canopy with a full marble splashback to match the island, and added illuminated glass cabinets to show off the owner’s accessories.
This kitchen is the perfect resolution of the brief: a balance of serious cooking power and elegant display. It proves that you can have all the functionality of a modern space without losing the soul and drama of a period property.
