Traditional Eat-in Kitchen with Limestone Floors Design Ideas

This dark green kitchen shows how Tom Howley can create a kitchen where everything has a place and can be easily accessed. Integrated appliances and bespoke storage minimise clutter and glass fronted cabinetry with subtle lighting provides plenty of opportunity to display both attractive essentials and pieces of art.

This Edwardian home’s kitchen no longer suited the way the family lived, so we created a layout that placed storage where it was needed, kept surfaces clear and opened the space to the garden. After comparing cabinetry styles and hardware in the showroom, the clients chose our Shaker collection for its proportions. The kitchen uses three paint colours: Sage Green by Little Greene for the main cabinetry and bootility, Arras by Little Greene to define the drinks area, and Farrow & Ball Slipper Satin on the reeded-glass cupboards and coffee nook. The island began as a conversation about Lanhydrock House in Cornwall, where the family had seen a large working table. It evolved into a dark-stained oak island made in our workshops, shaped to fit the room and bring in extra storage. A curved cornice, CRL Verona quartz worktops with mixed edge profiles, and consistent brass hardware add texture and coherence. A wine fridge sits within the drinks alcove, while the bootility and coffee nook support the flow of daily life.

A traditional Shaker kitchen with a large central island and a wonderful breakfast area featuring a banquette seat. The island functions both as a prep area but also has space for bar stools, perfect for entertaining or for quick meals with the family. We also included a wooden towel rail to the side of the island, perfect for hanging tea towels. We love how the garden views unfold from every angle in the room, resulting in a kitchen filled with natural light.

A bespoke, handmade Shaker style kitchen with ‘in-frame’ mortice and tennon doors fitted on traditional butt hinges. This luxurious kitchen features Oak dovetailed and polished drawer boxes on soft-close concealed runners and a solid rigid carcass in polished Oak, except for the pantry unit that is in rich Walnut. The island units and Utility room have been factory painted in Library by Plimsoll and all other units are factory painted in Bone China Blue (Pale) from Little Greene Paint & Paper. All pull handles and knobs are in an Old Pewter finish, to co-ordinate with the Bosch appliances, whilst the brassware is by Quooker and Hans Grohe.

I designed this kitchen during my time at Harvey Jones. The client knew she wanted to feature colour but was concerned due to the narrowness of the room. By opting for natural limestone flooring and bright white walls to contrast, we were able to bring in beautiful blues and still maintain an airy, open feeling. I later designed (and Handley Bespoke built), the centre blue bookcase to complement the chosen kitchen cabinetry, featuring a hidden door leading into a cosy drinks snug. This is a great example of how bespoke builds can be made to fit in with your existing cabinetry.
