Traditional Turquoise Eat-in Kitchen with Quartzite Benchtops Design Ideas

A perfect little spot to take a break while cooking! We designed this banquette seat to have drawers underneath for additional storage in the kitchen. On one side, we included a bookcase and on the other side are a couple of tall larders, one of which houses a Megaflow. We love how well the paint colour (Livid by Little Greene) goes with the upholstery that our client chose & sourced.

The owners of this beautiful kitchen came to us with ideas for an open-plan kitchen-diner-entertaining space. They wanted to blend inside with out, with large glass doors leading directly into the garden for a showstopping, bright atmosphere. With teenage children, the island was a necessity, wanting to create a space for everyone to convene together, involving the whole family in day-to-day activities. With a striking single-wall cabinetry design, the homeowners have achieved a modern, sleek appearance, without compromising on storage space. By stacking the ovens and integrating the fridge-freezer, opposite the double-width larder, we designed a symmetrical and contemporary layout. The contrasting floating shelves bridge the gap over the sink, adding textural intrigue and style. The floor-to-ceiling larder was custom designed for ample storage, with bespoke carpentry accommodating a multitude of dry goods and small appliances. The homeowners opted for a Smeg hob central to the room, incorporating it within the island, enhancing the social flow. With a built-in downward extraction, the ceiling is unencumbered by bulky hoods, increasing the height and airiness. By designing a bespoke u-shaped cutlery drawer under the extraction, the homeowners could make use of an otherwise wasted area. The worksurfaces are a customised Kashmera quartz in a soft white, offset with gentle grey feathering- oozing opulence. The cabinets- crafted in a traditional Shaker style- have been hand-painted in Farrow and Ball Studio Green- an intriguing blend of their more popular blue and green shades- which changes subtly with the waning light. The large kitchen was more than able to accommodate the substantial island, with plenty of seating for the whole family, and custom storage in abundance- a mixture of deep and shallow drawers, and cupboards. The hidden sockets with USB ports are a handy little feature, enabling the use of laptops and kitchen appliances around the island.

A well planned family kitchen hand built in the Shaker style. Designed to meet the customers brief of an eating and cooking space which all the family could enjoy. The kitchen includes a bespoke island with a Quartz worktop and breakfast bar seating in Caesarstone's Misty Carrara. Like the base cabinets it's painted in Farrow & Ball's Stiffkey Blue whilst the wall units are painted in their complimentary Pavilion Grey. The cabinetry is perfectly complemented by the brushed nickel handles and solid oak shelves with painted gallows brackets.

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 kitchen was for a Victorian cottage undergoing total modernisation and renovation. The wood burner in the snug, new doors and windows had already been installed, our clients were then looking for the perfect kitchen to knit the sitting room and dining area together. They wanted a classic style in a bold colour, that would make a modern statement but feel appropriate to a Victorian cottage. The brief was to make the sitting room and kitchen feel more connected to each other, creating a more open-plan space. We designed a classic lay-on shaker kitchen in Little Greene Paint Company’s ‘Puck’, a wonderfully bold racing green. To keep the kitchen feeling light and bright, we paired the units with the Carrera Venato quartz worktops. In addition to the worktops, we designed floating shelves and opened out the kitchen by removing a unit that had previously sat between the pillar and wall. All of these elements combined to ensure the kitchen feels bright and modern, even in such a deep and bold colour.

The brief was to transform the apartment into a functional and comfortable home, suitable for everyday living; a place of warmth and true homeliness. Excitingly, we were encouraged to be brave and bold with colour, and so we took inspiration from the beautiful garden of England; Kent. We opted for a palette of French greys, Farrow and Ball's warm neutrals, rich textures and textiles. We hope you like the result as much as we did!
