The abundance of natural light in this modern split-level extension allowed us to use a really bold colour for the handmade Shaker style kitchen units which were sprayed and lacquered in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue. The brass handles from Rowen & Wren create a lovely contrast with the deep blue colour of the units. #KitchenIdeas #ShakerstyleKitchens

When the homeowners first approached us, they had a clear vision in mind—they wanted something that would complement their existing oak beams and create a warm, handmade, farmhouse atmosphere. We spent time together exploring different options, taking care to ensure every choice reflected their style and the family's needs. Ultimately, we settled on our Period English style, which aligned beautifully with their vision. The addition of curved cabinet legs was a subtle yet significant choice, softening the overall look and bringing a more relaxed feel to the room. The oak beams, far from being a design challenge, became an integral part of the space. We incorporated them into the layout, and the homeowners were delighted with how the kitchen now fits between the beams. One of the family’s favourite features is the kitchen island, which has become a central gathering spot—ideal for both practical tasks and family time. After experimenting with several shades, they settled on this beautiful blue for the cabinetry. The colour not only brightened the space but also beautifully complemented the warmth of the oak beams. Advice from the homeowners: They highly recommend visiting our showroom to meet the team in person. Seeing the options up close and discussing the fine details with the team helped ensure the final design turned out exactly as they had imagined.

Subtle industrial references give Sandford cherry effect modern a trend-led feel. Angular design details on appliances such as extractor fans and sleek taps keep the space clean and considered. Open storage ideas complement the aluminium effect glass doors adding a flash of contemporary detail.

The existing kitchen had ceiling mounted spotlights and the client was keen for the new kitchen to be well lit. We used LED striplights which were discreet but ceiling mounted across some of the beams and under the cabinets to create a good wash of light over the whole space.

Originally part of the Woodchester Park Estate, Woodchester Park is famous for its main house, Woodchester Mansion. The Mansion is one of England’s finest examples of an early Arts and Craft and Gothic Revival House and features the work of a number of celebrated 19th Century academics and architects. The house and outbuildings that house the clients studios were originally part of the model home farm. Run-down, asset stripped and sanitised, it was sensitively refurbished with a design that gives a distinct nod to their original use.
