Room of the Week: A Kitchen Where Marble Meets Meticulous Joinery
A family gained more space and a cleaner look by incorporating joinery, widening doorways and losing cornices
In a Q&A format, we talk to the designers – and examine the creative thinking – behind some of Houzz’s most loveable rooms.
Brief
The clients wanted to create the look and feel of more space by incorporating joinery throughout the house, opening up doorways and losing ceiling cornices. Lighter, thicker floorboards, and taking everything up to the ceilings, also helped create more workable, brighter spaces.

Starting point
My clients found Houzz a great inspiration, and collated kitchen and dining room ideas and trends with Nina Maya Interiors. They then created moodboards, floor plans, joinery ideas and suggested palettes, materials and finishes. Everything was streamlined and simplified.

Thinking behind the arrangement of furniture/fixtures
The clients wanted to keep the furniture and fixtures sleek and streamlined. The pieces chosen were beautiful, minimal and functional.
