This stylish painted Brompton kitchen from McCarron & Co in this beautiful Edwardian property presents a clean, modern look without being too contemporary and it complements the traditional elements within the property. The kitchen features a combination of painted cabinets and natural oak with the worktops in a modern quartz. The design encompasses plenty of worktops and Wolf and Miele appliances as well as a high breakfast bar which conceals the preparation area when guests are seated in the dining area. A stunning ceiling lantern naturally lights the area between the large kitchen and dining area. Photographer: Trevor Richards

The homeowner felt closed-in with a small entry to the kitchen which blocked off all visual and audio connections to the rest of the first floor. The small and unimportant entry to the kitchen created a bottleneck of circulation between rooms. Our goal was to create an open connection between 1st floor rooms, make the kitchen a focal point and improve general circulation. We removed the major wall between the kitchen & dining room to open up the site lines and expose the full extent of the first floor. We created a new cased opening that framed the kitchen and made the rear Palladian style windows a focal point. White cabinetry was used to keep the kitchen bright and a sharp contrast against the wood floors and exposed brick. We painted the exposed wood beams white to highlight the hand-hewn character. The open kitchen has created a social connection throughout the entire first floor. The communal effect brings this family of four closer together for all occasions. The island table has become the hearth where the family begins and ends there day. It's the perfect room for breaking bread in the most casual and communal way.
