Complete kitchen remodel. The pantry, fridges and an appliance bench are hidden in the wall of talls, and there's a built-in charging pad on the island bench. The original marble island bench was repurposed as decorative cladding to the fireplace in the living room.

This kitchen pays homage to a British Colonial style of architecture combining formal design elements of the Victorian era with fresh tropical details inspired by the West Indies such as pineapples and exotic textiles. Every detail was meticulously planned, from the coffered ceilings to the custom made ‘cross’ overhead doors which are glazed and backlit. The classic blue joinery is in line with the Pantone Color Institute, Color of the Year for 2020 and brings a sense of tranquillity and calm to the space. The White Fantasy marble bench tops add an air of elegance and grace with the lambs tongue edge detail and timeless grey on white tones. Complete with a butler’s pantry featuring full height glass doors, this kitchen is truly luxurious.

Inspiration for a transitional u-shaped kitchen in Other with an undermount sink, flat-panel cabinets, white cabinets, blue splashback, subway tile splashback, light hardwood floors and with island.

Classic British Kitchen in Worthing, West Sussex Extensive installation works took place on this project to facilitate this new slim-shaker kitchen complete with a walk-in pantry. The Brief This client sought to transform their tired kitchen with minimal storage and worktop space into a bright open space with improved function and new appliances to aid daily life. The stumbling block was an awkwardly shaped room, with windows and rear doors making a cohesive layout and design challenging. The client, however, was willing to undertake structural changes to create their perfect kitchen space, so designer Phil set about creating a wrap-around layout with changes to a window and French doors. Installation Phase To create the favoured layout our installation team were required to essentially swap the place of a set of French doors and window, creating the space for an L-shape run of furniture and an overall better flow to the design. During the installation phase, our team removed the previous plaster back to the brick and set about installing a first fix of plumbing and electrical work to suit the new design. The client had some roofing work undertaken at this stage as well, and externally our team mended brickwork affected by the change of layout. After a replaster of the room, the kitchen installation and a second fix of electrics and plumbing could take place. This was soon followed by the installation of a new Karndean floor which would run from the front to the rear of this property. Design Elements After drastic changes to the layout of this property, this client could finally see their ambitions for this space come to life. The client was initially torn between an ultramodern design and a shaker option, and so opted for this slim profile shaker option which adds both a classic and contemporary element to the design. An Indigo Blue finish has been used for full-height and base units, with a Chalk White finish chosen for wall units to break up the design a little. Bright white quartz work surfaces have been chosen to compliment this furniture theme which teams well with contemporary copper handleware. A long L-shaped runs around the long perimeter of this kitchen to provide vastly improved worktop space and plenty of integrated storage. At the start of this run, appliances are built into full-height cabinetry, and adjacent to this, what appears to be further storage opens into a walk-in pantry with heaps of storage for foods and other items. Special Inclusions The client also sought to improve their kitchen functionally, and they chose to enhance their array of appliances with great Miele and Neff choices. A Miele single oven and combination oven have been built into furniture and offer a plenitude of useful cooking functions for the client, as well as being an extremely durable choice. A Neff induction hob adds another efficient cooking option to the space, and above a Neff extractor is built into furniture. A Quooker boiling water tap is installed at the sink, which provides a constant stream of 100°C boiling water, as well as usual cold and warm water. The quartz work surfaces have been used as a splashback behind the hob and sink, where they also double as a window ledge, but the client also opted to add a teal tiled option to the kitchen which completes a great overall look. To add ambience to the space numerous lighting options also feature. Beneath and above wall units LED lights have been installed, as well as downlights in the ceiling. To add warmth to this space a full height radiator has been installed close to the new French doors. Project Highlight A key requirement of this project was an improvement to the downstairs flooring which runs from front to back of this property. This choice is a Karndean finish, which teams well with design and has been laid in a unique right-angled pattern. The flooring also runs into an understairs cloakroom, which was installed as part of this project. The End Result This project highlights the fantastic results that can be achieved when our experienced designers and the capabilities of our installation team combine. This project required a unique solution to bring this client’s ambitions to life, and accompanied by a fantastic kitchen design this space now does exactly that.

The client wanted a modern Shaker look, something that was daring, hence the black cabinets. The client supplied their own floor and splashback tiles and the satin polyurethane shaker doors are in Dulux Vivid White / Black Caviar. A 20mm stone benchtop was installed by Benchmark Stonemasons in Caesarstone White Shimmer.
