In the affluent area of Clapham in London, this remarkable home renovation project celebrates the art of bespoke, handmade design. Recognising craftsmanship, personality, and function, all three aspects come together for the perfect balance. For homeowner and interior designer Tom Hughes, the kitchen was always going to be the star of the show, made into a space that reflects his planned sensibilities and transforms everyday living into moments to treasure. Working closely with our client, we reimagined the Classic In-Frame Shaker with a contemporary twist, introducing a plain front frame with a single square bead. This subtle yet striking detail adds character and refinement, which perfectly aligns with modern living and the client’s ultimate design vision. Bathed in natural light from overhead skylights and floor-to-ceiling crittall windows and doors, the L-shaped layout is both open and welcoming, offering a smooth flow for cooking, entertaining, and relaxing. From the stained oak island and dark aged bronze finishes to the bespoke banquette and drinks area, every element of this kitchen is something we have fallen in love with. The whole design celebrates the beauty of autumn! When it came to the colour for the project, the eye for design brought this space to life through a palette that perfectly balances three concepts – warmth, depth, and natural harmony. We hand-painted the kitchen in Farrow & Ball’s Red Earth, a soft terracotta red inspired by the soil beneath our feet. This rich blend of red is luxurious, making the kitchen an inviting space to be in! As the light changes throughout the day, this delightful red glows softly in the morning before deepening into a cocooning warmth by evening. Complementing this earthy tone, Little Greene’s Slaked Lime Dark was chosen for the banquette and drinks area, introducing a versatile neutral that adds balance to the boldness of the terracotta. Together, both these hues tell a story of contrast and a deeper connection. Centrally positioned, the island is at the heart, a stunning representation of classic, timeless design. Echoing the same In-Frame Classic Single Square Bead style as the main kitchen, it has been crafted in natural oak and finished with a dark stain. This raw look adds a rich warmth that anchors the entire open-plan space. It’s more than just a focal point; this luxurious island is beautiful and practical, offering a 300mm overhang around the cabinetry to provide comfortable seating for up to four people. This social hub is a great spot for perching and a quick bite to eat, or a place to sit and chat with the chef. To the left-hand side, a hollow post discreetly conceals the electrical cabling, maintaining the island’s seamless appearance while allowing for integrated functionality. This is where smaller appliances (e.g mixer) can be plugged into or to charge your phone. Inside, our meticulous craftsmanship continues, with bespoke storage solutions and a cutlery tray in the top drawer for neatly organised essentials. We formed the appliance layout to bring impact and functionality to the kitchen. A bank of Miele appliances, including a single oven, warming drawer, and microwave, sits neatly at the end of the sink run. Continuing the L-shaped layout, a flush Miele hob takes centre stage on the opposing run, paired with a Westin Prime 900 Extractor concealed within a handcrafted mantle, for a beautiful architectural look. Maintaining the cohesive aesthetic, a Siemens fridge-freezer is fully integrated within the tall cabinetry, while a Siemens dishwasher remains discreetly hidden behind matching doors. The black gloss finish of the Miele appliances creates a striking contrast against the warm terracotta tones of Farrow & Ball’s Red Earth. It’s all been designed for a streamlined finish and a design-led appeal. The sink area beautifully balances practicality with style, combining a sleek Franke Mythos integrated stainless steel bowl and a subtle warmth from the Samuel Heath aged brass tap. Adding a touch of visual texture and shine, small square tiles were chosen for the splashback, reflecting the light and adding a fresh look. As the sink isn’t positioned by a window, we designed floating shelves above to bridge the gap between the wall cabinets, creating a decorative feature. They have both been styled with greenery, cookbooks, and autumnal accessories, such as cute pumpkins and integrated LED lighting has been placed beneath. This whole bespoke kitchen is filled with finishing touches, and one that blends subtle elegance with classic marbling is the Misterio quartz worktop. The soft white base and delicate grey veining mimic the beauty of natural marble. Being a versatile surface, it doesn’t just grace the worktops in this kitchen space; it continues seamlessly up the wall to create a matching splashback. To complement the brass tones featured throughout the space, Armac Martin Leebank knobs have been chosen to bring a tactile charm and texture to the cabinetry. The signature straight knurl design introduces a subtle industrial edge that perfectly works with the smooth painted furniture. Positioned within the appealing open-plan layout, the banquette and drinks area form a beautifully balanced wall of comfort and sophistication, where this part is a warm and inviting kitchen extension. This section is made up of three distinct elements, each thoughtfully designed to showcase a sense of interior style, attention to detail and comfort. All hand-painted in the warm neutral of Little Greene’s Slaked Lime Dark and topped with traditional cornices. To the left, the bar area immediately draws the eye with its fluted glass cabinets framed by floor-to-ceiling cabinetry on either side. Entertaining is made easy, as the welcoming bar is the ideal spot to mix drinks, chat with friends and admire the craftsmanship. Inside the tall cupboards, custom shelving keeps everything perfectly organised, from glassware and bottles to cleaning equipment, while the soft glow of lighting built into the underside of the cabinetry highlights every detail and texture. Along the wall, the banquette seating creates a relaxed social hub. The deep sofa-style seat has been upholstered to include the rich terracotta tones inspired by Farrow & Ball’s Red Earth, adding a personal touch of vibrancy. With a seat depth of 750mm and a 600mm high angled backboard, the banquette offers generous comfort for morning coffee, family meals and late-night chats with a glass of wine. The dining table, personally chosen by the client, echoes the stained finish of the island, tying the design together with thoughtful consistency. A touch of character continues with a tall open shelving unit that displays curated décor and books, while a discreet cat flap is neatly integrated beneath, where the household pet has its own stylish entrance. This entire area perfectly reflects The Handmade Kitchen Company’s approach with interior designer Tom to create a social space that’s personal, purposeful, and beautifully made.

The designing of the new Display Home, to be built at 48 Langdon Drive at Mernda Villages, Mernda has given Davis Sanders Homes the opportunity to showcase our custom design capabilities and demonstrate how some of the challenges of a small sloping site can be addressed economically, without compromising the floorplan. This 448m2 block, with its 1.4 metres of fall across the block, required a Display Home that could be reproduced by clients on their own sloping site. For that reason the home was designed in three separate sections so that each section could be moved up or down as the slope of the block required. This eye catching home with retro styling certainly gets your attention. With a colour scheme of brilliant red, shining black, vivid orange, charcoal and white, the homes vibrant palate certainly gets your attention as soon as you walk through the front door. The orange striated angled wall of the entry foyer gives you a hint of things to come without being over powering. The formal living room is located off the entry foyer and addresses a private court yard via French doors to the front of the home. Moving through the home, the central passageway directs you past 4 excellent sized bedrooms, main with walk through robe and ensuite, main bathroom and separate powder room. These bathrooms with their sticking colour schemes and textured high gloss tiles create outstanding points of interest within the home. A central stair case takes you up to the family room, meals area and kitchen which all open out to the undercover outdoor alfresco. The home has an abundance of light and open feel as all these areas address the garden and alfresco. The meals area and alfresco have a vaulted ceiling which not only adds interest and creates a feeling of space it also adds light and warm to this north facing aspect of the home. The kitchen combines vivid red 2pak overhead cupboards with a shiny black and red glass tiled splash back and stone benchtop in white all flanked by a feature wall to the laundry and walk in pantry.
