We created this bespoke kitchen-diner within a new, rear extension for a 5-bedroom Surrey home in collaboration with interior designer, Saskia Kate Interiors. The result is a kitchen environment that feels timeless, layered, and deeply considered. Working closely with the client over a two year period, Et Lorem and Saskia Kate Interiors developed a bespoke kitchen and dining space that now forms the anchor of the home, balancing individual character with functionality designed around everyday living.  The design includes bespoke in-frame Shaker cabinetry, hand-painted in No. 164 Artillery Ground by Mylands, to present a deep green-brown shade that evokes a sense of calm and stability. When paired with Armac Martin brushed brass pull handles, the kitchen establishes a look of classic industrial met with modern luxury and comfort. Creating visual and architectural flow. At the centre of the room sits a 3-metre island, designed not only as a functional workspace, but as a social and architectural focal point within the kitchen. An upholstered bench seating area completes the dining space, creating a more intimate setting for everyday gathering. A complementary in frame Shaker sideboard with bespoke banquette seating introduces further layering and detail. Upholstered in Starboard Stripe by Mulberry Home, the woven fabric in red, cream, and indigo provides contrast and softness against the darker cabinetry tones.  Natural Taj Mahal stone worktops introduce elegant shades of white and beige marble that not only brighten the cabinetry but also add tone and texture, which is carried right through to a hidden walk-in Butler’s pantry to provide a sense of continuity throughout the wider kitchen environment. Positioned close to the cook zone, a concealed scullery sits behind a run of Et Lorem cabinetry with discreet pocket doors. When opened, it reveals a split level walk-in Butler’s pantry with matching Artillery Ground painted kitchen cabinets, Taj Mahal worktops, compact sink area, and selection of built-in laundry appliances including a climate controlled wine chiller, and wall-to-wall shelving for everyday ingredients and supplies.

The property is located within the Culverley Green Conservation Area. Taking this into consideration, the proposed loft conversion and alterations to the property have been designed to provide one additional bedroom in the loft space and one small bathroom on the split level. The positions of the two Conservation rooflights have been carefully chosen to enhance the internal space, whilst lessening the impact upon the Conservation Area. Due to planning policies affecting the ceiling height and controlling the window arrangement to the bathroom, a high level eaves light was incorporated into the design, allowing natural light to enter the new space and avoids overlooking the neighbour’s property. Furthermore the glazed panel increases the height and the sense of spaciousness

The Myers Touch designed this transitional family kitchen which formed part of a substantial renovation project on a property based in Hampshire. Working in collaboration with Adam Knibb Architects to ensure design continuity, the owners briefed The Myers Touch that they wanted a contemporary family kitchen/dining space with a classic edge that would include 'a place for everything'. The design would also have to complement the rest of the home’s design scheme and make the most of the landscaped garden views to the rear of the property. The owners wanted to keep the L-Shaped kitchen shape that had been conceptionally designed by the Architect, whilst making the best use of the property's feature high ceilings. The finished design had to be practical for their family needs, yet elegant and inviting and fully accessible. The Myers Touch proposed a transitional kitchen design featuring a complimentary mix of both classic and contemporary cabinetry that would enhance the home fusions of these two styles. The design scheme was visually impactful and considered the homes environment and materials that can be seen throughout the property. The inclusion of sleek marble effect stone worktops and a traditional Black AGA helped to provide a Classic look, whilst the flat sleek SieMatic SLX cabinetry and large central island created a modern contemporary edge to link the scheme together. The period high ceilings also allowed The Myers Touch to include vital storage with attractive high level glass cabinets. Careful planning of the back L-shape wall was considered particularly in the corner. To maximise the space, The Myers Touch designed a niche to house the toaster, and smaller appliances that could be tucked away and were slightly hidden from view. On the back wall, The Myers Touch designed storage drawers to perfectly line up with the statement AGA. The use of glass and the reflective Bronze mirror also provided eye-catching elegance to the space, as the eye is drawn up to the ceiling, giving the illusion of space. The space also looks particularly inviting at night when the cabinetry lights are lit to provide a beautiful glow & warmth. The custom-made extractor was designed to sit flush between the wall units either side of the AGA and features high performance twin motors and a Zinc Clad finish to provide an element of drama and connectivity of the furniture choices. Sleek 20mm Silestone ex-gloss stone in Yukon were chosen for the worktops and a statement splashback gives a soft reflection and a warming marble effect. Continuing around the rest of the L-shaped room, the return wall displays Miele Cooking & Refrigeration Appliances that are housed in the same cabinetry that join the back run all the way to the end of the Island to fit around the architecture of the room. The kitchen furniture on these two walls use SieMatic’s SC/SE SC10 collection but Keith replaced the doors with a bespoke painted solid oak shaker style frame with stylish Buster & Punch handles in Smoked Bronze which were chosen by the client and Interior Designer. Special display items were housed in the glass display units situated high into the ceiling. For access to those, The Myers Touch designed a functional ladder rail which can be stored in a a niche space around the corner when not in use. To provide a softer and contrasting look in the room, Keith added a Dresser Unit to cover an old doorway which also acts as a transitional point between the kitchen and the dining space. For continuity the soft shaker style furniture is used at the bottom doors with open shelving that sit neatly into the dresser walls. The contemporary central Island was designed using SieMatic’s SLX Cabinetry with a modern Smoked Oak Veneer finish. The angled handle profile sits on top of the units, and underneath the worktop to provide a beautiful haptic feeling that continues all the way round to provide the illusion of the 20mm Dekton worktop 'floating together'. Since the Island's plinth is set back that also provides a similar "floating off the floor" illusion. The ease of use when preparing food and cooking, the front of the island houses the bin, sink, dishwasher and drawer storage. The other side contains storage for food mixers, freestanding baking accessories and overflow crockery. There is plenty of space to the back of the island for bar stool seating which is conveniently situated between cupboards that house oven-to table type items such as everyday crockery, place mats, condiments and napkins. The owners also requested a large Dining Table in the space, so The Myers Touch designed one using a seamless 12mm Dekton worktop in Bergen that sits on top of a custom made steel framed table support and legs that cohesively bring the kitchen, dining & entertaining scheme together.
