Et Lorem x Willow Home Design – A Refined German Kitchen for a Contemporary Barn Conversion
Set within the Oxfordshire countryside, this thoughtfully converted barn is now a modern family home designed for relaxed, elevated living. Et Lorem was commissioned to design and deliver a luxury German kitchen that would sit effortlessly within the open-plan architecture, offering a clean yet characterful focal point in the heart of the home.
We were asked to design a kitchen that wouldn’t compete with its surroundings, but instead enhance them. With the palette and natural flow curated by Jade Glynn, founder of Willow Home Design.
With vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing, the kitchen sits within a striking open-plan setting, wrapped with natural light and stunning views. Our design needed to fit architecturally within the barn setting, while delivering the warmth and softness that would make the home feel lived-in and personal.
We specified a Rotpunkt kitchen for its refined detailing and precision-led German engineering, paired with a palette of warm timber tones and textural surfaces that reflect the barn’s rural heritage. A generous island creates both a social hub and functional centrepiece to the space.
While a hidden pantry is often seen as a practical essential, in this design we elevated it to become a beautifully considered space in its own right; one that’s just as enjoyable to spend time in as it is functional.
The kitchen features a stunning Dekton-clad feature cooker hood, with open shelving to soften and add balance to the space. We used a combination of Dekton worksurfaces throughout, chosen not only for their soft texture and tonal variation but also for their durability and sustainable credentials.
A Lacanche range cooker introduces timeless character and professional performance, complemented by handcrafted Hendel & Hendel handles for a touch of tactile elegance.
A Quooker Cube tap provides instant boiling, chilled, and sparkling water; just one of many considered details that elevate the everyday experience. Every element, from internal layout to finishes, was designed to support how the space is used, without compromising on aesthetic clarity.
We have worked with Willow Home Design on a number of inspiring projects, and this was no exception. The final kitchen is a true reflection of thoughtful planning, shared values, and quality craftsmanship.

We replaced the island in the broken plan kitchen of our Wandsworth Common Family Home with a bespoke version with reeded door fronts. We also added sliding Crittal-style Aluminium doors, oak parquet flooring, painted the perimeter Shaker units black and added a large built in banquette seat

Defined by bold architectural forms and beautifully resolved detailing, this bespoke kitchen brings together exceptional craftsmanship and a carefully considered palette of natural materials. Statement marble wraps the island and frames the striking arched cooking zone, while sculptural ceiling details and a beautifully integrated circular banquette create a natural place for gathering.
Framed by marble, the full-height cabinetry conceals generous storage, with ribbed glass doors opening to beautifully illuminated shelving that keeps everyday essentials close to hand while maintaining the kitchen’s refined aesthetic. Every element has been meticulously crafted to create a space that feels both timeless and entirely individual.

This beautifully designed kitchen blends classic and modern elements for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cabinetry, painted in Little Greene's "Three Farm Green," adds a rich, earthy tone that complements the natural wood finishes of the island and parquet flooring. The large central island, topped with a durable quartz countertop, features a state-of-the-art Bora downdraft hob, seamlessly integrating modern technology into the space. Above the island, two large industrial-style pendant lights add a touch of vintage charm. The handles, a carefully curated mix from different Armac Martin ranges, add a subtle yet sophisticated detail to the overall design. Open shelving and hanging pots offer both functionality and rustic aesthetics, while large windows flood the room with natural light, creating a bright and airy environment.
