    Like it! Very similar to my plan, but I am going with a very dark green rather than blue.

      Wow, what a transformation! Great job! Dark kitchens are the upcoming trend by the way :)

      Lovely. And the new floor really sets it off

      Fantastic job! Well done. Thought the original was rather quaint, but your transformation deserves a massive round of applause :)

      Thank you for your nice comment. The client's house was indeed homely in it's original state; our brief was to turn it into something more contemporary, open-plan, light-filled, and better suited to their needs.

      Love this kitchen. Very stylish and I love the brass gold highlights and cupboard door furniture.
      I'm planning my own kitchen refurb with a similar style of cabinets. Planning to go with a light blue / grey color though. Just wanted to know other people's thoughts on mixing brass handles and knobs with other chrome features e.g. Sockets, extractor and I have an existing steel splash back I'm thinking of recycling. Love brass but should I just stick to chrome to tie it all together?

      Ooooooooh that's lovely, although to be fair the old kitchen was nice too. How did you get the client to change from maximalist to minimalist and where has all their 'stuff' gone???

      Thank you! We took our lead from the clients who asked for a contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/living space.

      We also designed a new cloak room and utility room for them (as part of a 2-story side-extension), which has additional storage space for all the clutter associated with kitchens, and now houses the washing machine, tumble dryer and a second freezer.

      Thank you! We listened very carefully to our client's brief and were delighted that they were totally on board with the concept. Full credit to them for taking our entire design and executing the internal finish so beautifully.

      I like both the old and the new kitchen. The designers did a great job. The only thing that slightly annoys me is the "cheating" while taking pictures. I bet that if the old kitchen has been tidier, it would look better than what we see on the picture. Then the comparison between old and new would be fairer. Have to admit though I've seen worse "before" pictures, very obviously photoshopped to look dark and dingy.

      It really is a handsome kitchen, the burnished metals against the dark cupboards are giving me serious kitchen envy. However a good declutter would make mine look a million times better in the short term.

      Thanks for the comments. No 'cheating'; the before shot was how the client's house was on the day we photographed it, as was the 'after' shot - it was just tidy, not staged. Most of the 'clutter' is now in the utility room and in cupboards.

      That's why I put "cheating" in quotation marks. I didn't mean that you actually cheat, asking your clients to clutter their kitchens :)

      Preferred the 'before' with the Belfast sink & lovely wooden worktops, much more in keeping with a period property. The dark blue will soon look dated.

      Beautiful kitchen! Can I ask what worktop you used in this project?
      We are currently looking at something similar and also continuing it onto the splash back.

      Thank you for the comments. The house was lovely in its original state, however, the brief from the client was to design something contemporary (which, we know, is not to everyone's taste) but our clients love it.

      In answer to your question Leah, the worktops are Italian White Marble sourced by the client. Hope this helps...

      I really dislike the second kitchen. I would never feel relaxed while dropping in for a cup of tea. Destroys the inviting, friendly atmosphere of the first kitchen.

      Hi Angela, design is a bit like Marmite - always divisive! We redesigned the internal layout and created this new kitchen space for our clients as they wanted a more minimalist feel. They have achieved this with their choice of fittings and furniture, and with the way they utilize the space. They are happy with the end result, but of course, it's not to everyone's taste.

      When a before and after photograph are supplied I really wish that they showed the same area from the same angle to get a true before and after interpretation.

      The first is lived in and indicates the personality of the owner. The second is a blank canvas. Come back once the place is in use and the character will return

      Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately the photos weren't planned with a 'before' and 'after' shoot in mind, so the angle of the 'after' shots are not exactly the same - but very similar. The room configuration has also changed due to an internal remodel. The photo below is probably a better angle.

      hi. I'm a bit late to this so hope someone's still replying. How wide is the worktop, and where is the extraction on the hob?? I love the idea of the island hob but we cook lots of spicy food and NEED extraction. is there a solution?

      Not a problem being late.... and totally understand the spicy food extraction need!! We designed the internal refurbishment and our client sourced the kitchen and had it fitted. You could try contacting the supplier; Devol Kitchens for more information (quote Station Road, Kintbury project). Sorry we can't be more helpful... Regards, Jo, Orange Key

      Truly beautiful work but I feel that the two large pendants over the table where not necessary. Too many pendants now and the ceiling is not high enough for them. It would have been different with smaller shades possibly.

      An alternative would have been to use the pendant you have over the island over the table and used something like this over the island instead. This is the Long John brass spotlights fixture available on @hollowaysofludlow and you can find it in a variety of lengths from 1m to 2.6m depending on the length of your island. It would match the brassware on the cabinetry too.
