Bespoke country cottage kitchen Surrey
This bespoke country cottage kitchen was designed and hand built for our clients’ picturesque cottage in the Surrey countryside. They wanted us to create a kitchen with a cosy, inviting feel in a vintage style which felt part of the architecture of their home. We explored ideas and visuals together, before the final design was agreed: a shaker style in oak and a neutral palette with integrated appliances and period features.
Traditional charm, timeless quality
The bespoke, custom made kitchen enhances the rural character and exposed oak ceiling beams of the space. It’s full of charm, with plenty of made to measure storage and a practical modern range cooker. A shaker-inspired design was chosen for all the cabinet fronts. This is a timeless authentic style with good proportions and a paired-back look that works well in a country kitchen. The simple moulding we’ve introduced here, softens the clean lines and has a delicate classic look.
Bespoke grey painted finish
The cabinet doors have been spray finished in Farrow & Ball’s Purbeck Stone, an understated, calming grey; which is also used on the handcrafted wall panelling. The wide custom-made worktops in solid oak match the beams and provide a hardwearing surface with a warm feel that will mature beautifully with age. We have oiled the worktops with a durable, clear, matt Osmo oil to retain the natural appearance.
Freestanding island
We hand built this island to add efficiency, style and storage to the kitchen. The island has been spray painted in Farrow & Ball Moles Breath, a darker, warm grey which injects a bold contrast to the Purbeck Stone. Having a compact island like this offers ours client lots of flexibility in the kitchen, and provides the perfect spot to prepare dishes, mix drinks or read the post with a morning coffee. It’s a useful feature that is fast-replacing the traditional cook’s table.
