Caterham Kitchen

We recently completed this kitchen in Caterham and it is really a show stopper of a room!

Our lovely clients chose to have their bespoke cabinetry in the bespoke Rye range, painted in Mylands ‘Oratory’. We love using Mylands as they are water-based low VOC paint, which is very rare in this industry. While it was not the easy option, we felt true to our ethos. We have worked tirelessly to come up with a method that makes using water-based paint both practical for the kitchen and eco-friendly.

These gorgeous grey veined volakas marble worktops and upstands pick up the cool colour tone from the cabinetry and adds dimension with it’s swirly veins. Our clients chose to have their upstands go all the way up to the wall units, something that adds a certain grandness to a space.

Probably one of the most spectacular parts of this kitchen is the cascading bespoke wine rack fit right under the stairs. This oak piece is a beautiful way to store and display the couples collection of wines. The workshop had so much fun making this!

An overhang was considered when designing the island to include seating for a breakfast bar area. This is one of the easiest ways of making your kitchen the social hub of the house. As we are bespoke, we can make your island / breakfast bar any shape or size to suit your needs.

The client chose a combination of our Bakes Pull Handles and our beloved Herringbone Handle in a gorgeous copper finish. These stand out beautifully against the cabinetry colour in a bold yet soft balance. You can find both of these handles in our Pantry.

The inclusion of bespoke floating shelving as well as glass cabinetry doors helps break up the run of cabinetry and opens up the space while also being a great way of integrating and displaying the homeowners style and personality.

We have seen such an increase in demand for utility spaces incorporated with kitchen designs and we can’t say we don’t see why! Having the cabinetry style, colour and fixings mirror the kitchen creates a lovely flow in and out of the rooms and a cohesive style throughout the house. The bespoke banquet seating in the utility room is not only stunning and dressed with the same copper handles, but also serves a practical purpose as a perfect place for setting down any laundry, taking off shoes from coming in and out of the house and garden, as well as simply having a chin wag with your family or a friend while you load the washing machine! It was also so much fun to make!
