Project Description
Introducing another new stunning project. This time we were honoured to create a large open-plan kitchen and dining room in a beautiful Grade II listed building. The ceiling height and large windows of this 19th-century home called for a traditional design with a touch of grandeur plus some contemporary details. We think this project delivers on all counts!
The heritage of the building meant one of the walls couldn’t be removed so instead we made a feature out of it by designing an additional eating area. The breakfast peninsula looks a natural (and useful!) part of the whole scheme.
The Lay-On Shaker style of the cabinetry combined with the subtle colour palette is classic and timeless but it’s the details that elevate the overall scheme. Note the matt black Quooker Flex tap – an eye-catching contrast to the neutral colours of the worktop and walls and nicely balanced with the black peninsula.
The Hand Silvered Antiqued Mirror splashback adds a touch of glamour and together with the Range Cooker is beautifully framed by the mantle with large supporting corbels. At Planet we love a nice handle and these are no exceptions. The Antiqued Satin Lacquer handles by Armac Martin complement the Elephant’s breath paintwork and manage to look both contemporary and traditional.
As always, what’s behind the cupboard doors is just as important as the aspects on view. The interiors and dovetail drawers are handcrafted from Oak using traditional joinery techniques which will stand the test of time.
