Stylish Farmhouse Kitchen

Our client’s vision was a cosy yet grand space that provided acres of room to cook and entertain, as well as a comfy retreat to relax and take in the countryside views. The central island is the keystone of the design, incorporating appliances, storage and beautifully stylish seating. Its position also affords stunning views while cooking.

FUNCTIONALITY

The lower island allows entertaining and seating for five friends. It’s very sociable without impacting on the prep areas. All appliances are carefully placed for easy access.

 

MATERIALS

The island is one lovely big piece of dark granite, providing quality and grandeur. The units are painted maple, with accents of oak. Because there wasn’t a huge amount of light we made light furniture with ceramic handles.

 

THOUGHTFUL DETAILS

In a fairly low room we made units that didn’t quite reach the ceiling, giving the impression of extra height, while the false chimney provides a nice focal point at the end. Out of sight, oak trays slot neatly into the unit.
