Modern Design for an Edwardian Property
For some, an imposing space is what they’re after, but for this couple, it was imperative that their new kitchen should blend in seamlessly with the rest of their Edwardian Property as part of the main living zone. And colour choice was the key to success.

Streamlined design
The kitchen was housed in a new extension which became an open-plan living space, making the most of the views of their south facing garden.
The clients appointed approved Mackintosh retailer, Kuche & Bagno with a brief to create a space that was sociable and included a large island.
With the advice from of interior designer Hannah Davidson, the couple settled on a more streamlined Mackintosh Integral kitchen in a similar palette of soft taupe and hickory, which complemented the rest of the space. They opted for a grey, concrete-effect Dekton worktop, resistant to stains, scratches and heat.

Supersized, clutter-free island
The main feature is the supersized, clutter-free island, incorporating the hob, sinks, dishwasher, a large dish drawer and seating. Hannah was careful to ensure that the island was non-intrusive when not in use, recommending a retractable Neff down-draft extractor. An In Sink Erator waste disposal system was also installed.

“We now live in this one living space. We love having the kitchen re-positioned to the rear of the house; it has made it much more sociable, which has been helped by having such a big island and we spend lots of time sat at it, rather than just being in the kitchen to cook”.
