A Bespoke Open-Plan Kitchen for Country Living


3 minute read

Crafting Elegance with a bespoke open-plan kitchen for country living - our Vineyards Kitchen. Nestled within the embrace of a country house renovation, this bespoke open-plan kitchen is a testament to the seamless blend of practicality and elegance. Designed to serve the needs of day-to-day living while providing a welcoming space for entertaining, this kitchen reflects the collaborative journey we undertook with our clients and their architects to bring the vision to life.

Honouring Tradition: Tailored Design for a Country Home

Our commitment to preserving and adding character shines through in every detail. Working closely with the homeowners, we ensured that the bespoke kitchen harmonised with the beautiful oak beams that grace the space. The result is a kitchen that not only complements but enhances the inherent charm of the country house.

Custom-Made Cabinetry: A Perfect Fit for Every Nook

Our approach is centred around designing cabinetry that seamlessly integrates with the unique features of each space. In this kitchen, we designed a recess for slimline storage cupboards and a large fridge freezer, maximising the available space and achieving a clean, elegant finish. The bespoke touches are not just functional but also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of the kitchen.

Integrated Island: Tailored for Convenience

Collaborating closely with our clients allowed us to infuse bespoke elements into the island. An open bookshelf for favourite cookbooks, a tea-towel rail on the end of the Island, plenty of storage cupboards, and a thoughtfully positioned dishwasher create a versatile and efficient workspace. Discreetly placed power points and the quartz worksurface enhance functionality, while the overhang provides a neat hideaway for breakfast stools when not in use.

Breakfast Cupboard Bliss: A Morning Ritual

Understanding the importance of morning rituals, we crafted a dedicated breakfast cupboard. This thoughtful space houses everything needed for a delightful start to the day, from the coffee machine to the toaster. Handmade bi-fold doors keep essentials out of sight when not in use, ensuring a clutter-free environment that can be effortlessly opened for easy access during breakfast.

Handcrafted Details: The Finishing Touch

The kitchen's charm is accentuated by exquisite handmade cabinetry handles sourced from Optimum Brasses. These bespoke handles add a final touch of elegance, providing a unique finish to the space that seamlessly balances relaxed daily life with entertaining.

Our Vineyards Kitchen: A Bespoke Masterpiece

This open-plan kitchen is part of our Vineyards project, which includes a walk-in pantry, boot room, and utility area. Designed by us in Shere near Guildford, Surrey, this bespoke kitchen renovation embodies the essence of tailored luxury.
