The Streatham Project

We recently completed this calming and beautiful space for a lovely family near Streatham. Lucy was the Designer for this project, and was in talks with the lovely clients since the moment they bought their family home. Luckily, they didn’t need to build an extension and had a beautiful room for a kitchen, but they did need to make the space more functional for their family of four.

Lucy worked on the design to extend the kitchen to give them more storage and worktop area. The clients were always set on a warm teal/green colour. Lucy suggested the tiles along the sink wall and Martyna our Interior Designer helped with choosing the perfect colours and finishing touches.

The client never wanted an island down to the floor, she always knew she wanted it to feel like a peice of furniture. At one point they considered a wooden island, but the original wooden floor was already laid and they didn’t want a wooden chefs island to compete.

Lucy loved working on this project, “The family were so lovely to work with and had great style already; they were quite decisive and had a good brief to work from, from the beginning. It was really good to be involved from when they were first exchanging on the house so we could get started right away on the design.”

The Details: Colours, Hardware, Worktops

The colour combination of Apple Down Green on the main kitchen run and the Container Green on the kitchen island from the Herringbone Paints range look beautiful together. As with many family homes our kitchen is the heart of the home and as this space leads so effortlessly into the open plan extension it’s a perfect place to spend time together and entertain.

The burnished brass handles chosen throughout the space look beautiful against the cabinet colours and bring in warm tones too. The kitchen space flows nicely and has storage everywhere you look from the cabinets housing the fridge freezer to the bookshelves on the kitchen counter.

The deep drawers and cutlery trays in the kitchen drawers allow for organised storage options for the family at all times too. The light and subtle low-silica kitchen worktop allows the light to reflect off the surface and make the space feel even lighter. We love the large island space for entertaining, and simple but smart things like the floating shelves allow the family to bring out their personality.
