The Kitchen Extension: Combining Style and Space
The Loughton project was complete kitchen redesign aimed at expanding the space for better usability and storage. Our team worked closely with the homeowners to ensure that the extension not only increased capacity but also created a seamless flow between the kitchen and the rest of the home.
Key design elements included:
- Open-plan layout that promotes a modern, inviting atmosphere.
- Custom cabinetry in a sleek, deep black tone, offering a striking contrast with the lighter countertops and overall room palette.
- Large island for additional workspace, which doubles as a breakfast bar, perfect for family gatherings and casual dining.
In this project, the selection of materials was pivotal in achieving the sophisticated look the clients desired. The visual in the kitchen showcases our thoughtful use of tiles, textures, and finishes to complement the modern aesthetic of the space.
- Cabinetry and Countertops: We opted for Hague Blue cabinetry, which adds an air of elegance and contrasts beautifully with the white marble-look countertops. The smooth, glossy texture of the countertops not only enhances the luxurious feel but also provides a durable and easy-to-clean surface ideal for a busy kitchen.
- Tile Design and Flooring: For the flooring, we used herringbone-patterned wooden tiles, offering both a timeless look and a textured surface that brings warmth and natural beauty to the room. The choice of wood-like tiles ensures durability while maintaining the cozy feel of hardwood floors.
- Pendant Lighting: Complementing the textures and tones, the addition of copper pendant lights hanging above the island creates a striking contrast against the dark cabinetry and adds a touch of industrial chic.
