Open Space cucina e living: luce e fluidità Superato il cubo dell’ingresso, l’open space del living accoglie con un senso di continuità e leggerezza. Bianco e tonalità naturali dominano, con il calore del parquet a bilanciare la palette chiara. Il divano dalle linee morbide diventa il fulcro della convivialità, mentre le sospensioni sopra il tavolo da pranzo aggiungono un tocco scultoreo, leggero e decorativo. La luce naturale attraversa lo spazio, amplificando la percezione di profondità e rafforzando il legame con l’esterno. L’armadiatura su misura accompagna il percorso visivo e funzionale, creando un filo conduttore tra ingresso, zona living e cucina. La cucina è il cuore della casa: un ambiente progettato su misura, in cui i volumi si fondono con l’architettura e le superfici continue amplificano la percezione dello spazio. L’isola centrale diventa il punto di incontro, di lavoro e di condivisione, mentre le funzioni più operative sono sapientemente nascoste. La dispensa integrata e invisibile è uno dei dettagli che raccontano il progetto: uno spazio altamente funzionale che scompare alla vista, per preservare l’ordine e la purezza formale dell’ambiente.

We added a new Shaker kitchen and island with unlacquered brass handles, new lighting, furniture and tiled floor to the kitchen diner of our Dulwich Village Family Home project. Interior Design by Imperfect Interiors, photo Dean Hearne

Set within the former Royal British Legion Club in Bishop’s Stortford, this 18th-century Grade II listed building has been restored to its former glory and transformed into a luxury, modern home, beautifully designed, where heritage charm is blended with contemporary living. Dedicated local experts preserved the character of the original structure while introducing contemporary comfort at every design decision. Peter, the developer, and interior designer Helen Tigue worked together to create the wonderful layout. With Helen’s artistic flair, she finalised the finishing touches for this colourful space. Handcrafted in our Classic In-Frame Shaker style with a refined beaded front frame for sculpted decorative detail, the kitchen is now part of the newly built extension, where high ceilings, Crittall-style windows, and floods of natural light create the perfect backdrop. The cabinetry needs to feel authentically connected to the building’s history, so the Classic In-Frame was the natural choice. The additional beading adds a subtle decorative flourish without overwhelming the cabinetry, becoming a meaningful part of the kitchen’s next chapter. The ceiling was recommended to be opened up to expose the full height of the room. Designed in this spacious layout, the long sink run offers generous storage without wall cabinetry, allowing the timeless craftsmanship to sit proudly in the natural daylight. The central island anchors the room as a multifunction hub, while a dedicated range cooker area and nearby pantry dresser complete the space with both elegance and practicality. The result is a bespoke handmade kitchen that perfectly balances the building’s historic charm with modern design excellence, creating a space that is deeply personal to the family who now calls it home. Colour plays a defining role in this handmade kitchen, bringing plenty of character and individuality to the space. The main cabinetry and dressers are hand-painted in Pink Ground by Farrow & Ball, a soft, dusty blush chosen by the client to reflect their personality. This beautifully warm shade offers a soothing presence, pretty without being sugary, elegant without feeling formal, and perfectly balanced for a modern classic home. Bathed in plenty of natural light, the Pink Ground cabinetry feels calm, inviting, and effortlessly timeless. In striking contrast, the island becomes a bold centrepiece, hand-painted in Farrow & Ball’s Down Pipe. With its dramatic lead-grey base and subtle blue undertones, this rich colour adds depth and sophistication to the room. Down Pipe brings a fanatical zeal, grounding the space with a confident, contemporary edge. This daringly dark hue is ideal for a statement island, allowing the kitchen’s craftsmanship to shine while creating a beautiful visual balance against the softer blush tones. At the heart of this kitchen sits a beautifully unique appliance choice, the Everhot 150+ cooker in dusky pink. This was a personal request from our client, who wanted to introduce a touch of femininity into the space while celebrating their love for cooking. Positioned thoughtfully in its own dedicated section of the room, the Everhot becomes both a visual highlight and a hardworking centrepiece. The kettle is always ready to make a fresh pot of tea, cakes bake evenly in the radiant heat, and the family naturally gathers around to warm their hands while the meal cooks. Living with an Everhot is an experience in itself, designed to be the comforting hub of daily life, offering background warmth and a constant sense of homeliness. Yet behind its charming appearance lies impressive capability, perfectly equipped for hosting friends, preparing generous family meals, or quietly simmering something delicious throughout the day. To complement this iconic cooker, the kitchen features a refined selection of high-performance appliances seamlessly integrated with our handmade cabinetry. These include the Liebherr integrated food centre fridge and freezer, offering ample storage while remaining discreet. A Caple integrated wine cabinet for the perfect pour, a Siemens built-in microwave for convenience, and a Siemens integrated dishwasher for effortless clean-up. Together, these carefully chosen appliances create a kitchen that functions flawlessly for modern family life and looks beautiful at the same time. The sink area in this iconic historic Bishop’s Stortford property is a perfect example of how traditional craftsmanship, modern convenience and personal style can work in harmony. Positioned along the main run beneath the large windows, this zone is bathed in natural light throughout the day, an intentional design choice that allows both the handcrafted cabinetry and the high-quality fixtures to truly shine. At its centre sits the Shaws of Darwen double bowl sink, chosen in a generously wide size to support everything from daily family prep to hosting and entertaining. Its timeless fireclay design brings an unmistakable heritage feel, adding charm and authenticity to the space. To complement this, we paired two taps for ultimate functionality. The Perrin & Rowe Ionian mixer with rinse, finished in luxurious Aged Brass, introduced a warm, characterful tone and a beautifully traditional silhouette. Alongside it, the Quooker PRO3 Classic Nordic Round in Stainless Steel offers instant boiling water, an essential for modern luxury setups. Together, the workstation is made to be efficient and elegant. Filling the kitchen with thoughtful and functional design elements is our handcrafted cabinetry concealing a variety of bespoke storage solutions that make day-to-day life beautifully organised. Inside the drawers, tailored inserts such as spice trays, utensil trays, and cutlery dividers ensure every item has a place. All details are maximised for efficiency to bring a sense of calm and order to the kitchen’s workflow. One of the standout features is amongst the dresser: a cleverly designed pull-out dog bowl drawer at the bottom, seamlessly integrated to maintain a clean aesthetic while catering to the family’s furry friend. Above, bi-fold doors open to reveal a stunning breakfast pantry and coffee bar, making morning routines effortless and luxurious. Complementing our British handcrafted furniture is the Birmingham-made Armac Martin’s Sparkbrook collection in Aged Brass, featuring a combination of t-bars and cabinet pulls. These handles introduce an elegant detail that pairs beautifully with each of the beautiful cabinetry colours. The Carrara Misterio quartz finishes the worktops, a timeless choice known for its subtle, classic veining. This surface brings sophistication and durability to the space while allowing the blush tones and deep island hue to remain the stars of the palette. Adding a unique layer to the design is the green-grey splashback tile, which introduces soft contrast and a gentle hint of character against the pink cabinetry. The overall styling of the home further enhances its charm with selected wall art, sculptural vases, and statement light pendants with pops of colour. This kitchen is full of playful personality, where each of the pieces reflects the client’s vibrant spirit and brings an uplifting, contemporary energy to this restored historic property.

This elegant kitchen transformation in West Ealing was designed for a family living in a beautiful Victorian home. The main kitchen, island, and bar zone feature in-frame cabinetry with classic Shaker doors, painted in Little Greene’s Sage Green, while the island stands out in Green Stone Light, adding soft contrast. In the adjoining pantry, Jigsaw’s Ascot lay-on furniture continues the Shaker design, finished in French Grey for a subtle, complementary tone. Worktops and splashbacks are in 20mm Cosistone Carrara Classic quartz, chosen for their refined marble effect and excellent durability. Some of the family’s existing appliances were seamlessly integrated into the new design, including the fridge freezer, while RMK supplied and installed new components. All these details ensure the kitchen performs as beautifully as it looks. Visit our website for more kitchen designs.

From the words of our Director, Leanne, “I absolutely love this one”, we can see why! With its fresh appeal, this Letchworth kitchen project is the perfect balance of minimalist design, handcrafted detail, and timeless British elegance. The brief from our client was clear: to create a space that feels open, calm, and beautifully cohesive. At the heart of the design sits our In-Frame Shaker cabinetry, but with a contemporary twist, a square frame profile that introduces a clean, modern edge. The open-plan layout combines a galley-style run, a central kitchen island, and an impressive row of full-height cabinetry that defines the left-hand side of the room. Working within a light-filled setting gave us the freedom to explore rich colour tones and bold contrasts that visualise the architecture of the space. The show-stopping hue, ‘The Tobacconist’ by COAT, takes centre stage, a deep, 5-star rated olive green that exudes sophistication and warmth. It’s paired beautifully with Little Greene’s Slaked Lime Dark, a versatile neutral that enhances the depth of the cabinetry and balances the darker tones. Together, we have made a space that feels elegant yet grounded. Touches of walnut at the island add an element of natural texture, offering a moment of tactile contrast within the overall scheme. Along the main run, a bank of Neff appliances in sleek graphite adds to the modern aesthetics. The gas hob sits proudly beneath a Westin Prime extractor, elegantly housed within our handcrafted mantle, a design detail that nods to classic kitchen charm while retaining a contemporary sensibility. On either side, open shelving provides the perfect styling opportunity for cookbooks, plants, and personal touches that make the space come alive, feel lived-in and loved. The Neff fridge and freezer are fully integrated within the tall cabinets to maintain the clean, streamlined finish. At the island, the Caple Cheshire Undermount Ceramic Sink paired with a Quooker Flex Tap in Matt Black is a detailed combination, and the island also provides a natural place to gather. Behind the hob, the Denali quartz worktop and full-height splashback bring a refined sense of luxury with its crisp white background and delicate grey veining. Throughout the kitchen, we also integrated strip lighting to boost both functionality and ambience, illuminating every handcrafted detail. Storage is another defining feature of this design. Along the row of floor-to-ceiling cabinets, we created a breakfast dresser, kitchen pantry, and wine cabinet, each tailored to the client’s lifestyle. The breakfast pantry features bi-fold doors, integrated lighting, and a bronze antique mirror that reflects light and adds a touch of glamour. It’s the perfect morning hub, open it up to start your day and close it away when you’re done. The wine cabinet is another statement piece, with a dedicated wine rack, glass shelving, and ample storage for spirits and barware. Finally, the pantry cupboard offers smart organisation with pull-out shelves and a spice rack on the inside of the door, ensuring everything has its place.
