Counterweigh '20
This contemporary-country kitchen, painted in a rich, dark green, is accented by a handmade oak breakfast bar, and elevated with luxury brass hardware.
In-frame Shaker doors and slab drawers are finished in Farrow & Ball’s deepest dark Studio Green, paired with Cambria Swanbridge quartz worktops and polished brass handles from Armac Martin for a bold yet refined contrast.
A wall of tall cabinetry consolidates dry, cool, and frozen storage, while positioning two ovens at eye level for ease and efficiency. A Villeroy & Boch Belfast sink introduces a country note, complemented by a Quooker boiling water tap custom-finished by Yardley Bespoke to match the hardware. The discreet downdraft extractor allows uninterrupted sightlines across the space. The kitchen additionally features pullout spice-racks and integrated pullout cutting boards for that added bespoke functionality.
Designed to the client’s brief, the oversized oak breakfast bar features a waterfall edge that wraps the back of the peninsula, providing both a raised seating area and a clever visual screen between the kitchen’s worktops at work and living zones. V-groove panelling, open shelving, a wine cooler, and hidden push-to-open drawers complete the peninsula as an impressive output of craftmanship it its own right.
The finished kitchen manages to strike a confident balance between rural charm and contemporary edge—carrying just the right amount of traditional charm and tactile warmth into the 21st century.
