In the heart of a picturesque farmhouse in Oxford, this contemporary kitchen, blending modern functionality with rustic charm, was designed to address the client's need for a family space. This kitchen features the Audus 945 Easytouch and 961 Lacquered Laminate range, with a striking Graphite Black Ultra Matt finish. Creating a nice contrast to the dark cabinetry are the Pearl Concrete worktops supplied by Algarve Granite. The textured surface of the worktops adds depth and character while providing a durable and practical space for meal preparation. Equipped with top-of-the-line appliances from Siemens, Bora, and Caple, this kitchen adds efficiency to daily cooking activities. For washing and food preparation, two sinks are strategically placed — one on the kitchen counter and another on the centrally located island. The Blanco sink offers style and functionality, while the Quooker tap provides instant hot and cold water for convenience. Nestled within the island is an integrated drinks cooler to keep beverages chilled and easily accessible. A drinks station is also concealed within a large cabinet, adding to the kitchen's versatility and making it a space perfect for entertaining and hosting.

The waterfall edge on the island offeres a vertical view of the Brachot Capri BQS quartz worktop. It is a lovely quartz with a fine marble effect grey and brown vein. These waterfall edges not only look great but they are so easy to clean and add a level of protection to an island that end panels don't.

Organic Kitchen

Moni Clayton Interiors

This calm, light-filled family kitchen in Peckham pairs matte black cabinetry with tactile raked oak and a dramatic green quartzite that wraps the curved island in a waterfall edge. Rooflights and full-height sliding doors draw the garden in, creating effortless indoor–outdoor flow and generous natural light across the work surfaces. The layout is organised into clear zones to keep the space intuitive and clutter-free: a cooking run with tall appliance bank in black, a generous prep island with seating, and a breakfast/coffee area. Storage is carefully planned—an illuminated oak display cabinet with ribbed glass, a full larder, open oak end shelving and a neatly organised spice drawer keep everyday items visible or hidden as needed. Curved oak cladding softens the circulation around the island, while the veined quartzite provides a biophilic connection and a durable working surface. Long black bar handles on the tall units add a refined linear detail; elsewhere, discreet detailing keeps visual noise low. A small butcher’s-block station and a banquette breakfast nook under a rooflight complete the room’s daily rituals.

Kitchen extension in Lee

My Extension PM Limited

This project involved the creation of a bright, contemporary open-plan living space through a rear extension and internal reconfiguration. The existing layout was opened up to connect the kitchen, dining area, and garden, improving natural light and flow throughout the ground floor. The works included a rear extension, structural alterations, and the installation of large aluminium-framed glazed doors to create a strong visual and physical connection with the garden. A contemporary fitted kitchen was installed, featuring matte black handleless cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a central island with seating. Flooring was installed throughout to soften the dark cabinetry and add warmth. Carefully selected lighting and minimal open shelving complete the space, resulting in a calm, modern interior with clean architectural lines and a timeless aesthetic.

Marylebone Mews - Full Basement Conversion & Internal Reconfiguration

The White Kitchen Company

This Edwardian home’s kitchen no longer suited the way the family lived, so we created a layout that placed storage where it was needed, kept surfaces clear and opened the space to the garden. After comparing cabinetry styles and hardware in the showroom, the clients chose our Shaker collection for its proportions. The kitchen uses three paint colours: Sage Green by Little Greene for the main cabinetry and bootility, Arras by Little Greene to define the drinks area, and Farrow & Ball Slipper Satin on the reeded-glass cupboards and coffee nook. The island began as a conversation about Lanhydrock House in Cornwall, where the family had seen a large working table. It evolved into a dark-stained oak island made in our workshops, shaped to fit the room and bring in extra storage. A curved cornice, CRL Verona quartz worktops with mixed edge profiles, and consistent brass hardware add texture and coherence. A wine fridge sits within the drinks alcove, while the bootility and coffee nook support the flow of daily life.
