Drew Forsyth & coWe are proud to present this breath-taking kitchen design that blends traditional and modern elements to create a truly unique and personal space.
Upon entering, the Crittal-style doors reveal the beautiful interior of the kitchen, complete with a bespoke island that boasts a curved bench seat that can comfortably seat four people. The island also features seating for three, a Quooker tap, AGA oven, and a rounded oak table top, making it the perfect space for entertaining guests. The mirror splashback adds a touch of elegance and luxury, while the traditional high ceilings and bi-fold doors allow plenty of natural light to flood the room.
The island is not just a functional space, but a stunning piece of design as well. The curved cupboards and round oak butchers block are beautifully complemented by the quartz worktops and worktop break-front. The traditional pilasters, nickel handles, and cup pulls add to the timeless feel of the space, while the bespoke serving tray in oak, integrated into the island, is a delightful touch.
Designing for large spaces is always a challenge, as you don't want to overwhelm or underwhelm the space. This kitchen is no exception, but the designers have successfully created a space that is both functional and beautiful. Each drawer and cabinet has its own designated use, and the dovetail solid oak draw boxes add an elegant touch to the overall bespoke kitchen.
Each design is tailored to the household, as the designers aim to recreate the period property's individual character whilst mixing traditional and modern kitchen design principles. Whether you're a home cook or a professional chef, this kitchen has everything you need to create your culinary masterpieces.
This kitchen truly is a work of art, and I can't wait for you to see it for yourself! Get ready to be inspired by the beauty, functionality, and timeless style of this bespoke kitchen, designed specifically for your household.
Audus KitchensThis stunning modern kitchen on Sandridgebury Lane, St Albans is the perfect example of form meeting function. The client wanted an ultra-modern kitchen that would be able to accommodate their large family and their love of entertaining. They wanted an almost commercial and industrial feel to the space, and they definitely achieved that goal with this striking scheme.
The sleek lines and monochromatic palette create a chic and elegant aesthetic, while the brushed steel surfaces and high-end appliances give the space a contemporary feel. We used a combination of brushed steel reproduction and lacquered laminate for the cabinets and a Dekton Domoos in matt graphite.
The luxury appliances are from Siemens, Blanco, and Quooker, and they were chosen for their quality and ability to meet a busy family's demands. This kitchen is truly a work of art and is sure to be the centre of many happy memories for years to come.
Idesign Interiors (SW) LtdA stunning smooth painted Shaker style kitchen in the complementary colours of Farrow & Ball's Elephants Breath and Pink Ground was designed and made to suit this new build home in the village of Winscombe, Somerset.
The house was designed to encourage open plan living and the kitchen with its large central island reflects this.
The island was created for the family, allowing them to meet together for a casual supper or to prepare and serve a meal for a larger gathering. The customers were keen to maximise the island surface but didn't want to loose floor space. A sturdy gallows bracket was made and painted in the same Pink Ground colour to coordinated with and to support the weight of the extra deep overhang.

The Myers TouchThe Myers Touch designed this transitional family kitchen which formed part of a substantial renovation project on a property based in Hampshire.
Working in collaboration with Adam Knibb Architects to ensure design continuity, the owners briefed The Myers Touch that they wanted a contemporary family kitchen/dining space with a classic edge that would include 'a place for everything'. The design would also have to complement the rest of the home’s design scheme and make the most of the landscaped garden views to the rear of the property.
The owners wanted to keep the L-Shaped kitchen shape that had been conceptionally designed by the Architect, whilst making the best use of the property's feature high ceilings. The finished design had to be practical for their family needs, yet elegant and inviting and fully accessible.
The Myers Touch proposed a transitional kitchen design featuring a complimentary mix of both classic and contemporary cabinetry that would enhance the home fusions of these two styles. The design scheme was visually impactful and considered the homes environment and materials that can be seen throughout the property.
The inclusion of sleek marble effect stone worktops and a traditional Black AGA helped to provide a Classic look, whilst the flat sleek SieMatic SLX cabinetry and large central island created a modern contemporary edge to link the scheme together. The period high ceilings also allowed The Myers Touch to include vital storage with attractive high level glass cabinets.
Careful planning of the back L-shape wall was considered particularly in the corner. To maximise the space, The Myers Touch designed a niche to house the toaster, and smaller appliances that could be tucked away and were slightly hidden from view. On the back wall, The Myers Touch designed storage drawers to perfectly line up with the statement AGA. The use of glass and the reflective Bronze mirror also provided eye-catching elegance to the space, as the eye is drawn up to the ceiling, giving the illusion of space. The space also looks particularly inviting at night when the cabinetry lights are lit to provide a beautiful glow & warmth.
The custom-made extractor was designed to sit flush between the wall units either side of the AGA and features high performance twin motors and a Zinc Clad finish to provide an element of drama and connectivity of the furniture choices. Sleek 20mm Silestone ex-gloss stone in Yukon were chosen for the worktops and a statement splashback gives a soft reflection and a warming marble effect.
Continuing around the rest of the L-shaped room, the return wall displays Miele Cooking & Refrigeration Appliances that are housed in the same cabinetry that join the back run all the way to the end of the Island to fit around the architecture of the room. The kitchen furniture on these two walls use SieMatic’s SC/SE SC10 collection but Keith replaced the doors with a bespoke painted solid oak shaker style frame with stylish Buster & Punch handles in Smoked Bronze which were chosen by the client and Interior Designer.
Special display items were housed in the glass display units situated high into the ceiling. For access to those, The Myers Touch designed a functional ladder rail which can be stored in a a niche space around the corner when not in use.
To provide a softer and contrasting look in the room, Keith added a Dresser Unit to cover an old doorway which also acts as a transitional point between the kitchen and the dining space. For continuity the soft shaker style furniture is used at the bottom doors with open shelving that sit neatly into the dresser walls.
The contemporary central Island was designed using SieMatic’s SLX Cabinetry with a modern Smoked Oak Veneer finish. The angled handle profile sits on top of the units, and underneath the worktop to provide a beautiful haptic feeling that continues all the way round to provide the illusion of the 20mm Dekton worktop 'floating together'. Since the Island's plinth is set back that also provides a similar "floating off the floor" illusion.
The ease of use when preparing food and cooking, the front of the island houses the bin, sink, dishwasher and drawer storage. The other side contains storage for food mixers, freestanding baking accessories and overflow crockery. There is plenty of space to the back of the island for bar stool seating which is conveniently situated between cupboards that house oven-to table type items such as everyday crockery, place mats, condiments and napkins.
The owners also requested a large Dining Table in the space, so The Myers Touch designed one using a seamless 12mm Dekton worktop in Bergen that sits on top of a custom made steel framed table support and legs that cohesively bring the kitchen, dining & entertaining scheme together.

Imperfect InteriorsThis detached home in West Dulwich was opened up & extended across the back to create a large open plan kitchen diner & seating area for the family to enjoy together. We added oak herringbone parquet in the main living area, a large dark green and wood kitchen and a generous dining & seating area. A cinema room was also tucked behind the kitchen
Searle & TaylorThis open plan handleless kitchen was designed for an architect, who drew the original plans for the layout as part of a contemporary new-build home project for him and his family. The new house has a very modern design with extensive use of glass throughout. The kitchen itself faces out to the garden with full-height panel doors with black surrounds that slide open entirely to bring the outside in during the summer months. To reflect the natural light, the Intuo kitchen furniture features polished glass door and drawer fronts in Lava and Fango colourways to complement the marble floor tiles that are also light-reflective.
We designed the kitchen to specification, with the main feature being a large T-shaped island in the 5.8m x 9m space. The concept behind the island’s shape was to have a full preparation and surface cooking space with the sink run behind it, while the length of the island would be used for dining and socialising, with bar stool seating in recesses on either side. Further soft-close drawers are on either side at the end. The raised Eternal Marfil worktop by Silestone is 80mm thick with square edging.
The preparation area is 3.2m wide and features a contrasting 20mm thick Eternal Marfil worktop with Shark’s nose edging to provide easy access to the stainless-steel recessed handle rails to the deep drawers at the front and sides of the island. At the centre is a Novy Panorama
PRO 90, with an integrated ventilation tower that rises when extraction is required and then retracts back into the hob’s surface when cooking has ended. For this reason, no overhead extraction was required for this kitchen. Directly beneath the hob are pull-out storage units and there are further deep drawers on either side for pans and plates.
To the left of the island are tall handleless glass-fronted cabinets within a 600mm recess, featuring a broom cupboard at one end and a Neff integrated fridge freezer at the other. A bank of Neff side-by-side cooking appliances make the central focus and include two single pyrolytic ovens, a combination microwave and an integrated coffee machine together with accessory drawers. Further storage cupboards are above and below each appliance.
The sink run is situated beneath a long rectangular picture window with a black metal surround. Directly above it is a run of glazed cabinets, all by Intuo, with black glass surrounds, with one double-height to the left of the window. The cabinets all store glassware and crockery and they are backlit to make a feature of them at night. Functional pull-out storage cupboards sit beneath the worktop, including pull-out bins, together with a 60cm integrated dishwasher on either side of the sink unit. An undermount single bowl and separate half bowl sink by Axixuno are all cladded in stone to match the pale walls and the tap is by Quooker.
The feature wall is painted in Caramel crunch by Dulux. The bar stools by Danetti were chosen by our client to complement this striking colour, and crockery was chosen to match. The pendant lights are taper by Franklite.
