Softly,
softly
All the character of a
traditional English kitchen
is captured in this project
by Kitchens By Design
In an era of minimalism, it’s refreshing
to see a kitchen designed to complement
the traditional architecture of an older
home – right down to the smallest detail.
That’s precisely the approach taken for
this project, designed by Sue Gillbanks of
Kitchens By Design.
“This is a character home, and the client
wanted a traditional English-style kitchen
with lots of detailing,” the designer says.
“It’s the sort of work we enjoy – researching and sourcing appropriate materials
and products, so no detail is overlooked.”
For this project, that meant specifying
traditionally styled cabinetry with framed
panel doors and decorative mouldings
designed by Kitchens By Design. Small,
square dentil mouldings feature along
the top of the cabinets and the customdesigned hood, which has a concealed
power pack ventilation unit.
Other traditional elements include
butler’s sinks in the kitchen and adjoining
scullery, and a powdercoated pressed-tin
splashback. The splashback and cabinets are teamed with White Macaubus
cross-cut granite benchtops that have a
distinctive, yet soft veining.
Kitchens By Design designs and
manufactures kitchens in all sizes and
styles, including contemporary.
