Step inside an eclectic painted and wooden kitchen

Some of the base cabinetry has been painted in a bold blue colour, while the units over the sink have been enhanced with wrought-iron oak leaves. The natural images were inspired by the timbers in the design.

The range cooker is flanked by cupboards painted in a light cobalt blue with suitcase-style walnut handles, while a suspended circular oak rack keeps utensils handy when cooking. Above, an extractor mirrors the cooker and a granite splashback protects the upstand.

An elegant sycamore barrel cupboard has been painted with two bands of oak leaves and contains plenty of storage space, as well as handy pull-out drawers. It also serves to demarcate the working zone and dining area of the room.

Hand-crafted oak leaves add interest to the frosted glass and oak-fronted cupboards.

A walnut-topped curvy bench with flanking oak, iron and walnut box cupboards forms a cosy window seat with burr ash doors underneath.

Here, this storage system conceals two chopping boards, one of which is kept specifically for chopping pungent ingredients, such as garlic and onions.

An ingenious waste disposal drawer, below the oak butcher’s block, is lined with stainless steel. It tapers down at the back into a chute so that vegetable peelings and waste can be disposed of easily.
