A sage green kitchen in a new brick extension

A builder we work with regularly introduced us to this client. The brief was warm and homely with a bit of wow factor, and the designer was given a free hand on the layout. We project managed the kitchen and fitted it with our own team.

Warm and homely

The extension has a brick arch and a skylight that floods the room with light, so we kept the kitchen soft: timber shaker doors in a sage-toned Reed Green, open oak shelves and black handles.

The worktop is Silestone quartz in Ethereal Glow, and the island base is a darker shade to anchor the room.

Fluted glass and lit cabinets

The dresser wall mixes fluted glass wall cabinets, lit from inside, with open oak shelves. Fluted glass softens what's behind it, so you get the glow and the shapes without seeing every glass and jar.

A moulded plinth runs along the bottom of the units, one of those small details that makes a kitchen feel furniture-made rather than fitted.

Even the dog got their own spot

Under the coffee station there's a dog bed built into the units, tucked in under the worktop. Above it, a cabinet opens up to oak shelves for the kettle and coffee things, and closes away when you're done.

It's a good example of why we ask how you live before we draw anything. Designed around everyone who lives here, including the dog.

Walk round the kitchen

The island has an undermount sink with a black tap, and drawers with cup handles.

There's a Neff double oven in a tall unit, an induction hob under a canopy extractor, an integrated dishwasher and a fridge freezer.

And a utility to match

Next door, the utility room is in the same finish as the kitchen. The washing machine is raised off the floor, so there's less bending, with an oak pull-out shelf underneath.

It has its own sink by the window, so the messy jobs stay out of the kitchen. More rooms we make beyond kitchens.

Questions we get asked

Yes. A dog bed fits neatly into a run of units or under a worktop, so it has its own spot that does not get in the way. Tell us about everyone who lives in the house, pets included.
Yes. We regularly work alongside local builders. On this kitchen the builder introduced us, and we project managed the kitchen and fitted it with our own team.
So there is less bending to load and unload it, and room for a pull-out shelf underneath.
