A Stansted Galley Kitchen with Inset Bead Detail
Situated in a rural area of Stansted, Essex, our latest handmade in-frame kitchen balances classic elegance and modern functionality. Inspired by another one of our projects and showroom design, the choice of a refined square bead inset sets it apart from the rest. It adds depth and structure to the overall aesthetic of the classic Shaker-inspired doors, a style that will ensure this kitchen remains effortlessly stylish for years to come. We thoughtfully designed the new kitchen into the existing space, which led to a galley-style layout with the range cooker and sink area remaining in their original positions. Each run flows right up to the walls and improves storage and usability, including a concealed recycling bin and dishwasher. The design focuses on concealed storage, while an open wine rack in the corner brings extra appeal. The aesthetic our client intended was neutral hues surrounded by aged brass accessories. We hand-painted the cabinets in
Little Greene Clay (39)
, a soft earthy tone with rich ochre undertones that enhances the kitchen's warm and inviting feel.
Green Range Cooker Retained and Framed
Our attention leads to the striking green range cooker, framed by a bespoke handcrafted mantle and complemented by a
Westin Prime 900
extraction fan, a discreet and powerful appliance. This is the epitome of style and practicality. The client's existing green range cooker sits beautifully within our bespoke in-frame cabinetry and seamlessly integrates into the new design while maintaining its timeless charm. Why update the cooker if there is no need to? Carefully designing the furniture around the range, precise proportions and elegant detailing were all in the thought process to enhance the classic aesthetic.
Villeroy and Boch Sink with Perrin and Rowe Langbourn
Opposite the range cooker and at the heart of this beautiful design is a
Villeroy and Boch
undermounted sink, seamlessly integrated with a
Perrin and Rowe Langbourn
sink mixer in aged brass. The combination adds a touch of heritage luxury, perfectly complementing the Armac Martin Carlton knobs and handles in aged brass and tying every brass element across the room together.
Aurelius Oro Quartz and Armac Martin Carlton Handles
To add extra depth to the luxurious features found within this kitchen are the
Aurelius Oro quartz
worktops. The surface serves as both a stunning splashback behind the range cooker and a practical worktop choice for the rest of the kitchen, easy to maintain and known for its soft gold veins and elegant aura. The art deco look is the subtle design from
Armac Martin Carlton
. Each handle features an elegant stepped edge that brings a little definition, and the aged brass option offers a timeless appeal, making it perfect for this traditional space.
Bespoke Storage and Solid Oak Dovetail Drawers
Among the bespoke cabinetry, you will find an array of tailored storage solutions that elevate the functionality of the space. These include bespoke cutlery trays and utensil inserts to ensure every solid oak dovetail drawer is as beautifully organised as it is practical. The choice of soft-close concealed hinges adds to the seamless and luxurious experience. It is a handmade kitchen filled with effortless usability.
A Kitchen Loved by All the Household
This kitchen design is a testament to expert craftsmanship, where our Classic In-Frame meets modern convenience in an existing layout, creating a timeless and elegant space tailored to the needs of its owners. Even the client's cat could not resist exploring the new kitchen. Instantly drawn to the warm, inviting atmosphere, he found the perfect spot to sit and admire the craftsmanship. Another true sign of a kitchen well-loved by all members of the household.
