Handleless Traditional Mapesbury Shaker 94 & Other Rooms - Orsett, Essex

Renovating a home is not for the faint-hearted, and when you are a keen cook renovating a cottage in the beautiful British countryside, the kitchen is bound to be at the centre of the project. The brief was to create a spacious, open-plan kitchen for entertaining and cooking delicious meals from state-of-the-art appliances. Our clients wanted something a little different from the traditional Shaker and opted for our Mapesbury handleless design. When our clients now invite guests to their brand-new kitchen, they are part of the conversation. The island keeps everyone out of the way when the cook is in full flow, because guests are on the other side but still part of the chat. This hub has brought them together more as a family, naturally congregating in this one room. It is not just visually pleasing but also a joy to live in.

The space is equipped with a

with four burners, chargrill and griddle. This robust stainless steel appliance effortlessly integrates into the large moulding design, guaranteeing a cohesive and efficient cooking workspace. Above is a bespoke hood where a

full-height fridge and freezer, placed strategically behind cabinet doors to create a functional, optimised cooking area without compromising on the overall aesthetics.

Something that captures the eye is the booth seating that integrates into the island. Bringing together entertainment and relaxation, this bespoke island is featured at the room's core, where a comfortable curved bench wraps around a beautiful circular bespoke pedestal table, accommodating the entire family. We teamed up with Casabella Herts who designed the furnishings for the booth seat and bespoke dining chairs to match. Our clients have a love for green and incorporated it into their kitchen design. They decided for the island to be hand-painted in

to provide the room with a focal point. This dark grey-green really comes alive when contrasted with a warm neutral, and is the wall colour too. Innovative storage is seen in all corners, from a breakfast pantry to drawers with bespoke inserts.

Elevating the heart of the home, this functional utility provides our client with a space to keep laundry out of view. Designed in our Mapesbury just like the kitchen, the cabinets have been hand-painted in Rolling Fog to give a beautiful neutral look. We believe every corner in your home deserves the touch of exquisite craftsmanship, and that is why we design utility rooms that beautifully coexist with the kitchen. Adding to the functions of this room are

appliances in graphite, a

stainless steel sink and pull-out spray tap, and durable Heartly Grey quartz worktops.
