A Home Extension to Incorporate a Walk in Pantry, Separate Laundry Room and Open Plan Kitchen
A generous extension to this beautiful home in Kingston Upon Thames meant our clients could achieve all the additional spaces needed to accommodate a bright, open-plan kitchen space with a separate walk-in pantry and a well-appointed laundry room. The design of each space for our clients combines modern functionality with a vibrant and inviting aesthetic, perfectly suited to the homeowner’s style and practical needs.
Key Elements
On entering the kitchen, the eye is immediately drawn to the central island that incorporates the main sink, lots of prep space and a breakfast seating area. The bespoke design cabinetry throughout is a combination of Kintyre Ash Painted Shaker and sets a lively yet sophisticated tone. Great White, Wild Orchid, Little Green Arras and Cairngorm Moss are some of the colours chosen for their ability to brighten the space and work harmoniously together as well as creating a balanced and welcoming environment throughout.
Above the cooking area, an open shelf provides both style and practicality, offering easy access to frequently used items while also allowing for decorative displays that add a personal touch to the kitchen. Deep drawers, upgraded with oak dovetail detailing, ensure durability and add a touch of craftsmanship that speaks to the quality of the cabinetry.
To enhance the ambience, LED strip lighting in warm white is installed beneath the cabinets, casting a gentle glow over the work surfaces. The choice of Didsbury antique bronze handles and knobs adds a vintage charm, perfectly complementing the modern elements of the kitchen.
The countertops are crafted from chamfered edge Caesarstone Riverlet, a durable and elegant material. The draining grooves cut into the surface lead to a Blanco black sink, that is paired with a Proflex black Quooker tap, offering both hot water on demand and a sleek, cohesive look.
A sizeable nook between the walk-in pantry and the laundry room was designed to accommodate a coffee station and additional storage and could also serve as a home The laundry room is the perfect space with raised appliances, additional sink and storage areas and the walk-in yellow pantry reflects the bright sunshine from the large crittall style floor to ceiling windows and doors at the opposite side of the kitchen.
