The Story
We were asked to reimagine a dated 1970s kitchen extension that sat awkwardly against a charming period home. The goal was to create a kitchen that felt connected to the house’s heritage while making the most of the beautiful garden beyond.

The Challenge
The existing extension lacked character and disrupted the flow between house and garden. It needed modernisation without losing the integrity of the original property, while also catering to a busy household with a love for mixed materials and eclectic detail.

Our Solution
Working alongside A7 Design and Luxioso, we focused on refining the interior scheme through considered materials, architectural detailing, lighting and hardware. The result is a kitchen that bridges old and new, practical for family life, visually connected to the garden, and far more in keeping with the character of the home.

Restoring Heritage: Renovating a 1970s Kitchen

 

We brought our client’s dream kitchen to life, focusing on the interior design to ensure the space felt just right. Our mission was to refresh a dated 1970s kitchen extension that wasn’t doing any favours for a charming older house and was getting in the way of enjoying a stunning garden view. We aimed to fuse modern touches with the home’s classic appeal, all while catering to our client’s eclectic taste and desire for a mix of materials.

In tackling this project, we paid special attention to the floor and wall coverings, lighting, doors, and architectural hardware to bring the space to life. We teamed up with A7 Design, (architectural shell and internal and external layout), and our sister company, Luxioso (kitchen, utility, and bathrooms).

The result? A space that’s been given a new lease on life, connecting effortlessly with the garden and enhancing the home’s overall ambience. It’s a perfect blend of the old and new, tailored to a busy household of seven and their Bernedoodle, and reflecting our client’s unique style.
