Art Deco Style Kitchen
HAMPSHIRE
The owners of this house near Newbury run a successful architects firm Fowler Architecture & Planning. Having worked for many years on their clients’ own projects, this dynamic husband and wife team understood exactly what they were looking for when they decided to refurb their own home with an Art Deco Style Kitchen.

Painted in a pretty pastel pink shade, it breaks up the cooler white in the rest of the room. The side panels have been inset with a notice board where papers and drawings can be pinned, adding to the sense of fun and the joy of living with a young family.
FEATURES
Wall panelling adds texture and interest
The client was really open to the idea of using panelling along the long wall of the kitchen. This has helped to deaden the sound when the room is full of rowdy children, and has also created visual interest and texture.
The chrome pendant lights and art deco vibe wall lights add to the funky look, with a hit of colour in the form of an ‘egg’ chair originally designed by Arne Jacobsen. Proving that a pale room can be interesting……
