Painted Georgian Kitchen
BERKSHIRE
We were commissioned to design a painted Georgian kitchen for a young family with busy lives, alongside other cabinetry throughout the domestic spaces of the ground floor. We worked alongside the interior design team at Salvensen Graham on the project who were overseeing the interior decoration.
The Georgian house is set in a pretty rural location, with beautiful gardens and surrounding countryside. The clients had renovated slowly and sensibly and worked with this distinctive building in a sensitive manner, keeping the original interior architecture, adding colour and form to the interior. Guild Anderson was employed to design additional cabinetry throughout the ground floor, as well as a bespoke kitchen design that complimented the Georgian home.
Pretty cabinetry softens this sink area
A prep sink sits next to the Aga, a useful spot to wash and drain vegtables
Natural light floods this Georgian House kitchen
Two lantern windows were added above the large central kitchen island and dining table, flooding the room with natural light.
Along with the Georgian inspired pale cabinetry colour this large room has a calm feel and is indeed the perfect summer space with tall patio doors leading out on to a terrace, complete with comfortable outdoor sofas festooned with colourful cushions.
FEATURES
Large Hand Painted Kitchen Island
This kitchen island is large enough to incorporate a multitude of uses – a seating area runs along one side of the worktop, creating an informal area to entertain family and friends while cooking. On the other side integrated recycling bins and appliances sit opposite the Aga, hidden from view when entering the kitchen.
There is a lovely symmetry to this space, something that is important to all of our kitchens and with a run of cabinets each side of the island, there is a pleasingly serene feel to the room.
HIGHLIGHTS
Considered bespoke details, such as small shelves under the wall cabinets, allow the client to display her collection of ceramics.
Sofa seating at the far end of the kitchen is perfect for the children
These Armac Martin Georgian style drop handles enhance the period look
FEATURES
Walk-in Kitchen Pantry
Adjoining the kitchen, set behind a Georgian style glazed door, sits an ample sized walk-in pantry; a wonderful ante-room to the main kitchen. The cabinetry style is the same as the kitchen, maintaining a link to the design, proportions and Georgian period of the main house.
An integrated fridge, large drawers, open shelves of varying depths and deep woven willow baskets help create a highly practical bespoke walk-in pantry. Our client expressly wanted to store a wide variety of produce and items within the room, such as fruit, vegetables, flower baskets and cake tins.
To access the taller shelves a bespoke oak ladder was made. It hangs neatly on the right on the panelled wall when not in use, while a peg rail offers hanging space for baskets and aprons.
