Here they are, the professional photographs we’ve been looking forward to sharing. This kitchen is very photogenic and seemed to look great from every angle, thanks to a great building work by @bumble.d3
During the design process we tried out different options for the main back wall; some symmetric and some asymmetric. We finalised the symmetrical design as it sat so well within this unique space, and also maximised storage. The reduced depth units mean the kitchen sits gently between the architectural features and also provide handy larder storage.
We relocated the kitchen from another part of the property - who wouldn’t want to look out on that view whilst cooking?!
What’s your favourite part of this room?

Yesterday we photographed a stunning kitchen in a unique space, and were so pleased to receive this review from our Client.
We worked together to hone their ideas, making the fridge integrated and adding a pocket door cabinet. The lacquer colour ‘Ambleside’ by @littlegreenepaintcompany works perfectly to bring in the garden through the huge glazed doors.

One of our all time favourite projects, the beauty of this installation lies in the material choice and balance.
Designed for art collectors, we purposefully left space above the tall cabinets and had only a shelf above the sink, to allow for artwork to be displayed and keep the feeling of space within the room.
The kitchen leads onto an open plan dining and living plan area, so to keep the furniture looking as sleek as possible we hid the ovens behind pocket doors and created a hidden coffee station.
The material palette of grey stained Oak veneer and stainless steel metallic lacquer bring interest and warmth whilst still feeling modern and soft.

You wouldn't think it now but this room presented challenges when designing. Our client desired an island to cook at, taking advantage of the light from these beautiful windows.
As the space was a little tight we tailored our process, marking out with masking tape on their floor where the island could sit, defining the island physically instead of on plan.
Wanting to bridge the gap between a modern kitchen and their property's period features, we addressed this with the material choice. The smooth lacquer door finish contrasts against the original sanded pine floor and the natural granite surfaces with a tiled splashback is a more classic approach.
As we all know, storage is key in any kitchen & the last minute addition of the reduced depth corner cabinet resulted in a highly useful pantry storage that our client loves.

We are so pleased to share this striking install. Our brightest yet, we just love the combination and character.
We used every inch of space within this apartment to maximise storage and utilise space, fitting in a @fisherpaykel dishwasher & integrated washing machine.
The gorgeous yellow is @craigandrosepaints ‘Jarosite’ and is hiding powder blue carcasses behind the fronts.
It is definitely brightening our mood and getting us ready for sunnier weather 😎

To celebrate Valentine’s Day we are sharing with you our gorgeous soft pink bar cabinet - perfect for any occasion, whether you’re celebrating with a loved one or practising self love 💕
This custom bar cabinet complements and contrasts the rest of the green kitchen, and is softer as you enter the room.
Cocktail, anyone? 🍸

We are pleased to share this fresh and airy #kitchendesign to brighten up your #humpday
We love the balance of crisp cleanliness and warmth and personality. Our client wanted a #minimal palette, #stainlesssteel appliances and pops of colour.
The carefully placed art work connects the kitchen and dining areas, adding the interest this muted palette needed.
Do you like a pop of colour?

Storage is one of the most important and discussed items in any kitchen design.
We love how these images show the versatility of tall wall unit storage, here we made the units less deep so ideal for smaller items such as oils and spices just next to the main cooking zone.
Customising units in width, depth and height allows us to make use of your kitchen in unique ways, designed just for you.

This serene shot of our #handpainted #shakerkitchen is actually quite deceptive…
Swipe across to see a tale of two halves; our client wanted the kitchen area under the roof light to be light, airy and ‘separate’ from the kitchen.
The main kitchen is the beautiful ‘Stiffkey Blue’ by @farrowandball which is contrasted with luxurious solid Oak internal storage.
Which side is your favourite?

We just love the dining area of the eclectic kitchen from our previous post. There is something about this mix of old and new that creates such warmth; the vintage chairs contrasting against the modern #microcement wall covering or the #ochre armchairs against the grey wall colour, to us the balance is perfect ⚖️.
👏 well done to all involved, @quirkyinteriorscouk @studio_segrue
Balance is key to all designs, and to most things in life in our opinion.

This kitchen is loaded with character; with four children and two dogs, the Client was looking for something with lots of personality and resilience.
The brass veneer island was the starting point for this, balanced with @farrowandball Black Blue cabinetry and antique mirror splashback to bring light into the darker corners of the room.
Swipe to see the before of this room, with the kitchen situated on the opposite side of the room.
Kitchen Bee specialise in spatial planning, could your project benefit from a fresh pair of eyes? 👀

These beautiful windows were the starting point for the design of this individual #bluekitchen, the island design gives room for the windows to be admired.
We spent a lot of time reviewing the storage for this design, the slimline pantry units around the windows give very accessible storage for bottles & spices, as you can see on the final image.
A modern classic hybrid; handle less, custom blue cabinetry is mixed with freestanding refrigeration, our Client's reused pan rack and unique choices of natural stone worksurface and tiles - resulting in a homely, neat installation.
Do you have existing elements you'd like to work into a kitchen design? We love adding character to our designs by weaving Client's personalities through them. If so please send your project details to mioko@kitchenbeedesign.com

We love this shot of one of our latest #kitcheninstallations in #Islington. A bright and airy loft space has been transformed into an open plan kitchen, dining and living room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Small and perfectly formed, every cabinet was discussed and designed to ensure our Clients have a place for everything, including integrated bin and waste disposal system.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Base units and tall units are lacquered in Etruria by Little Greene and the wall units are All White by Farrow & Ball. The Miami White Silestone worksurface provides a neat and practical backdrop. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This image is the view through to the living room from our previous #kitcheninstallation showing the custom utility cabinet on the right hand side and discreet under stair storage on the left.
A very deceiving installation, this modern, open plan ground floor is actually a very traditional #mewscottage in #northwestlondon. The contrast of the cobbled streets outside and sleek interior is the perfect mix of old and new.
👉 Swipe for the view of our kitchen & a sneak peek of the cobbles outside.

This #modernkitchen is deceiving as it is the focus of #openplanliving in a traditional #mewscottage in #northwestlondon . Completely renovated, the contemporary staircase splits the ground floor, with lounge area to one side and #kitchendiner on the other.
As part of a considered development, we worked with our Client to ensure that the #kitchendesign was highly #functional and #storage led.
A custom, double door cabinet housing large washing machine, tumble dryer and space for mops & brooms creates an all important #utilityarea and is a real luxury in this type of property.
The kitchen is understated but packs in storage and worksurface space, a tall larder cabinet with internal drawers houses dry goods, corner mechanisms mean even the hardest to reach parts of the kitchen are practical storage.

This close up shows the attention to detail within our project. The the plain white @silestonebycosentino composite quartz worksurface creates a perfect backdrop for the stunning walnut veneer and titanium metallic lacquer furniture.
Our client wanted the practicality and industrial aesthetics the @ilveappliances range cooker brings.
The original pine floorboards give interest and warmth, continuing throughout the ground floor.
