Home Design

CASE STUDY Client
This young couple were renovating their home in Cyncoed, transforming it from a dated 90’s scheme, making it modern and up to date.
Having bought a kitchen from us before, they were confident that we’d produce a design they’d love.
Brief The original kitchen was
dated, with a traditional door and inefficient configuration and storage. The client was planning to extend their home to include a large kitchen, dining, living room. The key elements that were important to the customer were; dark units, dark industrial tops, light floor and a coffee machine.

AFTER T
he first step was to review the floorplans, originally an extension was planned, however, it was
clear that it wasn’t necessary. Te client could get the space they wanted by reconfiguring the current layout. Tis would save them thousands of pounds whilst still achieving the desired outcome. Tere were several alterations to the design before the final scheme was reached, but the result ticked all the boxes and the client was delighted. Te overall scheme included dark steel grey units, with a black finger grip providing a sleek and bold aesthetic, along with a concrete effect breakfast bar. Te contemporary, industrial feel is completed with 20mm Dekton Laos worktops, which complemented the design. Light floor tiles balanced the dark units, liſting the colour palette and lightening the whole space. Feature pendants over the island bring a splash of colour and interest to the design, while soſtening the dynamic angles. An important element to incorporate was a central island. Tis would give the couple a sociable, practical area to cook and entertain in. Tis was achieved and storage was maximised, with large drawers

CLIENT A SLEEK, CONTEMPORARY SPACE, MIXED WITH DARK INDUSTRIAL ELEMENTS”
on the working side and extra cupboard storage on the back as well as seating. Te 2 in 1 hob and extractor was located on the island, this compact appliance is efficient, with no need for a separate extractor. Te configuration of appliances in the tall units worked well, with the 3 in-line, at eye level, including the coffee machine, centrally aligned. A large kitchen sink, along with Quooker flex tap is a very practical combination, the pull-out hose makes it far easier for cleaning around the sink and filling up pans. Matching the sink colour to the worktops is a great way to continue the clean lines in the kitchen, almost disappearing from sight. Te final scheme gives the client a sleek, contemporary space, mixed with dark industrial elements, it’s practical, with extensive storage and durable worktops.
