A dated, closed-off kitchen opened up into a light-filled family space with a walnut-wrapped island and engineered oak floor.

01 The challenge

Where we started

The original kitchen was small and cut off from the dining area by a wall. The clients wanted an open-plan space with an island, more natural light and a cleaner flow to the garden.

02 The solution

What we did

We removed the dividing wall with a new steel, re-plastered, re-wired and re-plumbed the space, then fitted a light grey shaker kitchen with quartz worktops and a walnut-wrapped island. Engineered oak flooring runs throughout and a sliding barn door adds a crafted focal point.

03 The result

How it finished

A bright, sociable kitchen-living space that works for cooking, homework and entertaining, with every detail finished by one team.
