MODERN KITCHEN
Interior Design Project Background
As life changes, we need our homes to reflect the new ways in which we live. For the owners of this home, grown up children with families of their own, meant their kitchen needed a total redesign and remodelling.
The Results
The interior designer approached the footprint of the existing kitchen as a blank slate, and completely gutted the space, moving windows and doors, including a set of sliding doors, to create a kitchen design more suited to the way the owners now wanted to live. The result is a U-shaped kitchen, with semi-separate relaxing area, so that the room is now multi-functional, practical as well as welcoming.
Practicalities
- Lighting was very important to this design, as the unit area is sited away from the windows, which are now positioned to benefit the relaxing area.
- A roof leak in the existing kitchen meant structural work had to be undertaken.
- Dark wood Santa Fé units from the BTHD Showroom are offset by a lighter Silestone worktop and limed oak flooring.
- A stylish suspended extractor fan has maximum effect for minimal area.
- The tap incorporates a water filter.
- A pull-up power unit is incorporated into the worktop.
- The owners sourced their own dining table and chairs.
The Santa Fé kitchen from the BTHD Showroom is elegant and functional. Its U-shape creates distinct cooking and relaxing areas in this kitchen, which also opens through French doors out into the garden.
An induction hob and pull-up power unit are embedded flush to the Silestone counter top. The Elica extractor adds a practical touch of forward-looking glamour.
