TIMELESS ELEGANCE

KITCHEN DETAILS

Bespoke cabinetry with beaded doors and driftwood oak internals – handpainted in Farrow & Ball Mole’s Breath (wall cabinets, canopy, pantry in utility), Purbeck Stone (base cabinets, island, seating) and Little Greene Slaked Lime (fridge cabinet) – by Shalford Interiors, Longsight House, Naas, Co Kildare 045 528242 Shalford.

‘We’ve been living here for twenty years and this is the second time we’ve done major work. This time, we focused on the hall, kitchen, and TV room to create a streamlined feel with a lovely sense of flow between the spaces,’ says Louise.

Making use of some dead space on the patio, the couple took the opportunity to increase the width of the kitchen. ‘Pushing the kitchen out by a meter created space for the little nook, which is a lovely focal point. I love bringing natural textures into a room so we finished it with red brick.’ With 9ft high ceilings, the kitchen lends itself to a classic style interior. ‘Our last kitchen was traditional with white units and had a very small utility room, so we were able to use the side passage to create a more spacious utility off the new kitchen with larder storage, a second sink and a washer and dryer.’
