Petite But Sleek

Moving to a smaller place meant the owner of this quaint Lincolnshire cottage was determined to maximise space without compromising on character. With solid 18 inch stone walls, three entrances and an unusual floorplan, this small kitchen presented the challenge of adding value without taking away functionality. With alterations to existing plumbing and electrics proving impractical, we made sure every available inch of the space was useful, utilised and fully realised. After taking careful measurements and creating a hand-sketched plan of the owner’s vision, we paired durable Quebec yellow timber with bright Beech worktops. Painted in Farrow & Ball’s signature Elephant’s Breath and finished with gleaming chrome knobs, we transformed this small space into a practical paradise. This small slice of period charm adds modern conveniences to a historical property with seamless style and a clean, contemporary edge. Photos courtesy of www.chrisashwin.com
