This Steyning project involved extensive internal building work to create a new open-plan kitchen using Reed Green shaker furniture.

The Brief

This client approached the team looking to transform their separate kitchen, dining room and adjoining hallway into one cohesive space with a modern open-plan kitchen layout.

The new kitchen area needed to be a fusion of modernity and traditional elements to suit the style of the property and remain current for years to come. As part of the installation, new appliances, flooring, lighting, and electrics to suit the new space were required.

The Transformation

Before the excitement of the kitchen installation could take place, our structural installation team set about removing internal non-load bearing walls and doorways between the kitchen, dining room, and hallway.

The project involved plenty of ancillary works, making good walls with plastering, updating electrical points and lighting, as well as preparing for a new floor in the final footprint of the kitchen, and in the hallway.

Design Elements

Following all the preparation work, the kitchen installation could take place.

To best suit the open-plan style the client favoured, Designer Phil has utilised a U-shape layout with a peninsula island for the main area of the kitchen, with full-height units housing cooking appliances and a decorative space placed opposite.

The theme uses a Reed Green finish from German supplier Nobilia, and the shaker door chosen, named Cascada, is a median between modern and traditional – using contemporary matt black handleware for operation.

Wood accents are used throughout the room to soften the design. The oak finish is also used on the peninsula island as an elevated dining spot, but also for wall unit carcases and internals, as well as a worktop space below a glass fronted unit.

The wood finish teams well with sparkling Himalaya quartz work surfaces which are used throughout the kitchen space.

Special Inclusions

To accompany the new kitchen, a complete collection of appliances were sought with the client opting for several high-specification Neff models. A venting induction hob has been placed in the U-shape of the kitchen, while a combination oven, Slide & Hide single oven, and 30cm warming drawer are built into furniture.

A Neff fridge-freezer and dishwasher are also integrated behind furniture, and near the rear doorway a Dunavox 30cm wine cabinet has also been installed. Above a Blanco quartz-infused sink, a Quooker boiling water tap has been fitted in a Matt Black finish that matches other elements of this design.

As part of the project lighting to suit the open plan area was required. Downlights have been installed in the ceiling, with undercabinet spotlights installed too, as well as smaller downlights fitted into a glass fronted unit – each adding ambience and further illumination to the new kitchen.

The new space is warmed by new flooring from British brand Karndean, chosen in a Warm Brushed Oak finish to nicely tie in all elements of this project.

Project Highlight

The focal point and highlight of this space is the peninsula island, which the clients sought to include as a multi-functional space to eat, entertain, or simply perch while taking a break from cooking.

The rounded oak work surface installed atop, adds a nice softening element to the design and combines nicely with the quartz work surfaces and other wood accents.

The End Result

This project is a befitting example of the mammoth transformation that our in-house installers are able to make to a property. With many trades combining, this client has seen their property updated to suit modern open-plan living with a contemporary theme that will remain current for many years to come.
