The kitchen runs from front to back of this large family house, with windows to three sides making it extremely light and bright. There is a run of units down each side of the room with a large rectangular island in the centre, emphasising the clean lines and linearity of the space. The cabinetry in a combination of grey oak veneer and cream gloss lacquer adds contrast in both colour and texture. The cream gloss lacquer on the cupboard doors also reflects the abundant light, as does the bronze mirror above the upstands. The linearity of the room is further emphasised by the strong vertical and horizontal divisions formed by the burnished metal plinths and golas. The cooking appliances form a horizontal row to one side of the kitchen where they are housed within columns, echoing the island. The island has a stone work top in off white, and vertical stone strips that contrast with the grey oak of the cabinets. The hob and downdraft extractor are sited on the island, with a bespoke frosted glass breakfast table at one end. The difference in height of this table breaks up the angularity of the design. On the opposite wall there is another line of base and wall units and the sink. Here, the wall units are set onto wooden back boards, which again emphasise the linearity of the design. Between the wooden backboards and the 300mm stone upstands, bronze mirrors reflecting even more light.

These 1990's white cabinets are very high end but they needed some new granite and a switch in the base color to a putty colored cream with a taupe glaze detailing to tie them in with the new cream and brown granite (the old granite not pictured here was pink, white and gray). The entire palate came from the already existing back splash.

When Charles Wainwright was renovating an impressive period property bordering Clapham Common, he knew that the best people to turn to in order to create exactly the look he wanted for its spacious kitchen were award-winning bespoke specialists Mowlem & Co. “We wanted a very grand looking kitchen to suit the high ceilings, but we wanted a classical look without it being too ‘Shaker’ or old-fashioned. A modern, high gloss or minimalist style would have been wrong for the overall feel we were trying to create with this property. However we did not want anything fussy or too traditional. It was important to work with a company that could take into account a room that was a slightly challenging shape. And while we went for the ‘hand-made look,’ we knew we would also be getting expert quality. We are thrilled with the result!” Designer Jane Stewart says, “It is an incredibly imposing and spacious property with a wealth of its own character and elegance. The brief was for a functional yet subtle kitchen that would work equally well for both family use and as the perfect place to host dinner parties and occasions. What I had in mind immediately was something pure - something that did not interrupt the amazing architecture of the room, the windows and the ceiling height. The room really demanded something proportionate to its grandeur but not overpowering in either colour or design.” Jane realised this vision with a hand-painted, solid-framed kitchen with steel square grip handles, crowned with sleek composite quartz tops. The beauty is not only skin deep, however, solid walnut drawer boxes and cabinet interiors create a chic contrast to the fashionably ‘pale and interesting’ colour choice for the overall room and furniture. As classic as this design appears, it is not short on the very best of contemporary functionality. A Gaggenau induction hob is flush fitted into the countertop of the island unit, along with a pop-up Elica Adagio down draft extractor, while a Miele oven and combi micro are wall mounted within easy reach of a large stainless steel Sterling sink with a Franke Olympus tap. The Gaggenau fridge and freezer, plus a Miele dishwasher are subtly built-in behind the vanilla cream units. There is also a pop-up socket on the island unit for easy use of extra electrical equipment. Jane is justifiably very proud of this design, “the serenity of this room is overwhelming. Pale wood wide-board flooring and carefully selected lighting add to the effect. We spent a long time with Charles deciding in which room and, in fact on, which floor the kitchen should be - the final consensus was, we wholeheartedly believe, the right one. The room opens up in to the most elegant dining area, with light flooding between the space, but this also meant that every millimetre of workspace and cabinet storage within the kitchen area needed to be maximised.”
