Designerati magazine & awards Kitchen Designer of the Year finalist 2025

This project captured the transformation of a small, dark kitchen into a spacious, light-filled hub for family living. The new design blends contemporary elegance with the rustic charm of the barn, featuring a large central island for cooking, dining, and entertaining. Handleless timber cabinetry and bronze-accented shaker doors provide both practicality and sophistication, complemented by veined Neolith stone worktops and a statement splashback.

The design honours the property’s heritage with warm, organic finishes, including a buff limewash wall colour and exposed oak beams. The result is a beautifully zoned, functional space that seamlessly integrates family life with the stunning New Forest surroundings.
