316 Expansive Home Design Ideas, Pictures and Inspiration
Creative Wood KitchensA full-house fitout delivered with passion and precision, this showpiece kitchen forms the heart of a wider bespoke commission spanning living spaces, bedrooms, bathrooms and more. Designed in collaboration with interior designer Celia Melvin, the result is an entire house tuned to the preference and styling of our clients.
The large, one-wall and island kitchen is built in traditional inframe beaded-shaker cabinetry, painted with a soft light taupe for an airy, timeless feel. Aged brass cup handles, knobs, and exposed butt hinges add a touch of heritage detailing. Calacatta Gold quartz worktops finished with a traditional ogee edge harmonise with the surrounding tones and textures, and is warmly contrasted by a walnut breakfast bar.
The central cooking zone is anchored by a striking French canopy hood and antique mirrored splashback, offering both visual drama and classic elegance. Surrounding this focal point, refrigeration, dry storage, hobs, and ovens are carefully positioned to support fluid, intuitive movement while preserving clean sightlines throughout. At the island’s centre, a traditional Belfast sink is flanked by integrated dishwasher and pull-out bins, streamlining daily use. Instead of hidden behind, the built-in wine cooler is proudly displayed along the front of the island beside the breakfast bar seating, a gentle gesture of hospitality.
An impressive, white-washed natural wood TV unit was made for the living room, kitted with doors, drawers, open-shelving and added bespoke details on the front and cornicing.
Another, larger TV unit was made for the house’s multifunction room. Painted in a sage green, it is packed with storage, and provides desk space to sit for study time or bursts of creativity. Opposite it, coats and boot storage were made in the same colour, featuring hooks, basket drawers, v-panelled backs and decorative wall lights.
Floor to ceiling sliding wardrobes with matching headboards and desks are all bespoke and handcrafted by our team at our workshop, including the cabinetry for the walk-in wardrobes, offering increased storage, better organization, and a touch of luxury to the home.
The vanity units for bathrooms are finished by a delicate distress-painting technique for an alluring finish. A traditional dual lever antique brass tap and small circular undermount ceramic sink from Caple, with stunning ogee edge again for the Calacatta Gold quartz.
Even the laundry room was designed and produced by our team, with its own circular sink and Calacatta Gold quartz, and washing and dryer machine raised at eye level for our client’s convenience.
We are very grateful to be a part of this stunning project, the result of which is a deeply cohesive home where every detail—functional or decorative—is intentionally crafted and seamlessly blended, with timeless character and modern comfort found in every room.
