A full kitchen redesign in Norwood Junction, taking a kitchen that previously lacked enough storage to create a stylish and functional space that my clients want to cook and spend time in. The brief was to create a kitchen with dark tones and plenty of wood, and I designed this with black fenix and oak veneer doors, coupled with splashback and floor tiles for texture. Here the layout was dramatically changed, adding in floor to ceiling cabinetry, open shelving, a breakfast cupboard and opening up the window by removing the sink and dishwasher that were previously here. A great project to work on. - Kitchen design: Claire Moran Designs - Main contractor: MPRM Design & Build - Kitchen: Holte Studio on IKEA carcasses - Photograpy: Anna Yanovski

At once dramatic and disciplined, this sophisticated kitchen blends the depth of burnt timber and movement of swirling stone with a functional clarity that keeps the space sharp, clean, and refined. Dark charred wood dominates the space; its warmth and drama refined into the clean-lined geometry of lay-on slab cabinetry. Deeply rich and exciting stonework commands attention as the island’s worktop, cascading in a waterfall edge, then reappearing within the cabinetry as both surface and backsplash. Minimalist hardware in brushed brass and thin vertical rows of warm cabinet lighting bring lightness to the darkness, while visually marrying the grounded timber to the fluid energy of the stone. Along the one-wall layout, a large integrated fridge-freezer blends seamlessly into the cabinetry, while twin Neff ovens are set flush at counter height to preserve the clean, uninterrupted lines. Full-height pocket doors conceal and reveal countertop appliances and dinnerware, leaving them out of sight but always within easy reach. On the island opposite, an undermounted sink with Quooker tap is paired with a discreet flush-mounted hob, while the extended worktop provides a welcoming zone for casual dining. The standout quality of this kitchen lies in the tactile contrast between the charred wood finish and the hypnotic stone worktop. The cabinetry’s deep, textured tone provides a grounding backdrop, while the stone’s swirling ribbons and colourful webbing introduce movement and intrigue. Together with the floor-to-ceiling windows which floods the space with natural light thus illuminating the materials, they create a striking balance of earthiness and artistry, making the kitchen as much a gallery of materials as a functional space. The result is a kitchen of dark modern sophistication with an organic edge, where bold choices in materiality interplay amidst a highly functional space. It is at once dramatic, composed, and undisputedly luxurious.

This project comprises of a two-storey side & rear extension to a charming 1920's semi-detached home in Monkstown, transforming it into a light filled, spacious and functional family home. Positioned on an elevated, mature site with a granite boundary wall and a north-facing aspect, the design used clever design strategies to maximise daylight penetration and establish strong visual and physical connections to the garden.

This new build apartment came with a white kitchen and flooring and it needed a complete fit out to suit the new owners taste. The open plan area was kept bright and airy whilst the two bedrooms embraced an altogether more atmospheric look, with deep jewel tones and black accents to the furniture. The simple galley galley kitchen was enhanced with the addition of a peninsula breakfast bar and we continued the wood as a wraparound across the ceiling and down the other wall. Powder coated metal shelving hangs from the ceiling to frame and define the area whilst adding some much needed storage. A stylish and practical solution that demonstrates the value of a bespoke design. Similarly, the custom made TV unit in the living area defines the space and creates a focal point.

Wow, I absolutely love the combination of the mineral green and contrasting black open shelving island in your kitchen! And those walnut accents add such a beautiful touch. Plus, the re circulating hob is a fantastic addition that completes the whole look. It's stunning!
