In the historic city of St Albans lies our signature Lay-On Shaker style, offering a refined, elegant profile throughout the home. We had the pleasure of collaborating with interior designer Briony from Reyne Design, whose artistic flair and eye for detail brought an added layer of creativity to this multi-room project. The approach to colour, texture and flow of the rooms complements our craftsmanship, resulting in many spaces feeling both elevated and effortlessly cohesive. The design process was a true collaboration, with ideas flowing seamlessly between Briony, our team, and the client, each bringing their own vision and insight to create a truly bespoke result.
For the kitchen, the main event, we worked with a U-shaped configuration, although the worktops are designed in an L-shape, the cabinetry is built around the walls for an uninterrupted flow and to bring the U-shaped layout. At the centre is a generous island with a social spot and plenty of prep space.
The whole project was designed to add colour to the property, and the help of Plimsoll by Paint & Paper Library (a deep uncut blue) and Brinjal by Farrow & Ball (a sophisticated aubergine) were just the right contrast and drama for the kitchen.
Placed under the window is the sink area, a sleek modern statement in its own right, combining practicality with bold design. The pairing of the Caple Black Steel sink and the Quooker Flex tap in Matt Black delivers an effortless style with high functionality.
Amongst the cabinetry, there is plenty of our walnut signature construction, enhanced by thoughtful organisation details such as cutlery inserts, spice racks and integrated butler trays. Other details include solid oak chopping boards and a towel rail, stained in chocolate to elevate everyday functionality. One of the standout storage features is the walk-in pantry, discreetly set within the run of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that bends elegantly around the corners, and the pantry larder is the kind of smart storage you never knew you needed, but now couldn’t imagine living without.
Every detail is considered from the bank of appliances to the custom-finished extractor housing in Liquid Metal Weather Worn Bronze. This adds another touch of luxury, like the Santorini Quartz and Corston Milliner bronze hardware. From the hidden chilled drinks fridge to the exposed wine cooler, the kitchen island has it all, effortlessly blending a new level of convenience to modern kitchen living.
The Dining Space
The dining area seamlessly connects to the kitchen within the open-plan layout, creating a cohesive and inviting space for both everyday living and relaxed entertaining. This focal point of a bespoke bench-style banquette is carefully hand-built to offer generous seating and smart storage, accommodating a few more guests. Finished in the same Plimsoll shade by Paint & Paper Library as the main kitchen cabinetry, the banquette ties in effortlessly with the overall palette, enhancing the sense of flow throughout the space.
For added comfort and visual interest, the seating is topped with a striped, padded cushion, bringing a soft, tailored touch to the area. Hidden beneath are push-to-open drawers, offering discreet and practical storage, ideal for stowing away linen, tablecloths, board games, and so much more.
A solid planked oak table completes the dining zone, stained in a rich chocolate finish to echo the timber accents throughout the kitchen. It’s supported by industrial-style black metal butterfly legs, adding a contemporary edge that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the seating.
This warm, welcoming dining space becomes an integral part of this thoughtfully designed home.

The layout includes a spacious island, bespoke breakfast bar unit, and a custom fridge-freezer housing for balanced ventilation and added storage. Integrated Neff appliances, clever zoning, and seamless finishes create a kitchen that’s stylish, practical, and perfectly suited for modern open-plan living.

We designed a modern classic scheme for Sarah's family that would be practical everyday but also offer a social mood for evening entertaining. We blended smart prussion blue cabinetry and walls for a smart and connected feel. To lift the scheme we included soft white, ivory, warm wood, rustic surfaces and distressed tile patterns. We incorporated their existing dining furniture into a sensible layout, but up-cycled the seat pads with free coffee sacks. Sarah's collection of vintage treasures were used to beautiful effect in a curated wall shelf display.
A custom built and locally sourced island created the hub that they had always wanted.
