Impactful Black Kitchen

Mackenzie Paige • March 11, 2024

Client Background:

Location: Fleet

Room Design: Kitchen

Client’s Objective:  Creating a striking kitchen space, ideal for entertaining, and fit for a chef!
The Interior Design Challenge:

The main challenge with this space was the configuration. We spent just shy of a year working out all the possible layouts within the space prior to any design work. 

 

My Interior Design Approach:

Layout, configuration, and spatial planning is always so important, so it is always the bit I tackle first! There were many different ways we could lay this kitchen area out. With the requirements being it needed to be large and suitable for an ex chef, it meant the kitchen area itself had to take precedent over the dining and living area.

 


The Interior Design Execution:

Having worked with these clients before, I know their tastes are bold so we worked to a bold colour scheme and choice. Creating an impactful and striking space, but one which will also stand the test of time too.

 
Design Outcome and Client Response:

My clients LOVE their new kitchen (and who can blame them?). The stature of it is inspiring and it has changed the way my clients live in their home.

Most people don't realise it, but lighting is probably the single most underestimated tool in interior design. Get it wrong and even a beautifully decorated room can feel flat or uninviting. Get it right, and suddenly an ordinary space feels warm, spacious, and thoughtfully put together without touching a single wall. With the longer evenings of May stretching well into the night, now is actually a brilliant time to think about how artificial light works in your home. You're using it more consciously than in the depths of winter, and you'll notice its effect far more as it competes with natural daylight throughout the day
