Farrow and Ball painted Kitchens

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

We’ve been working hard to give the client that little bit extra without increasing the cost of kitchens. Farrow and ball paints have some amazing colours to choose from. One of our more recent projects was Farrow and Ball “Stoney Ground”. Our client wanted something different colour wise but didn’t want a hand painted kitchen so we basically color coppied the paint and gave it a spray finish which is durable, resistant to steam from kettles and cooking with a beautiful even finish. When designing the kitchen we were conscious that the kitchen would need some wood elements to it so we added a walnut island with curved doors.

The SileStone worktops are Blanco Capri. They are stain resistant, anti-bacterial and very durable. SileStone has become a much more affordable counter top for the kitchen and now competes with granite on a budget level.

Here are some worktop pictures of the kitchen during it manufacture. Not much to look at in its raw stage but gives you an idea of how thing start out!

We use an MDF centre panel when manufacturing painted kitchen doors. This elimated paint cracks around the centr panel of our kitchen doors.


Whats new in kitchen design

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Its difficult to say, every company has its own style when it comes to creating that dream kitchen.Painted kitchens are by far our biggest seller at the moment. In saying this, clients are looking for unique design features such as different colour islands, high rise chimney breast features and curved corners on end units rather than the conventional straight gable finish. Kitchen islands play an important part in creating the perfect design. There is nothing worse than a well designed kitchen with a boring rectangular or square island sitting on the middle of a kitchen floor. Why not build the island at split level. Maybe curved ends on either the work surface or unit ends. Solid granite worktops with a solid wood feature attached. You could also include lighting into the design, just give it a different look to the traditional island. Solid wood worktops are a really nice touch, they can really create the look you want when added to kitchen dressers or islands. Kitchen appliances also play an important part of your new kitchen. Gorenje have some very nice affordable appliances at the moment with some really nice chimney hoods to compliment any design. Elica have some amazing chandelier extraction hoods, they may not be the most practical but look great and add a touch of class. Larder presses can be one of the most useful storage solutions for any kitchen design – All the storage you need and a nice feature.
