Overview
Working alongside Hayward McMullan Architects, we developed the spatial layout and kitchen design for this private home in Leicestershire, alongside a bespoke boot room.
The aim was to create a cohesive, practical interior that balanced traditional Shaker influences with a more refined, contemporary approach.
Kitchen & Pantry — Classic, Refined & Functional
The kitchen draws on a modern interpretation of Shaker design, combining clean proportions with carefully considered detailing.
A considered layout supports day-to-day use, while bespoke cabinetry integrates practical storage throughout. The pantry is designed as a functional extension of the kitchen, featuring a sliding door and an oak veneer interior with integrated lighting, creating a warm and purposeful space.
Material selections were chosen to balance durability with visual softness, resulting in a kitchen that feels both timeless and easy to live with.
Boot Room — Practical & Integrated
The boot room provides a dedicated space for storage and everyday use, designed to sit comfortably within the wider scheme.
A concealed slatted door introduces a subtle architectural feature while maintaining a clean and consistent elevation. Bespoke joinery ensures the space remains organised and functional without feeling separate from the rest of the home.
Design & Delivery
Following a detailed survey and technical design phase, the kitchen and boot room were manufactured in our Nottingham workshop and installed on site.
Close coordination with the wider project team ensured a smooth process and a well-resolved final outcome.
Final Outcome
The completed interior brings together traditional influences and contemporary detailing, creating a home that feels both practical and refined.
Through careful planning, bespoke joinery and a consistent material approach, the spaces now support everyday living while maintaining a calm and cohesive aesthetic.
