The Brief
Our brief was to design an eclectic, original and bespoke kitchen diner, living space and hallway with colourful and vintage detailing and Victorian referencesAbout The Project
This project was a true pleasure to undertake. The existing kitchen felt dated, dark, and lacked sufficient storage. My clients envisioned a bright, bold, and welcoming space that could accommodate large dinner parties and social gatherings, while also serving as a highly functional kitchen for their culinary pursuits. They aimed to achieve a unique aesthetic, incorporating vintage and Victorian design elements. To realise this vision, I removed an unnecessary exterior door, allowing for the creation of a spacious U-shaped kitchen with ample work surfaces to accommodate small appliances and gadgets. Above the countertops, I designed open shelving with integrated mood lighting, complemented by two hand-crafted solid oak glass cabinets, also illuminated, to showcase their eclectic collection of vintage crockery and glassware.
Rebecca Coulby
What Our Client Says
'When we approached Rebecca about our kitchen project, we’d identified some key features we wanted to see in a new kitchen, dining, living space. We’d seen some concepts and design ideas that we really liked but had no idea how to bring them together into a coherent brief, let alone a finished design that we’d love living with!
Rebecca let us talk, while she listened. She introduced design ideas to us to help her understand what we like and didn’t like. She took the concepts that we’d found, married them with what she learned from our discovery meetings and some of the questions she got from our personal possessions. The design that she came up with showed that she’d listened to us, understood us, but also helped us develop our own ideas. Very little changed from the initial rendering she presented to the final design that was executed.
Nothing was too much trouble and they always managed to deliver the small incremental changes we came up with as the project came together. What we got at the end of all of this was a highly original, very ‘us’ design that looked almost exactly like the original renderings Rebecca presented. Our kitchen is unique to us. We love it.'
