West Bagborough

A kitchen and pantry in oak, elm and paint.

Kitchen & pantry

Timber, paint and a place to gather.

Oak, elm and paint bring different textures to this kitchen and pantry. Beneath the exposed beams, a long elm-topped island sits between pale painted cabinets and a deep red cupboard.

With children ranging from babies to teenagers, the family wanted separate fridges behind the red doors so they could keep food for different ages apart. The dishwasher drawers sit either side of the sink. The family take clean plates from one and put them straight into the other after a meal.

Welsh slate is used around the sinks and cooking areas. Open plate racks, glazed cupboards and timber storage fittings make room for the things used every day.

01 / Kitchen

A long island at the centre.

Painted drawers sit beneath the elm worktop, with open space below. Along the window wall, plate racks and glazed cupboards keep crockery close to hand.

02 / Cupboard & pantry

Colour and everyday storage.

The deep red cupboard gives the kitchen a distinct point of colour. In the pantry, open shelves, wicker baskets and a sink beneath the window keep storage simple and accessible.

03 / Storage & details

Considered inside and out.

Pull-out bottle storage and swing-out corner shelves make use of the space within the cabinetry. Timber plate dividers, glazed doors and brass knobs complete the everyday details.
