6 Interior Designers, 6 Dream Schemes
Murude Katipoglu from Design Stories says…
“It’s very important to us that our interiors feel timeless and the materials stand the test of time. We wanted this kitchen scheme to be bright, warm and inviting. Limewash walls along with handmade zellige tiles add depth and texture, while the painted cabinet fronts with stunning arabescato marble countertops and sink add an element of luxury. The large plaster wobble pendant light over the table creates a focal point, highlighting the beautiful oak table underneath, which is perfect for hosting long family lunches. Aged brass hardware evokes elegance and a dark wooden serving bowl from our recently launched collection adds character.”
Sarah Peake from Studio Peake says…
“This is an imaginary open-plan kitchen/dining room/living area suitable for a young family . We’ve combined several colours, textures and materials that play off against each other. Imagine a traditional kitchen painted powder blue with contemporary polished brass fittings which age over time and a honed arabescato marble top. The furniture could be fairly contemporary to help the scheme feel more playful and relevant. In classic Studio Peake style, we would layer it with fabrics and rugs to help the space feel cosy and give it a bit of texture. The botanical Josef Frank/Svenskt Tenn fabric on the large rear doors at the back of the house would make quite an impact, as well as frame and lead to the garden beyond.”
Designer Anna Hewitson says…
“I’m designing my own kitchen at the moment so this is my dream scheme. I wanted a more country look – earthy paint colours with a bold marble worktop and softer wood flooring and a dining table. I love these dining chairs from Howe, especially how the dark olive green sits with the reddish brown on the cabinets. I wanted to create something that would be easy to live with and timeless – yet still colourful and interesting to the eye.”
Natascha Dartnall from ND Studios says…
“Comfort is paramount in our projects, and this is especially true of a kitchen, since it’s the heart of the home. We love mixing the old with the new to add character, which is why we source lots of vintage and antique accessories which we stock in my shop, ND On The Green. The glazed display cabinet is the perfect way to show off tableware collections, or even everyday tins and jars for a more lived-in feel.”
Georgina Cave from Cave Interiors says…
“This kitchen scheme takes inspiration from a Victorian pantry, combining utilitarianism with a touch of prettiness. We love to use freestanding furniture in kitchens and instead of hiding everything away in cupboards, we like to incorporate units that can display various pieces such as plates, glassware and pottery. This stops the space from feeling so built in and allows it to evolve over time. The wooden floor and Paint & Paper Library’s ‘Horneblende’ – a favourite green of ours for joinery – bring a richness and softness to the scheme, and provides a brilliant base for layering on pops of colour through various accessories. The off-white Balineum tiles lift everything and add freshness, while the wonderful vintage glass pendants, with their frilled edges, mimic the pattern in the blind fabric.”
Rosie Ward from Ward & Co says…
"This design is imagined for a London townhouse. It’s long and narrow, with an extension to the rear with a glass ceiling and Crittall doors leading to a garden. The doors have encouraged a more earthy approach in terms of colour and style. There is a kitchen space with a large sink and hob, then an island in the central space with the lovely double Hector Finch pendants above it. Due to the room being quite thin, we’ve added some fitted seating as part of the dining space which is a great space saver, leaving space on the other side of the room for a reading chair. A vintage dining table continues the theme, as does a jute rug, while the cushions add more colour.”
