Kippington Kitchen, Utility & Boot-room
The Design
We recently completed this gorgeous bespoke kitchen, utility and boot-room area for a family near Sevenoaks. The design includes a long run of cabinetry, a large kitchen island and a fantastic corner unit as a pantry. The cabinetry for the project is in our traditional range ‘The Westminster’.
The main run includes a variety of cabinetry styles including bottom and wall units, as well as a countertop, glass unit and floor to ceiling frame for the American fridge freezer with the addition of two built in wine racks overhead. The kitchen island features drawers on one side for maximum storage, while on the ‘front facing’ side, are two open shelves displaying cookbooks, a small wine cooler and enough space for 4 around the end.
The Details: Colours, Hardware, Worktops Etc
The bespoke cabinetry was hand-painted in a gorgeous off white colour while the kitchen island in a moody denim blue. The inside of the units are all oak, with details like the dovetail drawer joints and traditional zig-zag shelve support in the corner pantry. The bifold doors on the countertop glassware cupboard / coffee station are an excellent choice keeping the space feeling open and spacious while you make your morning brew, while the glass shelves add a modern edge to the kitchen.
For their hardware, our clients chose the ‘Withenshaw Pull’ on their drawers, matching ‘Withenshaw Knobs’ on their cupboards and the ‘Bakes Pull’ on the pantry door all in a burnished brass finish, keeping it simple and elegant. The worktops and upstands on both the main run and the kitchen island are a beautiful, lightly veined polished quartz in the colour ‘Verona’. Making the countertops a light colour and polished creates a stunning reflection of light making the kitchen feel a lot bigger.
This pantry unit is truly a little miracle! Designer, David and our clients worked together to design a floor to ceiling pantry unit that made use of that corner of the room, without creating any awkward movement. This semi-hexagonal unit houses 6 L shaped shelves total, including 5 oak and one quartz cold shelf. A matching oak spice rack also resides on the inside of the pantry door and at the width of the door is quite a show stopper!

The quartz worktops in the colour ‘Verona’ were also taken up the wall behind the range as a gorgeous splashback.
The Utility & Boot-room
Just around the corner, lies a sweet surprise! A utility and boot-room tied into one, matching the kitchen cabinetry joining the rooms beautifully.
