Take a look around this chic walnut kitchen

Before the owners got their hands on this home, the kitchen was small and not conducive to family life or entertaining.  After knocking through to a Victorian lean-to, this delicious and spacious dark-wood kitchen offers a practical layout, with space to cook, entertain and relax.

1/8 Kitchen view

The kitchen design and cabinetry was supplied by Crabtree.

2/8 Open plan sink area

Every inch of space is utilised in this kitchen, with a coffee machine built into the cabinetry, creating more useable worktop space.

3/8 Drinks cabinet

The owners were keen for the cabinetry to look more like furniture than kitchen units, and this freestanding dresser in a similar style helps continue the traditional feel. The dresser provides useful storage space, and the cupboard at the bottom serves as a handy drinks cabinet.

4/8 Dresser cabinet

This freestanding dark-wood dresser matches the cabinetry perfectly, and the Rennie Macintosh-style stained-glass windows add a flash of colour and pattern. 

All the cabinet handles are crafted from pewter and are made by Finesse. The Basalt grey flooring from the Tile & Design Studio adds beautiful contrast to the walnut cabinetry.

5/8 Larder storage

Style and practicality are key in this kitchen, where the larder combines handy shelves and pull-out drawers for effective and easy-to-access storage. 

Elegant stained glass cabinet doors frame a traditional canopy-style cooker hood from Gaggenau.

6/8 Clever corner cupboards

This kitchen cleverly uses all available space by adding corner cupboards that fold right back into hard-to-reach areas.  Surfaces are kept clean and free from clutter, leaving appliances like this DeLonghi toaster to make a punchy statement on the speckled granite worksurface.

7/8 Double oven

This tall walnut cabinet houses a multifunction oven, a steam oven, and a handy warming drawer.  Double doors conceal a spacious fridge freezer with added storage for pots and pans.

Both ovens and the warming drawer are from Siemens, and the fully integrated fridge-freezer comes from Liebherr.

8/8 Hob and work surfaces

The discreet cooker hood is housed in a traditional canopy that suits the style and grandeur of this room. A simple induction hob nestles in the sleek grey worktop, while a simple microwave is built into the wall units, further maximising worktop space.

Both the microwave and induction hob can be found at Siemens.
