A personalised space

Nestled in the Herefordshire countryside, the Dorstone Barn was a project that came to us with a clear brief. Our clients loved their home but had outgrown the kitchen, a layout that no longer suited the way they lived. They wanted the space to work harder, with defined areas for cooking, dining, and spending time together that felt natural and that vision gave us plenty to work with.

From the outset, having a handmade kitchen was important to them. They wanted something that felt personal and considered, not something that could have been installed anywhere. The subtle grain of the cabinetry was a particular priority, adding quiet texture and character to the design without pulling it away from the clean, contemporary feel they had in mind. It is a fine balance to get right, and one that shaped many of the decisions made throughout the process.

A modern masterpiece

The Dorstone Barn kitchen was crafted from our Turin Collection, one of our contemporary designs featuring innovative push-to-open cabinetry. Our clients loved the modern design, but they still wanted to include a subtle grain to showcase the high-quality materials used in their handmade kitchen, so we hand painted their cabinetry allowing the natural grain to be subtly visible.

The main run of cabinetry is painted in 'Jupiter 070', a neutral colour from our extensive palette but our designers got creative by suggesting we paint one side of the kitchen island in a to create a unique feature. They chose a rich colour from Farrow & Ball, a deep purple shade that adds character to the sleek kitchen design.

The choice of a Quartz worktop elevates the kitchen's aesthetic, providing a luxurious surface that is both practical and visually stunning. The delicate veining in the quartz complements the cabinetry beautifully, tying the entire design together.

Take a look to see how we brought our client's vision to life and transformed The Dorstone Barn Kitchen into a modern masterpiece and if you're feeling inspired then you can request one of our brochures.
