Would you be brave enough to go for a pink kitchen? The original kitchen at our Park Crescent project was dark and heavy, and felt at odds with the open plan dining it shared its space with. Not exactly the warmth our client desired from the heart of the home. So we designed a brand new kitchen that does the complete opposite, opting for a soft blush pink which has me smiling every time I see it. Swipe to the end to see the before!
The curved joinery softens the entry into the kitchen, we echoed that same curve in the marble island. Curving stone to this degree is no small feat, it takes real mastery to shape something so solid into a soft, flowing form. Curves do such quiet work, softening the feel of a room and gently guiding you through without you ever quite realising.
The marble carries round the drawer fronts on the island. It makes the island feel like it has been carved from a single block of stone but requires really careful alignment of the veining to achieve this seamless result. And then there’s that view. Cooking alongside treetops in the middle of London is a rare treat, and we wanted nothing competing with it!
Every home needs a proper coffee corner, and this one might be the cutest little nook! We had a bit of fun with those scalloped shelves in a contrasting red.
I adore the pre-scratched stainless steel worktop! The patina is already built in, so there’s no precious first scratch to agonise over - it simply gets more beautiful the more it’s lived with. Made from solid 6mm stainless steel, it has the same robust, substantial feel as stone underhand and has all the practicality of a professional working kitchen.
And here’s where we started! Dark, heavy, and a world away from the light and warmth we were after. Let me know your thoughts on the transformation. Would you go blush pink in your own kitchen?
