Leading UK interior design specialists, Brandt Design, bring form and function to this deluxe London home, by creating an inviting open-plan kitchen living space designed for cooking, dining and entertaining.
In fact, home entertaining was the order of the day for this new build property in Chislehurst, South East London as the property owners created their forever home. Within easy commuting distance to Charing Cross this leafy suburb within the M25 is well-placed for the beautiful Kent countryside, as well as the bright lights of the Capital.
Brandt Design were delighted to assist the homeowners in their desire to create an elegant contemporary kitchen, commissioned to design a space for family cooking, as well as wine tasting and enjoying cocktails with family and friends. With this in mind, Brandt Design specified a bespoke kitchen and bar arrangement in Urban Grey Wild Oak Furniture with custom satin brass design elements and white veined Neolith Estatuario marble surfaces. The combination of light wood met with quality raw materials completely sets the tone in this sophisticated kitchen extension, as well as reflect the unique nature of this modern family home.
The grand kitchen island seats four in comfort with ample storage space on the working side so that the hosts can rustle up a feast using the latest integrated appliances such as twin ovens and a discreet warming drawer, which is more efficient at keeping cooked food warm and create a dedicated place to keep plates warm while entertaining.
Fresh produce is easily stored in the built-in fridge drawers, and these sit within easy-reach of the chef, just beneath the supersized flush-mounted glass induction hob complete with integrated extractor to prevent cooking vapours from spreading throughout the room and bothering guests. Designed with a large 53L capacity one bowl sink, the wet zone makes it a breeze for the homeowners to wash multiple dishes at the same time. And a pair of brushed gold kitchen taps add to its practical luxury, offering a standard mixer tap alongside an all-in-one model with an amazing five water options: filtered boiling, chilled and sparkling water, alongside unfiltered hot and cold.
To further support the owner’s love of home entertaining, Brandt Design introduced a bespoke bar area just outside of the main kitchen, featuring a custom gold wine rack and integrated wine cabinet. Able to store either red, white or sparkling wine at the optimum temperature, this model of wine cabinet can also convert into a can chiller so as required, they can offer guests a cold beer, cider or soft drink too. The sideboard is designed in the same grey oak furniture with satin brass decorative trims and chunky marble worktop, and the custom wine rack epitomises high glamour finished in rich gold with mirrored glass display shelving.
The elegant combination of stone and wood when mixed with warm-toned metallic accents ensure this designer kitchen and living space is both visually appealing and inviting. Light floods in from the patio highlighting the beauty of the gold light fixtures and fittings, which coordinate with the gold legs of the bar stools, and sheer voile curtains ensure privacy while defusing the natural light. To complete the look, Brandt Design enhance the space with refined elements such as white veined marble-effect surfaces, warm white upholstery and hardwearing, neutral porcelain flooring.
