Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2020 i Essential Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom

Every improvement, update and renovation starts with an idea, and this month we’re encouraging you to dream big! If you’re planning a project in your home, before all else, take some time to look around the space and imagine what could be. How much better would your bathroom work if you knocked out that old airing cupboard? And how much larger and lighter would your kitchen be if you went into the side return? It was asking just these kinds of questions that created the phenomenal results featured in our real homes this issue. Turn to Industrial Vibe on page 22 to see how repurposing the orangery and levelling up floors delivered for one couple; while in Rewriting History on page 46, flipping the kitchen and dining areas was the…

NICK ANDERSON DESIGNER AND DIRECTOR, GUILD ANDERSON How did you begin the layout? The kitchen has lots of large windows and several entry points, resulting in limited wall space for cabinetry. So we initially concentrated on creating what is, in essence, a simple and practical galley-style layout, based on a symmetrical wall run and island. The wall run has tall housing for appliances at one end, balanced by a Bowman cupboard at the other, with a window centrally positioned between the two. The dishwasher and storage for crockery and cutlery are close to the sink, positioned away from the main cooking zone. Can you tell us about the island? It has a dramatic nine-drawer front to accentuate its role as the main feature of the room, and provides plenty…

What challenges did you overcome? The room was in the basement and accessed down a spiral staircase. The large Sub-Zero refrigeration had to be craned in and it took four men to carry the other large appliances down. The extraction was also difficult due to the basement location and the run of the cabinetry, and we needed specialised ducting to cope with the Wolf cooking range. What’s the most successful design feature? The unusual herringbone veneers and copper detailing make the kitchen unique. Having the pocket door that leads thorough to the pantry also works well. A Kohler sink, Wolf hob, Sub-Zero fridge, freezer and wine cooler are also housed here. These can then be hidden away when entertaining. Can you tell us about the lighting? A…

There’s more to this room than first meets the eye, as Darren Taylor, managing director of bespoke kitchen design company Searle & Taylor, explains. ‘I was given an extensive brief for a relatively small and restrictive space, so every element had to be well considered.’ The Georgian townhouse in the heart of Winchester is a listed building, spanning four storeys and coming complete with a lift. When the homeowners bought the property, it had been used as offices, so a whole house renovation was needed. They opted for local tradesmen and architects, and brought Darren on board to collaborate with them in designing the kitchen. The couple added a single-storey extension to the back of the house to provide an extra sitting room, but the allocated space for the kitchen…

‘Consult your neighbours at the earliest stage to keep them as on-side as possible’Chris Scott, Mascot Bespoke Homes A kitchen extension is a blank canvas. You’ve got the brush and the colours, but where do you begin? The first thing is to consider exactly what you want to achieve, explains Jason Eccles, founding director at Artform Architects. ‘Is it for more family space? A better layout for socialising? Or an improved connection to the rest of the house or garden? Once you know what’s most important to you, the finer details can be explored.’ Keeping what you want to achieve at the front of your mind throughout the process is key, says Jamie Blake, creative director at Blakes London. ‘So often we see ‘project creep’, as clients attempt to incorporate…

1 THE DISTINCTIVE ONE We love the playful and modern design in Clearwater’s Vigore natural stone bath, £2,699, made from stone that’s been polished for more than 10 hours to create a soft finish. This material retains heat well, keeping your water hot for longer, but our favourite feature of the bath has to be its curvy feet. They lift the tub to expose the floor beneath, making the room feel more spacious. 2 THE COLOURFUL ONE Dado and plinth detailing on a seamless curve with a neat white roll-top makes the Bute cast iron bath tub, £5,660, by Drummonds, a cool combination of classic and contemporary. The hand-finished acrylic skirt wrap can be painted in any colour you like – such as this retro red hue – with options…

From objects made through less precise processes, allowing for natural variation in shape, colour and size, to finding joy in the broken and damaged, this trend finds beauty in imperfect forms. Look out for dented and burnished materials and Kintsugi, the Japanese art of fixing broken ceramics with gold. SHOP THE LOOK TRUE DECADENCE Ledbury Studio’s Metallics kitchen collection, designed by founder Charlie Smallbone, forms a glamorous look here. Displaying a mix of metal surfaces and aged-brass accents, the cabinetry is paired with Marine Blue paint by Little Greene and luxurious-looking Bianco Macaubas Quartzite seen on the splashback and worktops.

What was the brief for the project? The space didn’t flow from the front door to the kitchen as it should in a house of this calibre, while the kitchen felt small and dark in relation to the light-filled, bay-window dining area, which was where the new kitchen is now. It had to be a fabulous entertaining kitchen as the clients love cooking and entertaining. They also wanted to make the space, including the kitchen, ‘luminous’. And no grey! How did you make the most of the space? My principal aim from the outset was to move the whole kitchen to the dining area and block up the two doors to allow a large L-shape design for the kitchen. After continually examining the floor plan, it was the…

How did you meet? In 2010 we were both in our early twenties and living in the East Village, New York (Lucy was studying photography and Jemima interning at Vanity Fair). We were put in touch by a mutual friend and immediately got on, not least because of our shared obsession with food. We would venture all over the city to try out new restaurants, pop-ups, shops and markets. And how did you come to start Tart London? When we came back to London a few years later, we sensed a food revolution taking place in the UK. People had begun to think more about the quality of the food they were eating, and good food was more popular than ever. But we realised that one thing was…

What was the brief for this kitchen extension? Our client wanted a more ‘liveable’ space that was better for entertaining family and friends. By extending two metres to the rear, remodelling the side return and adding frameless skylights, the space was completely opened up, giving a much greater sense of light and flow. The large island is the focal point and provides a fantastic social hub. There is a formal dining space, but for day-to-day living and having a couple of friends round for a relaxed drink, the island offers the perfect set-up. What makes this project a success? The garden was completely overhauled, creating a much more attractive and calming outlook from the kitchen, and giving a real sense of inside/outside living. The modern skylights give a…

•A range cooker not only adds a focal point to a kitchen, but also allows home cooks more space to cook for friends and family with the opportunity to be creative with their cooking. The extra cavities and hob space help to take the stress out of cooking for a crowd, while the bonus of proving drawers, teppan yaki griddles and wok cradles on many range cookers means that world cuisines are more accessible to the average family. • When deciding which range cooker might suit your home, it’s important to consider the fuel type you'd like and which functions you need for your lifestyle. Induction cookers are a great option for families, thanks to a host of safety options including a pan-detection feature, which means that when the hob…

How did you develop the layout? The room measures about 1.75m in depth by 3.6m in width, so the shallow size meant there was really only one position for the bath – under the bay window. We chose an elegant but simple freestanding tub to both catch the eye and create a more spacious feel than a fitted, boxed-in design. This left one end of the room for the walk-in shower, with the level access chosen to make it easy for the children to use and leaving enough room for Tim and Becky to supervise them. This meant there was space at the other end of the room for a modern take on a washstand with basin, and the WC. How did you choose the brassware? This is…

What was your client’s brief ? Brooke cooks a lot so we needed good worktop space, lots of storage, and they wanted a wine cooler. I had worked for Brooke and Kieran before, but this time we obviously had a much larger space to work with. We went through lots of colour options and Brooke was great to work with as she was very decisive. The Tio Anthracite was a new colour and they loved the feel and look of the super-matt finish. How did you decide on the layout? Knowing the requirements, we ensured ample workspace, and incorporated the wine fridge and spice racks into the island – the rest of the design just fell into place. Were there any challenges to overcome in the design of the…

The challenge for the designers of this stunning new-build home in West London was to create an interior scheme that turned the house into a home. Commissioned by a developer to sell soon after building works were complete, the modern property sits at the end of a row of white Georgian stucco houses. Within the six-bedroom home is a vast basement level that houses an open-plan kitchen overlooking a courtyard, a separate pantry and an adjoining dining and living area. Bespoke kitchen and furniture designer Martin Holliday of Chiselwood Ltd and architectural interior designer Rina Patel of Vastu came on board to give the space a stylish and characterful feel. ‘We worked from the architect plans, reconfiguring rooms and partitions to find the layout we felt would work best for…

WHAT WAS YOUR BRIEF FOR THE PROJECT? The homeowners wanted a great deal from this kitchen – they were after an island, range cooker and American-style fridge freezer. But, with it being a listed building, we had to work around the original coving and tapered walls. When you walk into that house, you're overwhelmed by the ceiling height, so we used this to our advantage and built upwards. But we had to come up with a design that didn’t look too heavy, so used light colours and detailed finishes in keeping with the existing style. WHAT WAS THE MAIN CHALLENGE OF THE PROJECT? Hiding all the new plumbing work, electrics, servers and lighting controls neatly away while still providing access to them all and keeping to the aesthetic we initially…

Whether you use your cooker for everyday family meals, large-scale entertaining on a regular basis or you just like trying new recipes and techniques, a range cooker will cope easily with all manner of culinary tasks. The first thing to consider is its size. ‘Space is crucial, as range cookers tend to be larger than other cookers, and there are benefits to going bigger. You’ll get more oven capacity and burners, perfect for those who are serious about cooking,’ says Maurizio Severgnini, managing director at Bertazzoni UK and Ireland. Next, choose the fuel type. Take your pick from all-gas, all-electric, dual-fuel and induction options, as well as cookers that can run off LPG or oil where there's no mains gas supply, and designs that incorporate a wood-fired oven or come…

If you’re in the market for a new bed, you’re probably hoping for a restful shopping experience, but first you might want to look at the materials involved and consider their eco credentials too. The National Bed Federation has revealed that 80 per cent of mattresses end up in landfill or incineration, taking their toll on the environment. But this bad news is also causing a positive shift in the industry, says executive director Jessica Alexander. ‘An increased focus on sustainability is definitely one of the biggest changes we’ve seen over the past few years,’ she says. ‘Companies are responding to increasing awareness and concerns about climate change, about health and safety and about corporate standards of transparency and honesty, and that’s leading to companies changing materials and technologies and…

‘We see ourselves as the NASA of the bed world, pushing the boundaries of engineering’Dave Claire, development director, Harrison Spinks SIMON SPINKS MANAGING DIRECTOR OF FAMILY BED-MAKING FIRM HARRISON SPINKS TELLS HOW A FARM OF SHEEP AND ROLLING HEMP FIELDS REDUCED ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT Why are natural materials so important? There are many advantages to working with natural materials. Natural fillings regulate temperature and process moisture, keeping mattresses fresh. Wool keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter and it’s inherently fire retardant, so it doesn’t need any chemicals to protect it. We don’t mix the natural fibres in our mattresses with any polyester or manmade fibres, which means they can be recycled at the end of their life – something that everyone should be thinking about these…
