Bespoke luxury farmhouse kitchen with island and pantry
This impressive bespoke kitchen is a stunning re-interpretation of a classic farmhouse kitchen. Distinctive, yet understated, it seamlessly combines functionality and technology with style. Natural stone worktops and shaker style doors give the room a timeless appeal.
Acorn was asked to remodel the kitchen, pantry, and utility room of our clients home in the village of Slinfold, near Horsham in West Sussex. The existing Aga oven dominated the space and was impractical for a couple who liked to entertain regularly. So, we updated the layout of the kitchen and created cabinetry to integrate two new double ovens and two dishwashers. The tall oven unit was design to optimise the storage for large pans and pots below and incorporates a pair of pull-out spice racks either side of the ovens are easy to access and keep work surfaces clear of clutter.
Bespoke green painted finish
Green is a positive colour that brings a luxurious natural feel to the kitchen. The kitchen island is finished in Farrow and Ball Studio Green, a deep, dark green. The other units have been painted in Farrow and Ball Green Smoke, a calming, smoky green blue that was popular in 19th century interiors. The walls were painted in Farrow and Ball Skimming Stone, a pale warm grey neutral which gives the room a light and spacious feeling. Interiors of the cabinets are made from a premium lacquered birch plywood, for extra strength, durability, and moisture protection.
New central kitchen island with customised storage
Taking centre stage in this family kitchen is a new freestanding island which we designed and built with customised storage and features like an integrated drinks fridge. It adds immense style and practicality to the kitchen, providing the perfect place to prepare dishes, serve drinks or gather round to chat with guests.
New utility room design
This freshly designed room is now fitted with a full height cupboard with made to measure shelving to provide storage for dog supplies and other household equipment, as well as laundry facilities.
Bespoke walk-in pantry
The separate tailormade walk-in pantry is beautifully organised with shelving and drawers for dry goods, as well as a preparation area, repurposing the old oak island worktop.
Built with attention to detail
This stunning kitchen project also required us to fit new architrave and skirting and replace the old dark flagstone floor with a lighter stone that beautifully compliments the kitchen cabinetry. We also handcrafted a new taller 2200mm door and frame in solid oak for the entrance to the utility room, and installed integrated LED lighting throughout. Further accessories include decorative Pooky lighting, premium brushed brass sockets and switches from Corston, and knurled brass handles, which have an elegant diamond-cut pattern, that is easy to grip and looks incredibly stylish.
