The client wanted a design that would sit
elegantly in the room and make full use of
the available space. They wanted to keep
their Aga so that had to be factored into
the plan as did the large fridge-freezer and
wine cooler. The mirrored splashback works
well on both a social level and to reflect
light back into the room. Also on the clients
wish list was the walk-in corner pantry and
the challenge with this was ensuring it sat
seamlessly with the rest of the cabinetry.

There is always
someone in the
kitchen and meal
times can be
chaotic so it was
imperative that the
room functioned
well and had a
great flow.
I kept being drawn to designs from Shalford
Interiors and although I visited with a few other
companies when I met with Ferghal and looked
around the showroom at Shalford I knew that
was what I was after.
The couple wanted a large island with seating
space for everyone and loads of worktop room.
Storage was a big factor that was lacking
in our previous kitchen so I was determined
that this time around wed be able to keep the
worktops clear, Elaine said.
There is always someone in the kitchen and
meal times can be chaotic so it was imperative that
the room functioned well and had a great flow.
Thanks to the kitchens larder and walk-in
pantry there is now a place for everything and
the worktops are free for food preparation.
Initially Elaine liked the idea of a bold colour
scheme and toyed with the idea of blue before
eventually settling on a more muted scheme.
I was worried Id get bored of a strong colour
and was also aware of trying to create continuity
between the different rooms. I thought by
staying more neutral it would help to give the
entire downstairs area a better sense of balance.
To help add continuity to the home, Ferghal
also designed the utility and boot room, areas
which work well to keep the kitchen tidy and
clutter free. A hidden walk-in pantry stores the
microwave and a small second fridge and sits
neatly within the cabinetry.
Elaine said: On one side of the freezer we
have our larder unit and on the other is the walkin pantry. People are always surprised when the

THE DESIGNER
Ferghal OReilly
Regardless of the size of a kitchen
functionality has to be the primary
concern. With seven people in the house
this had to be a big kitchen but it also
had to be convenient and easy to use.
A clear working triangle makes meal
preparation and clearing up easy while
leaving a large portion of the room free
for other family members or guests.
The client was keen to have ample
storage so we included plenty of presses in
the design, meaning that while everything
has its place it is also easy to locate
and retrieve a particular item. The larder
unit is perfect for food storage while the
hidden pantry holds any overflow without
compromising the rooms clean aesthetic.

The size and shape of this kitchen
meant that creating a sense of balance
was crucial. It was important that, while
adding in detail and interest, we kept
the room as open and light as possible.
Staggering the heights of the overmantel,
wall units, larder, fridge and freezer help
to draw the eye up rather than just across
and work well with the vaulted ceiling.

At OnCraft we can offer all our clients
the very best in design reflecting their
own style and personality. Our talented
craftsmen in our extensive workshop
manufacture all our designer furniture.
As we do with all our clients we used
the first initial consultation to get an idea
of what our client wanted from their new
kitchen design, how they wanted to use
the room, what they like and also what they
dont like. We use this as a starting point
in designing a kitchen space that is suited
specifically to their individual needs.

THE DESIGNER
Philip Millar
The client wanted something simple but
striking for this extension project. As space
was limited every single aspect of the
design had to be completely functional. The
choice of handleless kitchen was ideal as
its clean lines help to keep the open feel
of the room and draw the eye across the
space. By centralising the ovens and coffee
station on a standalone unit no worktop
space is wasted and it also works very well
as a social space with the neighbouring
breakfast bar incorporated into the island.

Our client wanted to capture the features
of the beautiful period residence throughout
the design of the kitchen. Some key
features of this scheme include, Royal
JW Mantle, tall curved units, Jonathan
Williams customised butlers pantry,
solid oak interiors with dovetail solid
oak drawers and Georgian glass frame
throughout. The island has an integrated
solid oak top with curved units fitted here
to create a nice flow through the kitchen.
The kitchen is traditionally handpainted in Farrow & Ball Shaded White
on the main kitchen and Stoney Ground
on the island. The Silestone worktop
completes this stunning kitchen.

THE DESIGNER
Eleanor Clarke
When Eileen first came into the showroom
she was a little disheartened and deflated
from her experience thus far. By taking the
reins of the design and talking to Eileen I
was able to come up with a kitchen design
that I knew would go beyond Eileen and
Johns expections. Creating a Hamptons
style to the kitchen gave the space a
warm, fresh and most importantly classy
feeling. The subtle colours of Mussel
and Cashmere of the solid kitchen doors
add to the sense of peace within the
kitchen. Surrounding the tall units in stud
and playing with the heights of the wall
units allowed both the contemporary and
traditional styles to collide. A bespoke
internal design to the larder unit created a
feature within, providing both storage and
service. The central island is illuminated
by under and over counter lighting
giving the perfect finishing touch.

I loved that The Kitchen Shop offered
custom made colours so were able to get exactly
the shade we wanted, commented Fabienne.
I work in design so Im around colour a lot
and had a clear vision of how I wanted it to
look. I wanted the two tone scheme to bring
movement and interest into the room.
In accordance with Fabiennes wishes the
sink and hob have been placed at adjacent ends
of the counter, giving an unbroken workspace.
I love cooking for people and quite often
when Ive family round theyll pitch in and help.
I wanted lots of space so that there was room
for everyone. It wouldnt work for everyone but
its very functional for our way of life and how
we use the kitchen.
Storage was another important factor so Peter
worked in the higher cabinets and incorporated
pullout drawers into the presses and larder unit
for ease of access.
Also on the wish list was a coffee station
so rather than interrupt the clean lines of the
main kitchen Peter suggested a floating island
unit to sit in the open plan area. This not only
saves space in the kitchen but helps to marry
the kitchen and living areas together. The same
blue wood stain was then used on the floating
shelves that sit opposite to give continuity to
the scheme.
We absolutely love the kitchen, said
Fabienne. Its so vibrant but also feels very
calming. We spend a lot of time here and love
how its so functional while looking great.
As there is quite
a lot of wood
running through
the house via the
floor and window
sills they wanted to
contrast this with
something clean
and light.

The client came to me with a very clear
idea of what they wanted from their
kitchen. It was then our job to deliver
on this design brief and incorporate all
aspects of their wish list. They werent
afraid to experiment with colour and
the chosen shades work well to create
a very modern, fresh space. Placing
the hob and sink at opposite ends of
the worktop wouldnt work for everyone
but the client wanted that uninterrupted
space for cooking and meal preparation.
Pullout drawers in the presses and pantry
mean the kitchen is very functional as
its easy to see exactly whats there.

The client wanted a clean, fresh design.
Keeping everything integrated with plenty
of straight lines helped to maximise
the space available and also keeps the
room open and bright. The blue colour
choice helps to give the kitchen a real
vibrancy and makes it very current.
The main appliances are all housed on
the wall so this ensures the room is very
functional and the close proximity of the
sink to the hob means keeping it clean
during meal prep. takes minimal effort.

The brief dictated a timeless kitchen
with classical styling, a signature design
that would bear the weight of influence
within an expansive architectural space.
The client wanted a multifunctional,
family friendly space with extraordinary
design features. Individuality and
subdued opulence defined the brief.
With only an embryonic architectural
plan as a guide the brief spilled out far
beyond the kitchen furniture allowing us to
create complementary architectural and
design features throughout the property
with every minute detail being developed
and evolved with the clients over a
two year period. This was no ordinary
project; this was a labour of love.

Although I only met Lisa and Chris once
during the whole process we kept in

hear any suggestions I might have. As Lisa
works from home we incorporated an office
space into the layout and worked around
keeping the scheme bright and open.
Lisa had seen a pantry in our showroom
and liked the idea of it so we came up with
a style that would suit the room and fitted a
storage unit in the hall with the effect being
that people would get a feel for the kitchen
before they even entered the room, giving a
continuity to the downstairs of the home.

well as hot warm or cold water, all from
