Ledbury Studio has masterfully transformed a lower ground floor into an exquisite open-plan space, incorporating a family kitchen, dining area, snug, and hallway/boot room. The client’s design brief sought to marry the cool simplicity of Scandinavian style with the warm, inviting atmosphere of Australia, her native country. Ledbury Studio responded with a sophisticated blend of materials and thoughtful design elements, creating a cohesive and luxurious environment.
The kitchen stands out with its mixture of pale oak and painted oak cabinets, accented by patinated brass handles, kickplates, and a hanging rack that illuminates the island. This lighting rack is notably suspended from a barrel-vaulted ceiling, which is tiled to add drama and depth to the space. Patinated brass frames around the oak drawers and fine detailing on the cooker hood further enhance the kitchen’s elegance. The fluted oak panelling on the back of the island and breakfast bar, combined with a Statuario marble worksurface featuring a waterfall edge, underscores the kitchen’s pared-back luxury.
