Maweswood

Maweswood has crafted a bespoke kitchen that seamlessly blends British craftsmanship with modern functionality, creating a timeless design that perfectly suits a busy family of five. The clients, a surgeon and a doctor, sought a kitchen that reflected the traditional Victorian character of their home while accommodating their practical needs, including space for their three children and two pets.

The first priority for Maweswood was preserving the Victorian charm of the home. By integrating bespoke cabinetry that mirrored the joinery details of the house’s original sash windows, they ensured that the kitchen complemented the property’s period features. This attention to detail created a seamless transition between the kitchen and the rest of the home, maintaining an authentic feel that honors the heritage of the property.

Equally important was the kitchen’s modern functionality. Maweswood introduced smart design choices that supported the family’s everyday activities. With 28 drawers for accessible storage, hidden dishwashers, and clever features like retractable pantry doors, the kitchen remained both highly efficient and aesthetically clean. Charging points and discreet bins further maximized functionality while maintaining a sleek, uncluttered look.

The kitchen was also designed to foster social interaction, with a large central island acting as a hub for meal prep, casual dining, and conversation. The standout feature is a live-edge seating area, made from a reclaimed Elm slab by Fallen & Felled, which adds a striking contrast to the quartzite worktop and serves as a bridge between the kitchen and living room.

Maweswood proudly supports British craftsmanship, with all elements of the project made locally in the UK, reflecting their commitment to both quality and sustainability.
