The clients, passionate home cooks and parents to a young daughter, envisioned a kitchen that was not only a functional space for everyday use but also a warm, inviting hub for family life. Faced with a narrow layout and a lack of storage in their previous kitchen, Thomas James Bespoke focused on making the most of every inch. One of the most striking features is a set of rolling library ladders that glide across the cabinetry, offering stylish and practical access to upper cupboards with reeded glass fronts, combining visual appeal with increased storage.
A unique, family friendly touch includes a handcrafted “mouse hole” carved into the base of the larder cupboard, designed to engage the couple’s daughter as she grows. The larder also doubles as a drinks station, with pull out trays perfect for entertaining.
The kitchen’s rich green cabinetry, chosen in the studio’s signature Sienna style, is beautifully complemented by Artemistone Arabescato Gold worktops, used for the first time in this project. The golden veining pairs elegantly with patinated brass hardware, including a Bidbury & Co pot filler.
Appliances from Fisher & Paykel, a Caple wine cooler, a Quooker hot tap, and a Whitebirk butler sink complete the setup. A final personal touch sees the home’s name carved into the mantlepiece, ensuring this bespoke kitchen by Thomas James Bespoke is not only functional and beautiful but truly one of a kind.
