The kitchen was once a room devoted to work organised around the stove, the sink and the preparation of food. Today, we spend time here in other ways too, but there is still much to draw from the older kitchen’s practical fittings, painted woodwork and carefully considered details.
The house itself often offers a starting point. Its age, original woodwork and surviving fittings can help guide the choice of materials and details as the kitchen takes shape.
Here, we look inside our customers’ kitchens, where taps, hardware and lighting based on designs from around 1900 find their place in daily life.
