Nestled in the centre of Stamford, Kate & Richard are sat in the heart of their home: a combined living and kitchen area boasting a beautiful soft contrast of baby pink walls, indigo painted shaker cabinetry and Banaba white quartz surfaces.
When Kate visited Andrew at QKS of Stamford, she was looking for a space which would facilitate her love of baking, cooking from scratch and entertaining friends and family, ensuring her “snug” could be incorporated into the kitchen area and natural light dispersed throughout.
After understanding Kate and Richard’s lifestyle and space, QKS set to work identifying key aspects which would maximise the room and tailor the kitchen to their needs. Think large seamless worktops for preparing homemade dishes and an integrated seating area to entertain guests. Supported by 31 years of experience in kitchen design, Kate and Richard were guided through final interiors, layout and finishing touches. Complete management of the project and a friendly and professional installation team delivered their dream kitchen.
The space features carefully chosen Sheraton Sterling shaker cabinets topped with white quartz worktops and fair porcelain tiles underfoot, designed to bounce light around the room. A Quooker boiling water tap and graphite Neff appliances were fitted, including those with slide and hide oven doors, to facilitate Kate’s culinary endeavours. A devoted preparation and cooking station was designed within the lustrous quartz island worktop. The bronze finish sink is located adjacent to a large induction hob for easy cleaning, preparation and cooking. A subtle extraction fan was incorporated into the ceiling, allowing natural light to float around the room whilst Kate and Richard entertain guests at their breakfast bar.
The end result for Kate and Richard? All aspects of the space carefully designed around their needs and lifestyle, with the kitchen becoming the centre of their home.
