Timeless Kitchen Design Walkthrough: Tailoring Your Space, Layout, and Vision to Suit You

In this episode, Faye Newman discusses a kitchen design project for a young couple in Worcestershire who are embarking on their first kitchen renovation. They aimed to create a traditional, timeless kitchen that aligns with their passion for hosting and cooking. The design process focused on key elements such as layout, appliance integration, storage, and natural lighting, particularly as the clients were adding a single-story extension to their home.Accompanying episode blog: https://www.fayenewmandesign.com/blogKey TakeawaysThroughout the design process, Faye had to think about lots of important factors—like the layout, appliance integration, storage solutions, and bringing in as much natural light as possible.One of the fun challenges was balancing the client's desire for an island with the practical needs of the space. In the end, Faye suggested a peninsula layout, which turned out to be a smart choice. The final design features a U-shaped layout complete with that peninsula, a handy corner pantry, and integrated appliances.To keep things looking cohesive, they went for a neutral colour scheme with classic touches like Shaker-style doors. For the finishes, the clients chose a brushed brass tap, matching brass hardware, and a lovely light marble-look worktop—these selections enhanced the overall traditional vibe.If you're considering a kitchen revamp, think about how even small adjustments like a peninsula can make a big difference!Best Moments"Whenever I do a kitchen design, I always think about, what's the best place for your appliances?""We decided to go for stacked appliances, free-standing, and then integrate that into a big cupboard. And then that still allowed for, say, like 100 mil or, like a smaller space for your ironing board and things next to it.""What's really good with the Burbage style of doors as well is that the T and G panels come at the same cost as their plain panels, so they're reversible, which means that if you're unsure whether you want to go for T and G panels everywhere, you can make that decision on site as well if you want to.”About the HostFaye Newman is a freelance Kitchen Designer with eight years of experience in the industry.
