Atmospheric Open-plan Kitchen

Winchester

Open-plan kitchens can be tricky spaces that need to serve a multitude of purposes. Normally clients have open plan spaces and then the design brief is how to cosy it in and make it feel cosy and inviting and this was no exception.

In order to create the welcoming feel the client was looking for we were keen to introduce a lot of texture to the room so there is a real mix of materials happening. The bar stools and dining chairs are in wood and of a traditional design, there is a rustic farmhouse dining table and large fitted bench seating covered in an array of textiles. Not to mention the stone floor, granite worktops and brass handles of the kitchen.

All these materials create a ‘lived in’ feel and a more natural atmosphere than many new rooms manage to achieve.

This was one of Studio Ember’s E-Design clients and he is busying himself implementing the design. He’s nearly there so pictures coming soon!
