Two levels of cupboard doors add to the detail in this kitchen.
After years of open shelves, it was time to return to solid-fronted upper cabinets for the 2011 Princess Margaret Showhome's dream country kitchen. These are House & Home's own design, made by Heritage Kitchens.
Senior design editor Cameron MacNeil added function and fashion to this space with a crisp palette.
Cameron chose classic white cabinets to contrast with the dark Hanstone countertop and graphic rug. Handmade water-hued tiles add gorgeous texture and shine. Larger industrial-inspired stainless-steel appliances make cooking easier and elevate the look of the generously sized kitchen. The cabinets around the fridge were built out to give it a more custom look without the expense of a counter-depth unit. Deep drawers for pots on either side of the stove make reaching things much easier.
A black and white palette and pendant lights create a tailored look.
Designer Brian Gluckstein advises homeowners to keep it simple when it comes to cupboards, flooring and countertops, since those materials are expensive to replace if you get bored of them. "Don't go over the top on anything that can't be changed easily. If you order electric blue cabinets, you better really like the colour — you'll be stuck with it for a while," he says. In this family-friendly kitchen, he chose practical honed granite countertops to hide fingerprints, and installed brackets under the breakfast bar to help define spaces for stools. The panelling-covered fridge is a luxe touch.
This creamy neutral palette and open space are perfect for family life and entertaining.
Though designer Colette van den Thillart wouldn’t have chosen black granite for the countertops, she admits the kitchen in her London home is highly functional.
