Archway Street Kitchen - A Warm, Traditional Family Kitchen in Barnes
About This Project
Designed for a family of five in a charming Barnes cottage, this kitchen makes the most of every corner. Traditional styling meets generous prep space, a sociable island, and beautifully painted cabinetry in Benjamin Moore Cloud White and Lulworth Blue. With two full-height pantry cupboards and an American-style fridge-freezer, it’s a space built for real family life - lively, practical, and quietly elegant.
Key Project Details

The clients — an American couple who embraced the charm of traditional British style - wanted a kitchen that felt both classic and full of warmth. We balanced generous storage with open display, using soft tones and natural stone to keep the space fresh. The island brings everyone together without crowding the room, making it the everyday gathering point for a busy household.
