Frayed linen cushion and mudcloth cushion, both hauslife.co.uk DAR Lighting Osaka Track and Dynamo Pendants “IT HAS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED THE WAY WE LIVE. WE OPTED FOR THE BEST QUALITY WE COULD AFFORD AND I’M SO GLAD WE DID” GROHE Minta Tap and K700 Stainless Steel Sink cupboard around the fridge, a curved one for the breakfast bar and of course the full height ones on the banquette seating – great for housing the hoover and large kitchen appliances!” Peg Board and Imitation Coral from jysk.co.uk Lighting was a huge consideration for this newly zoned, multi-function room. Lisa wanted the lights to help define each space - with functional track spotlights in the kitchen, pendants over the breakfast bar and a beautiful statement light over the dining table. “To save on costs, instead of having a raft of new spotlights installed, we chose these beautiful ‘Osaka’ track spots from DAR Lighting. Then we chose the ‘Dynamo’ pendant lights for the breakfast bar - they have a diffuser on the bottom which stops the light from having that stark, interrogation appearance - they create a fabulous ambiance. The pendant over the dining table is called the ‘Alana’ and I was immediately attracted to its stylish form and functionality - it looks amazing in situ. Despite choosing lights from three different collections, they work together really well and all have a stunning antique chrome finish, which tied the metallic finishes on the handles and tap together.” 20 | www.minervamagazines.co.uk
Cabinets from Crown Kitchens Tap and Sink from GROHE Accessories from jysk.co.uk Whilst you may not consider it, the sink and tap are some of the most important purchases in the kitchen - especially with our heightenedawareness of the importance of regular hand washing. This beautiful GROHE Minta SmartControl kitchen mixer tap is perfect for the hygiene-focused and budding chefs alike with its button-controlled start technology, “it’s so convenient - if you have a heavy pot to fill with water or have handled raw meat, you can start the tap with the touch of an elbow or wrist. You can adjust the flow of the water with the button too - the spout can also pull out so you can rinse down the whole sink with ease. We paired it with the GROHE K700, which has an undermount design - it’s so sleek and looks amazing against our composite worktop.” It’s no secret that kitchens require robust flooring – it has to be able to cope with water but also resist damage from dropped pans or knives. The obvious answer was luxury vinyl, so Lisa and Phil went straight to the experts at Amtico, “we knew we wanted wood effect and I am a huge fan of a classic herringbone pattern. Our concern was that this floor had to run into the hallway too, but that’s too narrow to support this pattern – but the beauty of these Amtico planks was that they can be laid in a whole host of different configurations – ours has a transition from straight planks in the hallway to my beautiful herringbone. We went for the colour Honey Oak, but you can even mix and match shades in the range to create some lovely tonal variations and patterns. They also come with an amazing 25 year guarantee which gives real peace of mind.” Having now completed the project, would they change anything? “Honestly, it’s surpassed our expectations - it was a relatively painless process which has completely transformed the way we live. We opted for the best quality we could afford and I’m so glad we did - this is beating heart of our home and now it works for all of us.” STOCKIST DETAILS: Sink: K700 undermount sink, £591.13 excl.
