LET THE KITCHEN GAMES BEGIN!

Create a positive balance between home, work and play in your home with a bespoke open-plan kitchen that has your lifestyle in mind...

100% bespoke, this open-plan kitchen living space was designed and installed by the expert team at Brandt Design, for a large 4-bedroom property in the leafy suburb of Mill Hill, Northwest London.

Julia Steadman, Commercial Director explains, “We knew we were going to have fun working on this project as we needed to create a kitchen living space, which combines the homeowner’s love of cooking, home entertaining, rest and recreation with the addition of a full-size indoor ping pong table!

Starting in the main kitchen area, our contemporary style Urban Furniture in dark wood finish helps absorb the natural daylight flooding in from the Crittall-style twinset of double doors, which open out to the garden. A modern 8-spot lighting rail system in matt black helps to define the kitchen space, which features a run of full height handleless cabinets, block island and inset display storage.

The central island unit is the ideal space for family cooking, wine tasting and informal dining with family and friends being fully equipped with a flush mount BORA PURA induction glass ceramic cooktop, built-in wine cabinet by Caple and brown leather bar stools, which comfortably seat ➝ up to four. For extra peace of mind and to provide a direct contrast against the dark furniture, we paired it with durable, easy-clean surfaces in Calacatta Supreme: part of the Brandt Collection.

The set of three fully integrated ovens by Siemens ensure professional baking at home, choosing a conventional oven, combi microwave and steam oven for optimum cooking results. For a uniform look we chose to expand the Calacatta Supreme into the wash zone with matching worktop and splashback, along with modern Blanco Andano 700U stainless-steel sink and PRO3 Flex 3-in-1 matt black hot tap by Quooker.

Practical and luxurious, a breakfast cupboard is concealed behind the doors closest to the garden, complete with coffee machine, 4-slice toaster and blender. The fixed shelving with integrated lighting provides the ideal place to store cereal, gourmet coffee pods, artisan teas, mugs and crockery. Deep, low-profile drawers provide even more storage, and the large doors ensure everything stays neat and tidy space when not in use.

The dining area is defined by the light wood parquet flooring, and modern dining table that seats a further eight guests on mushroom grey leather chairs. To the right is a split-level playroom that houses the family’s beloved ping pong table; so even when the chef is hard at work, we’ve made sure they still feel part of the fun!”
