This stunning kitchen houses a rather exquisite blend: two of our most popular custom kitchen fronts – Hardwood Oak Veneer and Hardwood Walnut Veneer – come together with intricate marbled worktops to create a truly breathtaking space.

This unique blend was born from the clients’ struggle to come to an agreement on a Hardwood Veneer finish – Tom liked Oak, Alex was a proponent for Walnut. The resulting blend, albeit a happy accident, gives the space unparalleled depth and dimension – both essential in a classic kitchen extension.

As a Geologist, Tom was inspired by the neutral colours of the earth – so architect EJ Studio commissioned hand-picked Breccia Antico worktops from Bristol Marble and golden door handles & downlights to create a calming, natural space.

I am a geologist, and I was therefore always going to be drawn to a natural material. The Breccia Antico worktop stood out straight away, with its interesting structural fabric telling a story of its development as a material. I could see myself gazing at over a slow Sunday coffee. We also wanted natural materials for the cabinets, not just for the colours but also the tactile nature of real wood.” – Tom Jarman
