Kitchen for Arts & Crafts house

Just returned from a photoshoot at this recently fitted kitchen in an Arts & Crafts house in Hampstead. The owners, keen cooks, wanted furniture referencing the history of their home.

The handles,  Lincoln Pull by Clayton Munroe in their patine finish, tie in with the Arts & Crafts ironmongery of the house.

The cupboards are painted in Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone, which offsets the light-toned Caesarstone worktops in Ginger.

The sale of a business and a sabbatical from work meant that Ben and Mo had the rare opportunity to spend six months experiencing life in the Italian capital. Meanwhile, back home their kitchen underwent something of a transformation.

“When we first went into Tim Moss’s studio, the first thing we noticed was the steel mesh that he puts behind the cupboard doors which we thought was a really nice touch. That won us over immediately,” says Ben. “Tim’s all about good design. it’s not fussy or making a big statement, it just ‘is’ and looks really nice. His style of kitchen was unusual, but not overly designed and it ticked all our boxes”...
