This beautifully restored barn conversion, set on the edge of farmland in Llantwit Major, needed a kitchen that respected its agricultural past while embracing modern family living. It was a genuine floor-to-ceiling project: walls reconfigured for an open kitchen-dining area, full rewiring, new plumbing for a farmhouse sink, and careful restoration of the original oak beams and stone walls.
The result is a handmade Shaker kitchen finished in Little Greene's Jewel Beetle. This a rich green that pays homage to a Sargent portrait, paired with solid brass handles for vintage charm. Silestone Callacatta Gold worktops add striking contrast, while a generous peninsular anchors the space for family gatherings and dinner parties alike. All lit by soft brass pendant lighting.
We worked hand in hand with a client who had a clear creative vision of her own. We were collaborating with, rather than simply designing for. That partnership, built on genuine listening and proper technical delivery, is what turned a characterful but tired kitchen space into the undisputed heart of the home.
Do you have a farmhouse or cottage in need of a complementary kitchen design? Feel free to get in touch. Let's make it happen together.
