JUST A HINT OF PINK

"Home was the key word here," says Adam Peden, director and one half of bespoke kitchen company Peden & Pringle. "It is very much a family space first and foremost."

This sociable, pastel kitchen was part of a three-year project which saw the owners' Georgian house in Edinburgh stripped back to its bare bones. The original kitchen was opened up, with Peden & Pringle brought in to overhaul the new space, utility, boot room, library and office (which, as all offices should, now features a bespoke whisky display and bar).

With so much space to play with, Adam knew the layout of the new kitchen needed to be perfect. "There was a large stone chimney mantel that had to be demolished as it was unsafe, but we knew we wanted to work with the original mantel position and have the main workspace under the new skylight," he explains. "The prep island now has a sociable vista towards the dining space and the antique mirror behind the Aga allows the cook to keep an eye on what's going on even when their back is turned."

The new mantel around the Aga has cubby holes built in, and an antique brass rail allows accessories and utensils to be easily accessed. The soft blush of the main range ties in beautifully with Little Greene's Peach Blossom on the cabinets. The walls are finished in Plaster III by Paint & Paper Library. "The client knew from day one that a delicate pink tone was what she wanted," says Adam. "We opted for a Dekton worktop to complement the colours in the cabinetry. Everything has solid tulipwood doors and frames and was painted by hand. We also included a subtle Georgian beading which was copied from one of the house's original internal doors."

MEET THE MAKER RACHEL MACLELLAN

You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
