When it came to building her new home and subsequently designing the kitchen, architect and kitchen designer Áine opted for a timeless design that worked within the immediate space and blended with the design of the whole house.
‘When I was designing the house and kitchen I didn’t have the experience of two young children and how they would use the space. My four-year-old daughter Ana-Rose has been using the window seat rather than the playroom to get some space to play with her toys away from my 18 month old son Mikey. However, he has just learnt how to pull himself up on them – so that’s fun making sure he doesn’t fall off!’
While Áine may have her hands full at the moment, the oak laminate window seat is definitely the perfect addition in this space which offers fantastic views out over the surrounding countryside, and it will certainly be somewhere the children will enjoy spending time playing with toys or reading a book as the years go by and they grow up in this space.
