The owners of this beautiful new build home have created a stunning interior with a custom crafted handpainted kitchen taking centre stage.

Modern Classic

This couple have built a stunning new home in a classical style, with an open plan layout for their bespoke kitchen scheme. Having located the site over eight years ago, the project has been a long-term labour of love for the couple. ‘The site still had the original house on it when we bought it, so it was a lot of back and forth for a number of years before we finally got our new home underway.’

The couple had a very definite vision of what they wanted to achieve in terms of style and layout. Researching magazines and online, the couple’s new kitchen was inspired by American style homes, with an aim to create free flowing kitchen and dining spaces for everyday family living. ‘We wanted the overall look to have a timeless yet contemporary feel. As well as being visually beautiful we also needed a kitchen that would cater to the day to day lives of a growing family - functionally was key. It was our interior designer Helen Turkington who highly recommended Rhatigan & Hick, and we now see why!’

After an initial consultation with designer Ed Rhatigan it was very clear that he was the one who could bring this dream scheme to life. ‘We went with Rhatigan & Hick based on their design suggestions and their approach to managing the project. We could see straight away how passionate they are with their work. It was something we really liked and knew they would create a stunning scheme for us.’
