Well Thought Out

Allen and Carolyn from Ballinderry wanted a hand-painted design for their new build home. Parkes Interiors has created a bespoke modern and sleek space with well thought out design, which is exactly what the couple wanted.

Our previous kitchen was a small basic beechwood design,’ explains Allen. ‘Our new kitchen came about as we built a new house on my parents family farm in Ballinderry and Carolyn and I needed more space as we have two young children, James and Daniel. We lived in East Belfast and often passed Parkes Interiors, admiring their kitchen displays and so when the time came to choose a kitchen, we had to go and have a look!’

After an initial meeting with designer Brian Parkes, the couple knew that Parkes Interiors was perfect for designing their kitchen. Allen says, ‘As it was a new build house, we were fortunate to choose the plan and consequently the kitchen to suit the house and our tastes. We asked for a timeless look that was practical and homely with a functional design. We also knew that we wanted a central island that would be sociable while preparing food and also for parties. Brian supplied great design ideas and features as well as a very accommodating approach which made the kitchen right for us.’
