Mid-century vibes
Design process
The project This new-build was designed by kitchen designer Toni Roberts for her own family, with the kitchen doubling as a showroom for her business.
What was your creative process? Toni: I started with my usual process of interviewing the client – in this case my husband, Ken, who loves to create new and delicious meals in the kitchen. The layout (with my design assistant Julie Jenkins’ design input) was presented to the family for discussion and refinement. Together we organised the spaces and fittings, then decided on our priorities based on the value they added alongside their visual appeal.
What style were you going for? The kitchen’s walnut veneer features pay homage to the mid-century modern aesthetic of the home’s architecture. The gold-leaf light and glossy doors add a touch of Hollywood glam.
