PRETTY PRACTICAL

A row of plate rails in the adjacent butler’s pantry displays white platters and vintage copper bakeware, to form a striking feature wall. “It would have been a big, blank white wall, so the addition of panelling and plate rails create depth and interest,” says the kitchen’s designer, Dominique McAdam of Provincial Kitchens. And nothing beats dark timber flooring to add character. Sally opted for the warmth of wide-board European oak in Burnt Sand, which has lovely natural colour variation through the grain, exclusive to Solomons Flooring Willoughby.
