KITCHEN

Contrasting tones and textures blend harmoniously in the kitchen, the hub of the home for the entire clan, including Alfie. Polytec ‘Ravine’ in Natural Oak – also used for the overhead joinery – plays a starring role alongside dark Maximum ‘Aster’ in Moon on the island, while marble-look Neolith ‘Estatuario’ porcelain in Silk from CDK Stone lines the splashback. Suspended from the ceiling, an Aggregato Saliscendi pendant by Artemide pays homage to other moody accents, including the Hay ‘About A Stool’ seats from Cult. “I’m so glad that we mixed up the colours and textures,” says Kathy. “The kitchen is the first thing people comment on when they come over.”
