    Worktops ✨ wooden worktops add warmth and a homely feel to a traditional kitchen, but it’s not always the most practical choice! Wood needs sanding and oiling regularly to maintain it, and we would always recommend avoiding wood around the sink. So why not mix and match? A stone top on the island keeps the kitchen practical and creates a stunning feature! #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #oakworktops #woodenworktops #stoneworktops #quartzworktops #cosykitchen #traditionalkitchendesign #shakerkitchen

    Moody Marine blue 🤩 we love this colour as an alternative for navy - the warmer subtle hints of teal give it extra depth and add a bit more interest than the traditional navy blue.

    A little behind the scenes… We spend a lot of time sketching and planning to explore all the possibilities for your new space - it’s so important to consider the flow of traffic through the house, and not just the kitchen. This is where it is important for us to know more about how you use the rest of your home. If you often go out for muddy walks, and use your back door more than your front door, this will make a big impact on the design of your kitchen layout. Where guests enter the kitchen when entertaining is also important; this would be the best place to position sociable seating such as stools at the island, to encourage guests to sit down and not linger in doorways or get in the way of cooking.We think about access to the back door from the washing machine to hang your washing on the line, we consider the position of your dishwasher for conveniently unpacking into the kitchen cupboards, and we even take into account any furry family members with integrated dog beds and cat flaps (swipe to see a very happy pooch in his new bed)!All the little details are so important to us to make sure we design the perfect functional space for you and your family ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #practicaldesign #functionalinteriors #interiordesignsolutions #independentdesigner #interiordesignsketch #kitchenplanning #kitchendesignerberkshire #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #kitchendesignsolutions #kitchendogbed #bespokekitchendesign

    Unique and original items add interest and ensure your home is not the carbon copy of some Instagram ‘dream home’ – finding inspiration from social media, websites, blogs and magazines is brilliant, but don’t be afraid to mix and match, and only ever include things that you love. Ignore the latest trends; they go out of fashion so quickly and you will be left with an outdated and uninspiring interior. You will never grow bored of a design filled with things you LOVE!#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #uniqueinteriors #creativeinteriordesign #bespokeinteriordesign #pinksofa #snugdesign #interiordesigntips #interiordesigninspo #traditionalinteriordesign #originalinteriors #classicinteriors #notjustkitchens #interiordesignberkshire #independentdesigner #cosyinteriors #timelessinteriordesign

    Where do you stand in your kitchen?Deciding whether to include a sink or hob on your island is a purely personal choice and depends on how you use your kitchen. Some clients find they spend a lot of time at the sink, whilst others stand at the hob or preparing food on the biggest area of worktop available in the kitchen. If you are considering an island or peninsula in your kitchen, it is important to think about where you spend most time in the kitchen, but also the way you use it. For example, if your kitchen sink is often piled with dirty dishes, the island might not be the best place for it! Would you choose to put your sink or hob on the island?#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchenislanddesign #kitchenislandideas #kitchenpeninsula #kitchendesigntips #interiordesignadvice #belfastsink #shakerkitchen #timelesskitchendesign #kitchensberkshire #hampshirekitchens #cosykitchen #independentdesigner #hampshiredesigner

    OK, so a galley kitchen might not be on the top of your list, but keep an open mind! To make the best use of a space, galley style kitchens can be a really efficient layout when designed well. A galley style in a smaller open plan kitchen for example can create a natural divide between kitchen and dining, and keep small children safely out of the cooking zone. Two parallel runs of cabinets can also create a convenient cooking area with plenty of worktop space and storage, whilst the simplicity of a galley style kitchen can make the space feel larger, and avoids awkward corners.

    Especially if you are short on space, curves can be a great way to include additional storage without reducing the ease of circulation around the kitchen. Curved cabinets can also provide an attractive feature in both traditional and contemporary designs. Limiting the pinch points and sharp edges can make a room feel larger and more open, without sacrificing large amounts of worktop space and storage, and they can work in a kitchen of any size or layout ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #shakerkitchendesign #independentdesigner #curvedcabinets #kitchendesigntips #interiordesignadvice #greykitchen #kitchendesigninspiration

    Create a cosy open plan kitchen with soft furnishings, calm tones and beautiful accessories ❤️Rugs, pendant lights and accessories not only make your kitchen feel homely and look stunning, but they help define the zones within your space. Here, pendant lights create a feature to emphasise the central island and sociable seating, whilst a sofa divides the living area and creates a cosy nook, with a gorgeous rug as a central focus point.Soft shades of blue and grey blend the spaces into an open and spacious kitchen diner, whilst clever techniques to zone each area keep it feeling warm and cosy 🥰 #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchendiner #openplankitchen #openplanliving #interiordesignideas #kitcheninspo #kitchendesignideas #spaciouskitchen #kitchenlivingroom #interiortips #interiordecor #kitchenextension #kitchendesign #kitchenisland #pendantlights #cosykitchen #shakerkitchen #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #independentdesigner #interiordesignadvice

    A lovely splash of sunshine ☀️Grey kitchens don’t have to be boring - they provide the freedom to add your own personality to the space with touches of colour.

    Utility rooms don’t have to be big to be beautiful 😍 Your utility room has to work harder than most rooms in the house, so it’s just as important as the kitchen when it comes to getting the design just right! This particular utility room was originally a porch on the back of the house, a space that wasn’t fulfilling its potential. With stacked laundry appliances, a small sink, and additional storage, this new utility room creates the perfect functional space, taking a lot of pressure off the family kitchen diner. #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #utilityroomideas #utilityroominspo #utilityroomgoals #laundryroomdesign #kitchendesigninspiration #smallutilityroom #kitchenutility #shakerkitchendesign

    Not sure where to start with your home renovations? Start with us! We can help advise you on the best options for your space, tailored to your needs - whether that’s a kitchen re-fit, an extension, or interior design. Clients are often unsure whether to speak to us first, or finalise architect designs/building work before coming to us. We find that getting a designer involved at the very start of a project is a good way to start with the end in mind, and gives us a little more room to play with in our designs!We can make sure you can achieve the perfect home by making suggestions that optimise the space, such as structural details and re-positioning doors and windows. We can help you make tricky decisions and use our experience and expertise to guide you along the way throughout the entire project ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchenextensionideas #kitchenproject #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #kitchendesignideas #openplankitchen #kitchenislandgoals #newkitchenideas #timelesskitchendesign #shakerkitchens #navykitchens #lightkitchen

    For a timeless kitchen that will never go out of style, choose Aldana ✨This simple shaker door is in keeping with a classic style, but with a slimmer frame for a sleek contemporary look. This makes it so versatile - Aldana can be styled as either traditional or modern to create beautifully timeless interiors.Other features to prevent your kitchen looking dated include natural finishes and warm neutral tones, adding softness for a warm and cosy interior. Consider some freestanding furniture and add colour with soft furnishings and accessories.Most importantly, ignore the latest ‘trends’ that will go out of fashion - choose only what you LOVE for your perfect kitchen, and it will never go out of style ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #timelesskitchendesign #kitchenrenovation #sustainablekitchendesign #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #kitchendesigntips #interiordesignadvice #shakerkitchens #modernshakerkitchen #traditionalkitchendesign #herringbonesplashback #countrykitchenstyle #classickitchens

    To extend or not to extend? 🤔Extensions are a popular home renovation, with many of our clients dreaming of big open plan kitchens, but an extension is not always necessary to create your dream kitchen! We believe in helping our clients save money where possible, and extending is often not the most cost effective option…For this Woolton Hill, Hampshire kitchen, an extension was the only way our clients had considered making their kitchen work, but they were put off by the cost. We looked at the existing kitchen and suggested that with a more efficient design, we could create the kitchen of their dreams - without the costly extension!The existing back door split the kitchen in half, creating a corridor through the middle, and a dumping ground in the unusable half of the room. This made the working area of the kitchen small and cramped, so our clients felt the space was not big enough for their dream family kitchen. We suggested moving the back door, making the kitchen almost twice the size for a substantially lower cost than an extension, and creating a sociable family kitchen within their existing space. If you are dreaming of a new kitchen and can’t decide whether to extend your home, get in touch for our advice - we will help you explore the options to decide whether an extension is really necessary to create your own dream kitchen 🤩#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchenextensionideas #hampshirekitchens #familykitchendesign #moderncottagekitchen #sleekkitchen #contemporarykitchen #kitchendesignadvice #kitchendesigninspiration #kitchenrenovation #handlelesskitchens #peninsulakitchen

    Loving this long drawn out summer! We have been a bit quiet on here so very sorry to anyone who has been looking for inspiration! As a family-run business it can be really hard to juggle everything, and social media can end up at the bottom of the pile. Our daughter started school this week though so we are back to work and feeling fresh! I adore this time of year for feeling new, I think it’s the crisp mornings nature getting ready to shed all of the leaves and bits it no longer needs. We are currently working on a dining room, snug and study for a lovely client… We look forward to bringing you progress pics. We then have three or four kitchens to fit by Christmas - depending how builders get on! Greens, blues, greys and whites are still looking popular choices for our clients going forward, and we are even doing some bespoke colours with @kitchen_stori which is very exciting! Although work-wise we are into the “I need it finished by Christmas” countdown, I will be here working surrounded by my beautiful @weaver.green textiles for as long as the weather allows! Happy Friday - have a wonderful weekend! ☀️ Nikita ~ Honest by Design Founder

    Sometimes it’s the small spaces that require design input more than the big ones. As part of this Hampshire kitchen renovation we managed to create a functional utility room and cloakroom from this old wasted hallway. Bonus being it’s so easy to get the washing out onto the line from here! In the UK most of us are not blessed with giant homes. Instead, we have to be wise and creative about how we use the space we have. If you don’t know where to start give us a call - we would love to hear from you! 📞 #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #smallutilityroom #functionalutilityspace #smallhomedesign #smallspacesdesign #utilityroomdecor #hampshirebusiness #hampshirekitchens #newburykitchens #hampshirehomes

    When we first met this couple who live on the Hampshire / Berkshire border they were pulling in opposite directions on whether to go for modern handless or shaker. We designed it in both options to give them a really good idea how each would look, and show the advantages and disadvantages of each. The principal cooks preference for handleless won! #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #moderncottagekitchen #cottagekitchen #handlelesscottagekitchen #hampshirekitchens #newburykitchen #highclerehome #hampshirehomes

    In this Berkshire shaker kitchen, our clients insisted on keeping their navy blue aga whilst changing to a green colour scheme for their new kitchen. We were happy to save the old aga, suggesting a subtle shade of green with added touches of blue to complement the new kitchen, including a decorative sideboard for display. These design elements make the blue aga a striking pop of colour that ties in with the rest of the timeless classic kitchen design ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #countrykitchen #greenkitchens #blueandgreendecor #blueaga #classickitchen #timelesskitchendesign #sustainablekitchens #berkshirekitchens #interiorkitchen #kitchendesignideas #interiordesignadvice

    Nothing makes us happier than happy clients 🥰 Knowing that the spaces we have designed are enjoyed is the best feedback. This Hampshire kitchen was dark and small before the wall was removed, and the space was opened up to accommodate this stunning light grey shaker kitchen. The accents of purple work so well to inject colour and personality, but are subtle enough for the look to be classic and timeless. #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #purplekitchen #greyshakerkitchen #mirrortile #hampshirekitchens #highcleremums

    Don’t forget your outdoor spaces! If you are lucky enough to have doors from a room out to the garden, always treat that garden space as an extension of the interior with furniture, and furnishings. This can be especially important for smaller houses, and in the summer months allows you to massively increase your living space! Lovely for long summer days at home. #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #hampshiregardens #smallgardenspace #gardensofa

    Let’s talk about sideboards. We always try and create a space for “stuff”, no matter how small the kitchen is. Otherwise we find items like handbags, post and keys get dumped on islands and in working parts of the kitchen - which is annoying, and messy. In this Oxfordshire kitchen we used kitchen cabinets in a green as a feature colour, with curved end cabinets for softness. #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #greenkitchencabinets #greenshakerkitchen #oxfordkitchens #oxfordshirekitchens @kitchen_stori @worktopexpress

    In open plan spaces, a cohesive design is especially important for a space that flows as one, whilst still functioning as multiple separate areas - such as kitchen, dining area, and snug.A great way to improve the relationship between each separate zone is incorporating the same cabinets from your kitchen into your living spaces - including, but not limited to - bench seating, TV stands, sideboards, bookcases, dressers and other decorative display furniture.In larger open plan spaces, this additional furniture can introduce a contrasting or feature colour to create a more distinct separation between kitchen and living areas, whilst accessorising these zones with more colour or complimentary tones ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchendesigntips #interiordesignadvice #kitchensideboard #displayshelves #openplanliving #openplankitchen #kitchendiner #cosyinteriors #timelessinteriors #traditionalkitchen

    A touch of purple. 💜 No offence to all of our blue kitchen clients (your kitchens are all fabulous) - but it was fun to do something different! We have one rule and one rule only when it comes to choosing colour. It must be something YOU love. Not what your friend has and definitely not the “latest colour trend” 🙄 We want you to love your interior space forever - not just for a few years until the next “must have” comes along.

    ✨ Samples ✨ Choosing colours and materials is an important stage in designing your interior, so take your time with these decisions.

    Modern or traditional - how do you choose which style to go for in your interior? As well as your personal taste, there are so many factors to consider when choosing the style of your kitchen or interior. One example is architecture - does the age or style of your home impact the design of your interior? Consider features such as beams, fireplaces and mouldings, as well as natural lighting.Lifestyle is also an important consideration - small children and pets may require a sleeker, modern look for easy cleaning. Or perhaps you have lots of decorative items and accessories on display, so would prefer a traditional style for a more homely feel.Most importantly, a designer can help you prioritise all the important factors for your interior, offer honest advice, and suggest solutions you may not have considered!#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #modernvstraditional #modernkitchendesign #hampshirekitchens #interiordesigntips #interiordesignideas #kitchendesigntips #interiorinspiration #kitcheninspo #kitchenideas #kitchenpeninsula #sleekkitchen #modernhome #kbbmag

    We always encourage our clients to ignore fashion trends and go for what they LOVE, so their interiors never go out of style.Find inspiration from existing furniture and other items in your home that you already love - this can be the perfect inspiration for your new interior and we are always happy to incorporate existing items into our designs.For this client, we were tasked with incorporating their existing big yellow sofa into an open plan kitchen. We do love a challenge!We used blues and dark greys in the living area of the kitchen to complement the yellow sofa and really make it pop as a key feature of the space. We added some yellow cushions to subtly tie it in to the bespoke bench seating for a cohesive design and homely interior.What favourite piece of furniture would inspire the design of your interior? #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #moderninteriordesign #sleekkitchen #yellowsofa #uniqueinteriors #yellowinteriors #openplankitchens #interiordesigninspiration #hampshirekitchens #interiordesignhampshire

    Worktops ✨ wooden worktops add warmth and a homely feel to a traditional kitchen, but it’s not always the most practical choice!

    A well designed utility room is a valuable addition to your new kitchen! We have designed some fabulous utility rooms as multifunctional spaces - often incorporating a boot room, laundry area, bench seating, messy sink, food prep area, and of course, always plenty of storage!

    A little behind the scenes… We spend a lot of time sketching and planning to explore all the possibilities for your new space - it’s so important to consider the flow of traffic through the house, and not just the kitchen. This is where it is important for us to know more about how you use the rest of your home. If you often go out for muddy walks, and use your back door more than your front door, this will make a big impact on the design of your kitchen layout. Where guests enter the kitchen when entertaining is also important; this would be the best place to position sociable seating such as stools at the island, to encourage guests to sit down and not linger in doorways or get in the way of cooking.We think about access to the back door from the washing machine to hang your washing on the line, we consider the position of your dishwasher for conveniently unpacking into the kitchen cupboards, and we even take into account any furry family members with integrated dog beds and cat flaps (swipe to see a very happy pooch in his new bed)!All the little details are so important to us to make sure we design the perfect functional space for you and your family ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #practicaldesign #functionalinteriors #interiordesignsolutions #independentdesigner #interiordesignsketch #kitchenplanning #kitchendesignerberkshire #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #kitchendesignsolutions #kitchendogbed #bespokekitchendesign

    Unique and original items add interest and ensure your home is not the carbon copy of some Instagram ‘dream home’ – finding inspiration from social media, websites, blogs and magazines is brilliant, but don’t be afraid to mix and match, and only ever include things that you love.

    Where do you stand in your kitchen?Deciding whether to include a sink or hob on your island is a purely personal choice and depends on how you use your kitchen. Some clients find they spend a lot of time at the sink, whilst others stand at the hob or preparing food on the biggest area of worktop available in the kitchen. If you are considering an island or peninsula in your kitchen, it is important to think about where you spend most time in the kitchen, but also the way you use it. For example, if your kitchen sink is often piled with dirty dishes, the island might not be the best place for it! Would you choose to put your sink or hob on the island?#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchenislanddesign #kitchenislandideas #kitchenpeninsula #kitchendesigntips #interiordesignadvice #belfastsink #shakerkitchen #timelesskitchendesign #kitchensberkshire #hampshirekitchens #cosykitchen #independentdesigner #hampshiredesigner

    OK, so a galley kitchen might not be on the top of your list, but keep an open mind! To make the best use of a space, galley style kitchens can be a really efficient layout when designed well. A galley style in a smaller open plan kitchen for example can create a natural divide between kitchen and dining, and keep small children safely out of the cooking zone. Two parallel runs of cabinets can also create a convenient cooking area with plenty of worktop space and storage, whilst the simplicity of a galley style kitchen can make the space feel larger, and avoids awkward corners.

    Especially if you are short on space, curves can be a great way to include additional storage without reducing the ease of circulation around the kitchen. Curved cabinets can also provide an attractive feature in both traditional and contemporary designs. Limiting the pinch points and sharp edges can make a room feel larger and more open, without sacrificing large amounts of worktop space and storage, and they can work in a kitchen of any size or layout ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #shakerkitchendesign #independentdesigner #curvedcabinets #kitchendesigntips #interiordesignadvice #greykitchen #kitchendesigninspiration

    Create a cosy open plan kitchen with soft furnishings, calm tones and beautiful accessories ❤️Rugs, pendant lights and accessories not only make your kitchen feel homely and look stunning, but they help define the zones within your space. Here, pendant lights create a feature to emphasise the central island and sociable seating, whilst a sofa divides the living area and creates a cosy nook, with a gorgeous rug as a central focus point.Soft shades of blue and grey blend the spaces into an open and spacious kitchen diner, whilst clever techniques to zone each area keep it feeling warm and cosy 🥰 #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchendiner #openplankitchen #openplanliving #interiordesignideas #kitcheninspo #kitchendesignideas #spaciouskitchen #kitchenlivingroom #interiortips #interiordecor #kitchenextension #kitchendesign #kitchenisland #pendantlights #cosykitchen #shakerkitchen #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #independentdesigner #interiordesignadvice

    Utility rooms don’t have to be big to be beautiful 😍 Your utility room has to work harder than most rooms in the house, so it’s just as important as the kitchen when it comes to getting the design just right!

With stacked laundry appliances, a small sink, and additional storage, this new utility room creates the perfect functional space, taking a lot of pressure off the family kitchen diner. #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #utilityroomideas #utilityroominspo #utilityroomgoals #laundryroomdesign #kitchendesigninspiration #smallutilityroom #kitchenutility #shakerkitchendesign

    Not sure where to start with your home renovations? Start with us! We can help advise you on the best options for your space, tailored to your needs - whether that’s a kitchen re-fit, an extension, or interior design. Clients are often unsure whether to speak to us first, or finalise architect designs/building work before coming to us. We find that getting a designer involved at the very start of a project is a good way to start with the end in mind, and gives us a little more room to play with in our designs!We can make sure you can achieve the perfect home by making suggestions that optimise the space, such as structural details and re-positioning doors and windows.

    For a timeless kitchen that will never go out of style, choose Aldana ✨This simple shaker door is in keeping with a classic style, but with a slimmer frame for a sleek contemporary look. This makes it so versatile - Aldana can be styled as either traditional or modern to create beautifully timeless interiors.Other features to prevent your kitchen looking dated include natural finishes and warm neutral tones, adding softness for a warm and cosy interior. Consider some freestanding furniture and add colour with soft furnishings and accessories.Most importantly, ignore the latest ‘trends’ that will go out of fashion - choose only what you LOVE for your perfect kitchen, and it will never go out of style ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #timelesskitchendesign #kitchenrenovation #sustainablekitchendesign #hampshirekitchens #berkshirekitchens #kitchendesigntips #interiordesignadvice #shakerkitchens #modernshakerkitchen #traditionalkitchendesign #herringbonesplashback #countrykitchenstyle #classickitchens

    To extend or not to extend? 🤔Extensions are a popular home renovation, with many of our clients dreaming of big open plan kitchens, but an extension is not always necessary to create your dream kitchen! We believe in helping our clients save money where possible, and extending is often not the most cost effective option…For this Woolton Hill, Hampshire kitchen, an extension was the only way our clients had considered making their kitchen work, but they were put off by the cost. We looked at the existing kitchen and suggested that with a more efficient design, we could create the kitchen of their dreams - without the costly extension!The existing back door split the kitchen in half, creating a corridor through the middle, and a dumping ground in the unusable half of the room. This made the working area of the kitchen small and cramped, so our clients felt the space was not big enough for their dream family kitchen. We suggested moving the back door, making the kitchen almost twice the size for a substantially lower cost than an extension, and creating a sociable family kitchen within their existing space. If you are dreaming of a new kitchen and can’t decide whether to extend your home, get in touch for our advice - we will help you explore the options to decide whether an extension is really necessary to create your own dream kitchen 🤩#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchenextensionideas #hampshirekitchens #familykitchendesign #moderncottagekitchen #sleekkitchen #contemporarykitchen #kitchendesignadvice #kitchendesigninspiration #kitchenrenovation #handlelesskitchens #peninsulakitchen

    Loving this long drawn out summer! We have been a bit quiet on here so very sorry to anyone who has been looking for inspiration! As a family-run business it can be really hard to juggle everything, and social media can end up at the bottom of the pile. Our daughter started school this week though so we are back to work and feeling fresh! I adore this time of year for feeling new, I think it’s the crisp mornings nature getting ready to shed all of the leaves and bits it no longer needs. We are currently working on a dining room, snug and study for a lovely client… We look forward to bringing you progress pics. We then have three or four kitchens to fit by Christmas - depending how builders get on! Greens, blues, greys and whites are still looking popular choices for our clients going forward, and we are even doing some bespoke colours with @kitchen_stori which is very exciting! Although work-wise we are into the “I need it finished by Christmas” countdown, I will be here working surrounded by my beautiful @weaver.green textiles for as long as the weather allows! Happy Friday - have a wonderful weekend! ☀️ Nikita ~ Honest by Design Founder

    Sometimes it’s the small spaces that require design input more than the big ones. As part of this Hampshire kitchen renovation we managed to create a functional utility room and cloakroom from this old wasted hallway. Bonus being it’s so easy to get the washing out onto the line from here! In the UK most of us are not blessed with giant homes. Instead, we have to be wise and creative about how we use the space we have.

    When we first met this couple who live on the Hampshire / Berkshire border they were pulling in opposite directions on whether to go for modern handless or shaker. We designed it in both options to give them a really good idea how each would look, and show the advantages and disadvantages of each.

    In this Berkshire shaker kitchen, our clients insisted on keeping their navy blue aga whilst changing to a green colour scheme for their new kitchen. We were happy to save the old aga, suggesting a subtle shade of green with added touches of blue to complement the new kitchen, including a decorative sideboard for display.

The accents of purple work so well to inject colour and personality, but are subtle enough for the look to be classic and timeless. #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #purplekitchen #greyshakerkitchen #mirrortile #hampshirekitchens #highcleremums

    Don’t forget your outdoor spaces! If you are lucky enough to have doors from a room out to the garden, always treat that garden space as an extension of the interior with furniture, and furnishings. This can be especially important for smaller houses, and in the summer months allows you to massively increase your living space! Lovely for long summer days at home. #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #hampshiregardens #smallgardenspace #gardensofa

    Let’s talk about sideboards. We always try and create a space for “stuff”, no matter how small the kitchen is. Otherwise we find items like handbags, post and keys get dumped on islands and in working parts of the kitchen - which is annoying, and messy. In this Oxfordshire kitchen we used kitchen cabinets in a green as a feature colour, with curved end cabinets for softness. #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #greenkitchencabinets #greenshakerkitchen #oxfordkitchens #oxfordshirekitchens @kitchen_stori @worktopexpress

    In open plan spaces, a cohesive design is especially important for a space that flows as one, whilst still functioning as multiple separate areas - such as kitchen, dining area, and snug.A great way to improve the relationship between each separate zone is incorporating the same cabinets from your kitchen into your living spaces - including, but not limited to - bench seating, TV stands, sideboards, bookcases, dressers and other decorative display furniture.In larger open plan spaces, this additional furniture can introduce a contrasting or feature colour to create a more distinct separation between kitchen and living areas, whilst accessorising these zones with more colour or complimentary tones ✨#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #kitchendesigntips #interiordesignadvice #kitchensideboard #displayshelves #openplanliving #openplankitchen #kitchendiner #cosyinteriors #timelessinteriors #traditionalkitchen

    A touch of purple. 💜 No offence to all of our blue kitchen clients (your kitchens are all fabulous) - but it was fun to do something different! We have one rule and one rule only when it comes to choosing colour. It must be something YOU love. Not what your friend has and definitely not the “latest colour trend” 🙄 We want you to love your interior space forever - not just for a few years until the next “must have” comes along.

    Modern or traditional - how do you choose which style to go for in your interior? As well as your personal taste, there are so many factors to consider when choosing the style of your kitchen or interior. One example is architecture - does the age or style of your home impact the design of your interior? Consider features such as beams, fireplaces and mouldings, as well as natural lighting.Lifestyle is also an important consideration - small children and pets may require a sleeker, modern look for easy cleaning. Or perhaps you have lots of decorative items and accessories on display, so would prefer a traditional style for a more homely feel.Most importantly, a designer can help you prioritise all the important factors for your interior, offer honest advice, and suggest solutions you may not have considered!#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #modernvstraditional #modernkitchendesign #hampshirekitchens #interiordesigntips #interiordesignideas #kitchendesigntips #interiorinspiration #kitcheninspo #kitchenideas #kitchenpeninsula #sleekkitchen #modernhome #kbbmag

We do love a challenge!We used blues and dark greys in the living area of the kitchen to complement the yellow sofa and really make it pop as a key feature of the space. We added some yellow cushions to subtly tie it in to the bespoke bench seating for a cohesive design and homely interior.What favourite piece of furniture would inspire the design of your interior? #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #moderninteriordesign #sleekkitchen #yellowsofa #uniqueinteriors #yellowinteriors #openplankitchens #interiordesigninspiration #hampshirekitchens #interiordesignhampshire
