South Bank Kitchen Concept, York
The client wanted a budget kitchen upgrade in their period terrace that encompassed their love of retro and vintage, scandi design and their fondness for yellow and orange. The space was small but with high ceilings and storage needs were considerable. They had a lot of very colourful and cool vintage artwork, bar stools and accessories to incorporate and some thriving houseplants.
I designed a concept using clever solutions such as double height cabinets to maximise storage and created a pantry area under the stairs. Using light and bright colours and glass to make the space feel larger and also to reference the clean lines of Scandinavian design that the client loves but avoiding the creation of soulless white box. A chequerboard floor solution that is low cost but highly functional and packs a significant design punch providing the perfect foundation for the white and light wood kitchen cabinetry. The olive and mint tones in the blind fabric, pendant lighting and the tile grouting balances, compliments and grounds the yellow and orange punches and the white space. The cabinetry, flooring, tile, blind and accessories were all specified to come in within budget.
I created a presentation for the client outlining the concept with a mood board and with 3D visualisations.
