design et al are delighted to announce the successful short listing of Taylor Interiors for the Kitchen Design Over £100,000 Award.
This newly built luxury modern villa which was furnished for a Norwegian client as their summer holiday retreat, has the most stunning sea views. Taylor Interiors were very fortunate that the client allowed us to work with some of the best Italian brands and got adequate financial budget. We were granted a lot of freedom in terms of selecting the items and fabrics for soft furnishing. The client also supported our selection of art. The house is very specious and most of the rooms enjoys stunning sea views. The villa is airy and very light, and we wanted to make sure that the kitchen worked within this environment.
The kitchen employs clean lines. Brushed steel and slate were used to contrast with a stunning natural stone wall at one end of the kitchen. Simple white transparent curtains were used also which transformed the kitchen space into a cool and etherial environment. The kitchen consists of a large central brushed steel island which houses the sink and cooking facilites. Above this floats a stainless steel extractor, which when silhouetted against the natural stone wall backdrop, showcases the stunning contrast of materials. A wall of dark grey cupboards units monopolise a further wall, whos exterior material reflects the natural outside light around this calming space. A further island of white high gloss units is set at right angles to the first. Once again this white refelctive covering disperses light around this modern yet functional space. There are two seperate dining areas, one housed internally which is bright and has stunning views to the outside of the property. The second area is covered and enjoys magnificent views to the ocean.
