It was our Remodelista friend Megan Wilson who tipped us off to Inglis Hall, a new-to-us kitchen maker based in East Sussex, England. The company was founded in 2013 by woodworker Toby Hall, who over the course of a two-year residential project that involved 10 carpenters building the frame, the kitchen, and all the wardrobes (basically every woodworking element in the house), discovered that he had a knack for combining traditional cabinet-making with contemporary design.<\/p>\n

Today, Inglis Hall continues to create bespoke timber features for every room of the house, from staircases to closets, but it\u2019s their kitchens that interest us\u2014in particular, this one set in a grand 17th-century Queen Anne manor house on the rural outskirts of Lewes. The clients \u201care a large, very social family with multiple generations under one roof, and with many relatives and friends visiting on almost constant rotation. The kitchen is a hub of activity and certainly the most crucial space in this residence, with rarely less than a dozen for dinner each night,\u201d says Peter Spence, Inglis Hall\u2019s head of design.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were keen to produce a design that was sympathetic and fitting for the property, and yet truly represented the individual character of our clients,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n

We think they nailed it. While the cabinets and materials are traditional, the palette chosen for the room\u2014a surprising mix of drabware hues and bright dashes of color\u2014feels fresh and full of personality.<\/p>\n

Above: Aside from the impeccably crafted cabinets, it\u2019s the color palette chosen for the space that stands out. \u201cWe worked with our good friend Simon Marchand, from Marchand Son here in Lewes, for all of the paints on this project,\u201d says Peter. (For more on the brand, see Color Makes People Happy.) \u201cOn the walls we chose \u2018Prosthetic Limb,\u2019 with \u2018Beige by Any Other Name\u2019 for the main kitchen cabinets and the island, and then \u2018That Guy Will Never Make It Selling Those Shoes\u2019 for the large walk-in larder and the sideboard. Finally, there was \u2018Smart Tony,\u2019 which was used in high gloss for the window frames and doors leading off from the kitchen.\u201d

Above: The stools are from Inglis Hall\u2019s Laine\u2019s Collection, their first furniture collection. \u201cThe stools come in band-sawn English oak or a range of hand-painted colors to order. On this occasion, color was appropriate!\u201d says Peter. \u201cThe narrow slots next to the refrigerator house a series of dovetailed oak trays for sending snacks and meals out to the lawn or throughout the house.\u201d,

Above: The countertops are \u2018Topus\u2019 quartz Caesarstone. The refrigerator is Fisher & Paykel\u2019s fully integrated RS90A1 with stainless-steel doors.

Above: \u201cWe paired Perrin & Rowe\u2019s Ionian faucet in aged brass with Quooker\u2019s traditional boiling water tap, which we had refinished to match the aged brass of the main tap,\u201d Peter says. The stove is an Everhot range.

Above: French doors lead to the walk-in pantry. The flooring is honed York slate.

Above: The sideboard features Carrara marble. The glass doors here lead to the garden room, which was also designed and built by Inglis Hall.

Above: \u201cThese are beautiful copies of antique handles in solid brass and with a lovely soft patina,\u201d says Peter.
Above: Peter\u2019s favorite part of the project is this drinks cabinet: \u201cThe kitchen is partially divided into two spaces: the main kitchen and an informal seating area around a large fireplace. This is where a little drinks station with a Carrara stone worktop, painted tongue-and-groove paneling, wrap-around shelves with corbel brackets, oak-fronted drawers, and open wine racks all sit behind two three-quarter height doors.\u201d <\/p>\n
