We particularly like the&nbsp;kitchen with its accents of sage and oak and subtle curves. The design preserved the existing horseshoe layout (see Before shot at bottom) but turned the uninspired&nbsp;into something glamorous and fresh-looking.<\/p>\n<p>Photography by Felix Forest, courtesy of Arent &amp; Pyke.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2186483010388833321.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Above: The kitchen is set in the back of the house&nbsp;overlooking the garden, which provided inspiration for the color and materials choices. \u201cThe palette,\u201d the designers say,&nbsp;\u201cis layered from the earth&nbsp;upwards,&nbsp;growing from silver travertine flooring to mossy green cabinetry and natural solid oak with a fade to pure white.\u201d Black accents also punctuate&nbsp;the space, including a classic Thonet bentwood barstool.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1178364086291749975.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Above: Meet the curvaceous kitchen: The Calacatta marble counters&nbsp;are detailed with rounded edges that are echoed by the oak finger grooves on the cabinets,&nbsp;the Astral Walker spout&nbsp;faucet, and the contours of the Belfast butler\u2019s sink.<\/p>\n<p>The open shelves have arched&nbsp;brackets made of&nbsp;MDF: \u201cWe couldn\u2019t find the right little black brackets,\u201d explained Arent &amp; Pyke associate&nbsp;Dominique Brammah. \u201cso we designed our own and our crew made them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3606361611002623377.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Above: The cabinets are in&nbsp;Moorland from Dulux paints, \u201ca&nbsp;semigloss enamel that we rolled on and then finished with a brush,\u201d says Brammah. \u201cIt\u2019s very hard-wearing and unlike two-pack polyurethane paints, you can touch it up if it gets scratched or chipped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2612918316524316507.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Above: The glossy, outsize subway tiles are handmade (sourced from The Art of Tiles) and the Miller sconces are by Rubn: See&nbsp;New Classics from Sweden.
