Epping Forest Pink Kitchen

There is soft pink, bold blue and punchy yellow in this playful family kitchen. Set in a house nestled on the edge of Epping Forest, it’s not just the colour scheme that brings a cheeky sense of fun, a double height ceiling over the dining table is a confident, dramatic statement too – signifiers that our clients wanted to create a space that stops you in your tracks. MW Architects worked their magic on the design (interior and architectural), disjointed rooms were connected and a close link between the kitchen and beautiful garden was forged. The footprint of the kitchen is actually fairly compact, but we managed to incorporate lots of storage with a wall of cupboards that arch over a doorway, utilising a wall that otherwise would be empty.  Elsewhere, a peninsula provides more work surface and enables people in the kitchen to face the dining room whilst prepping meals. Fluted glass cabinets give light wall storage and sit next to open shelves, a place to both store and display ceramics. MW Architects say ‘The project celebrates colour and fun as part of everyday living so a turquoise vinyl floor became one of the main features of the space, alongside our client’s pink kitchen of dreams from Pluck. This was paired with bespoke, handcrafted joinery, metal balustrades and a custom made terrazzo worktop from Resilica, which contains shades of turquoise, pink and amber recycled glass to match the overall colour palette’. This renovation they say ‘brings more joy to family living’, a wonderful achievement, we are delighted to have been part of!
