The owner of this home had lived with an inherited kitchen for more than 10 years, during which time she’d updated the rest of her home with another interior designer, who’d then moved abroad. She found Natasha Burton of NB Interiors UK on Houzz — where she’d spotted another very small kitchen the designer had worked on — and got in touch. “She was quite nervous about working with someone new,” Burton says, “but we got on really well.”
There wasn’t much room for change in the layout of this small room, but Burton’s clever redesign has given it more than an aesthetic revamp. Along with a streamlined use of color, materials and pattern, small changes to shelf lengths, doors and the location of wall hooks, plus a “disappearing” boiler, have helped to create a sense of more space, as well as better-organized storage.
