THE BEACONSFIELD KITCHEN PROJECT
A Hand-Painted Bespoke Kitchen for a Victorian Townhouse
Creating a kitchen for a Victorian townhouse requires a careful balance between timeless character and modern practicality. For the Beaconsfield project, Heather had a clear vision for the style she wanted. Working together, we designed and created a warm, welcoming kitchen that would become the heart of the home, complemented by bespoke storage beneath the stairs.

A Bespoke Townhouse Kitchen
The kitchen was designed around a classic, understated aesthetic, with solid timber cabinet frames and beautifully finished flat painted doors and drawer fronts.
A warm colour palette gives the room a welcoming feel, while traditional details including tongue and groove back panelling and open shelving add texture and character. The result is a timeless family kitchen that feels perfectly suited to the Victorian setting while providing all the functionality needed for modern living.
Thoughtful Storage Designed Around Everyday Life
As with every Chapel Lane project, the design considered not only how the furniture would look, but how it would improve everyday life.
A tall pantry cupboard provides generous and easily accessible food storage, while deep drawers have been incorporated beneath the stairs to make use of an otherwise overlooked area.
The under-stair cabinetry was designed and made specifically for the space, creating valuable additional storage while maintaining the clean, considered appearance of the kitchen.
Elegant Materials and Traditional Details
The combination of painted cabinetry, natural timber detailing and open shelving gives the kitchen its distinctive character.
20mm solid quartz worktops provide a durable and elegant surface, while a brass Franke bridge tap adds a refined finishing detail that complements the warm tones of the room.
Every element has been carefully considered to create a kitchen that feels cohesive, practical and inviting.
A Kitchen Designed to Welcome People In
At the centre of the design was the desire to create a space where people could relax, gather and enjoy time together. The result is a hand-painted bespoke kitchen that combines traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful storage and practical modern functionality.
From the tall pantry and under-stair drawers to the tongue and groove detailing and carefully selected finishes, each element was designed to make a positive difference to everyday family life
