Cottage Kitchen, Grey Metro & Oak Worktop

A smaller cottage kitchen renovated end to end: cream shaker units with cup handles, solid oak worktops, a grey metro-tiled splashback and a gas hob over an integrated oven, all under a retained timber beam. A slate-effect tiled floor runs to a glazed door onto the garden.

Not every renovation is a grand space — a lot of the best work is a modest room done properly. Here the run is set out to make the most of a compact footprint, the oak tops warm the scheme, and the retained beam keeps the cottage character.
