Coming Soon! New Contemporary Kitchen Range

Things have been pretty busy here at Planet of late! We've been lucky enough to have been working on lots of lovely projects and we're currently in the middle of an exciting showroom refurbishment to make way for some new furniture that we can't wait to tell you about!

In addition to our handmade furniture we have decided to expand our contemporary range and in conjuction with a German manufacturer will be offering an exciting new product, some examples of which you can see below.

The stylish new range is built to the highest standards and features all the latest technologies that you would expect from your kitchen. There is a large selection of stunning door styles on offer which allows for endless design possibilities and options in a range of superior materials and finishes. 

Do let us know what you think of the new furniture and if you'd like to know more then please get in touch.

Beautiful Period Home Refurbishment

We've got an exciting project to show you today!

We were asked to provide the furniture throughout this newly remodelled period house and we knew that the result was going to be stunning as the property belonged to a retired architect. We were involved at an early stage, which is always great as we can influence the design to make the best of the available space.

The brief for the kitchen was to create a simplistic and functional space for cooking, socialising and relaxing with the emphasis being on design and materials. This was achieved with a mostly white and stainless steel colour scheme against a real oak floor which gives the room warmth. 

The client wanted a focal point for the kitchen and as the house is situated in a village with beautiful woods nearby, decided to incorporate a photo of them in bluebell season, for which we provided the photography which was fun to shoot! The photo was then enlarged and applied to the wall behind the sink run with clear glass on top for protection. This really is a beautiful and unexpected way of adding colour to a neutral space and can be changed when required.

Heres a closer shot of the photograph splashback which I'm sure you'll agree looks stunning.

The kitchen is lay-on in design with hand painted shaker doors and frames with brushed stainless steel bar handles. As we were involved in the design from an early stage we were able to recess the Neff ovens and two cooks pantrys (at the back of the photo below) neatly into the kitchen wall. The doors of the cooks pantrys fold back to create maximum storage and small working areas inside. 

The work surfaces throughout are white quartz adding to the modern but understated feel and the island has beautiful stainless steel legs and supports running around it's perimeter. The Neff induction hob is flush fitted and we also designed in an integrated chopping board. As you can see below there is a cosy corner with a sofa to relax in along with seating at the far end of the island.

We also designed these handpainted bookcases in the living room either side of the beautiful fireplace. 

They are painted in shades of grey from Farrow and Ball and have cockbead detailing to each shelf and frame. 

The bookcase below also discreetly houses the T.V. 

The bi-fold doors can be opened and closed accordingly.



The client also requested a small bar area adjoined to the lounge which we thought was a really neat idea! Ideal for entertaining especially at large social gatherings.



Here's another bookcase we installed below.



And finally we designed this beautiful desk using the same detailing as the kitchen island.

We were very lucky to be involved in such a wonderful project. What do you think about the kitchen with it's bluebell splashback? Do you like the muted colour scheme used throughout? And the bar area next to the lounge? We'd love to know your thoughts.

Sleek & Contemporary Family Kitchen

We thought we'd share a contemporary kitchen with you today. The previous kitchen area was remodelled to create a beautiful large open space complete with folding sliding doors to the garden. The design is based around a central island which also has seating for two people.

The kitchen is lay-on style with high gloss doors in Parapan Latte, the walnut trim to the furniture adds a beautiful contrast, as does the timber flooring which keeps the space feeling warm. 

The glass splash backs are lit with colour changing LED pelmet lights which really adds some wow factor. They also reflect beautifully on the Caesarstone Desert Sand Quartz worktops.  

The high gloss doors contrast beautifully with the timber, it's a combination which customers ask for time and time again.

Parapan is so versatile and lends itself perfectly to this curved island. The Franke Swiss-Pro Tap makes a real statement along with the Franke under mounted sink.

We designed this piece of walnut furniture to fit to the underside of the stairs, it houses a wine rack, fridge and freezer and extra storage space.

Even though the units look like they all have separate doors, they are actually double height lift-up doors. The hob was flush mounted with the worktop to give the work surface a streamlined feel.

So what do you think of Parapan? Do you like the colour changing LED lights?

A Beautiful Family Kitchen Inspired by Nature

We've got a beautiful family kitchen for you today, that takes it's inspiration from the outdoors with it's mix of earthy colours and natural materials. The setting: a new extension within a period property in a picturesque village location.

The client wanted to create a calm and light space for the family to gather, dine and relax. The new extension opened up the existing kitchen space to provide a large kitchen and dining area complete with comfy sofa's and folding sliding doors to the garden.

The in-frame style kitchen is based around a central island and hand painted in the muted tones of Slipper Satin and London Stone from Farrow and Ball.

The curved furniture allows the kitchen to flow and maximises storage space.

The island worktop is planked oak, the grain leading your eye to the beautiful garden views.

The Neff appliances and polished Emerald Pearl granite work surface to the sink run contrast beautifully with the light cabinets and stone tiled floor. The stainless steel elements such as the Franke Panto Tap, Blanco Supreme sink, pendant lights and handles help to tie the whole scheme together.

It's all in the detail: cockbead framed drawers with hammered britannium cup handles.
