Kitchen of the Week: A Jewel Box Kitchen in the English Countryside

January 27, 2022

Located in a once-derelict country cottage in the village of Sadberge in County Durham, this petite kitchen by English cabinetmaker company deVOL functions as a jewel box cooking space for an avid collector of quirky objects. “To display his objets, the owner needed plenty of open shelving, glass-fronted cupboards, and a dramatic backdrop,” according to deVOL. “This decision to go for dark colors in a small room is a brave one, but it worked so well and gave the room grandeur and a real sense of presence.”

Here’s a look:
