The kitchen in the Manhattan townhouse was brand new, complete with sleek white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. But it just didn’t feel quite like home, which, for the owners, is mainly in London. Their solution: Commission Plain English to design a cozy kitchen that reflects their British roots. Take a look:
The kitchen is compact and anchors one end of a spacious open living area. Oversized windows welcome in an abundance of natural light.
Scandi leather and canvas chairs surround the dining table.
“Having loved and lived with an Aga for so long, it was impossible for them to be able to cook on any other range cooker,” says Merlin Wright, Plain English design director.
“The hardware is by Plain English, and it is our polished nickel finish. It adds a light, slightly industrial feel to the kitchen,” says Wright.
A warm gray from Little Greene Paint & Paper was selected for the cabinets.
The faucet is by Perrin & Rowe.
