Ever since Margot profiled the Edinburgh apartment of Nina and Craig Plummer—designers and shopkeepers behind Ellei Home, then called Ingredients LDN—we’ve returned to its refined simplicity. In addition to their new studio space, in a 19th-century Renaissance-style building formerly used as a church hall, the duo photographs all of their offerings in their flat, and every detail is designed with this in mind. Let's take a look at the kitchen.
Elegant twin doors lead into the cook space.
Previously, a tiny kitchen and dark bath had occupied the space; now, with walls removed, there’s ample space for deVol’s Sebastian Cox kitchen.
In lieu of upper cabinets, a Shaker peg rail, sourced from a small-batch British maker on Etsy, stretches the length of the kitchen.
The countertops are honed Carrara marble, which will age with time.
On the opposite side of the kitchen, a not-too-precious antique French bread cupboard nestles up against the Smeg fridge.
