Adding modern luxury to a beautiful period home
This project by Woodhouse and Law designed a modern and chic family kitchen for a young family’s country home. Working alongside architects Nash Partnership and contractors GEM Solutions to renovate this beautiful family home, the clients were looking to modernise the period property and make it work better for their lifestyle.
Wanting to maintain the character and properties unique quality, the Woodhouse and Law team, alongside stylish Claire Davis, got to work creating a stunning interior style that ticked all the right boxes!
With commissioned bespoke pieces created to match the scale and grandeur of the property’s architecture, custom dressing rooms and exquisite hallways and rooms were created to ensure a warm and inviting feeling.
THE HARDWARE
Choosing rich, warm plum tones in the kitchen, combined with natural wash oak cabinetry, our Barrel hand hammered cabinet pulls and cabinet knobs were chosen. Matching the aesthetic perfectly, the hammered Burnished Brass finish compliments the decadent colours and natural materials used in this stunning space.
Using brass for your hardware elevates the look and feel of any interior, whether you’re designing for a period property or more modern scheme, the touch of warmth and natural feel of the material will always win in any project.
With its fantastic durability and natural antimicrobial qualities, our brass handles work perfectly for any kitchen space, where busy hands are working. Not only this, but they make for a sustainable choice of hardware, being easily polished or repaired. Our brass handles are made to last a lifetime, not just a season trend.
As the handles are used, they will patina over time, creating a beautiful unique finish, adding character and depth. Each handle creates a story of your kitchen environment, leaving behind not only a stunning visual but memory as well. Of course, you can choose many other lacquered finish options that don’t achieve this same style and will remain the original look throughout with appropriate care and cleaning.
