House 5 – Kirsty & Jesse

Winners of Kitchen Week

Evoking the charm and character of the Hamptons style, Kirsty and Jesse’s spectacular kitchen is the jewel of their home. Celebrating a rich yet sophisticated palette of ink blue, brass, and marble, this room will transport you to the iconic luxury Country to coast destinations it has been inspired by.

Montauk Ink cabinetry features throughout the kitchen and pantry. Its inky blue hue paired with its 40mm shaker-profile detailing allows the Brass Patina Mesh door panels to stand out with its raw beauty. The Brass Patina is an incredible new addition to the Kinsman range. Made from uncoated genuine brass mesh, which will age and oxidise over time, this door treatment is an extraordinary design component within the room.

Intricate detailing is found throughout the kitchen which is very much in keeping with a quintessential Hamptons style. Caesarstone® Aterra Blanca has been used across the countertops, its elegant misty white surface and delicate earthy veins a perfect fit with the palette. The bespoke Brass Inlay placed within the island bench matches new matte brass Barrington Knobs with backing plate and Cup Pull handles. Federation Capping and Decorative Pilaster Blocks in Montauk Ink Matt complete the look.

The family-focused kitchen abounds with storage, courtesy of smart accessories, to ensure that there is room for everything. Cutlery Trays, Cross Wire Rails for Pot Drawers, Non-slip Drawer Matts, Internal Drawers, Stainless Steel Internal Drawer with Acrylic Base and Ninka Bins make organisation a breeze. A butler’s kitchen flows seamlessly from the main kitchen, housing more Bosch appliances, an extra sink and tap and dishwasher and a plethora of storage and prep space.

“We wanted our kitchen to be an absolute standout, to be the heart and soul of the house, says Kirsty. We wanted it to feel homely and the kind of space you can imagine lots of great family and friend dinners being created. Having such a large home, we wanted to make sure the kitchen also represented its grandeur.”

Guest Bedroom Two

Kirsty and Jesse prove that a window’s placement is a positive rather than a negative when designing a wardrobe for a secondary bedroom. The pair opted to use the window in their Second Guest Bedroom as the centrepiece to plan their U-shaped robe around.

The white of the Shaker-profile Montauk exterior doors contrast with the greenery outside the window. At the same time, Satin Brass Rounded Bar handles add the finishing touch to creating the Hamptons style found throughout their home. Premium LED Verti-Strip lighting adds to the luxury of the robe while still being highly functional, and by adding the drawers below the window, a bench seat has been formed.

The Natural Oak Matt interior finishes are accentuated with Black Light Bars, and the inclusion of our new Makeup Mirror in Anthracite is the perfect addition to ensure getting ready in this robe each day is a joy.

“Making sure that the design of our wardrobe fitted our Hamptons, Coastal vibe will being practical for a large family home was very important to us, explains Kirsty. “We used have used a palette of white, oak and brass throughout to create it.
