This beautiful colorful cuisine was developed for a professional cook.

The home kitchen of a chef differs fundamentally from that in a typical family house. If you imitate the efficient designs of professional cuisine, everything should be available and easily accessible – something that violates the current trend for invisible kitchen designs – and cooking should be an optimized process.

At the same time, the kitchen still has to feel warm and inviting and sit harmoniously in the rest of the house and the landscape. The compensation of all of these elements was the challenge that the kitchen designer Nicholas Sykes, founder of Irving Sykes, was opposite, while the chef Renovated Crispin Chetwynd's kitchen.

It was the rolling Welsh landscape that proved to be the starting point for it Farmhouse kitchen design. “Crispin wanted the kitchen to pay homage to the beautiful surroundings of the house, especially since the back door on the garden and the hill be opened beyond.”

The first step to achieve this feeling of harmony was to take into account a ashes related from the region if possible. “There are ash trees in the garden that can be seen from the window and open door, so it was a natural fit.” Ash elements are installed in the entire room – from the worktops and open shelves to the record shelves and the unit that houses the refrigerator and work on tie the program together.

You can integrate ash elements into your own kitchen with smaller elements such as this hack box by John Lewis or Etsy.

“With the run of wooden worktops, we wanted it to be built from a single piece of ash,” says Nicholas. “So we had to adapt grains and knots to create a feeling of visual sequel – especially in the oven.”
