Mr & Mrs Hughes, Banchory
Location: Banchory
Designer: Nicola Swanson
My design brief to Nicola was that I wanted something that would mean low maintenance and be bright for what is a dark room. I wanted it to look good of course, but as I enjoy cooking, I needed it to be very practical, with lots of worktop space and easy access cupboards.
I also did not want a gap between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling. I also wanted a dining table but wanted it to be a part of my kitchen. I thought this was a " big ask" as I also wanted it to look like a piece of furniture that would connect the living room to the kitchen with a flow.
Nicola drew up a plan for my kitchen that was exactly as I imagined it to be. I was delighted and after one year of my new kitchen, I can honestly say that I love it as much as I did in the beginning.
