Sarah and Ian's Kitchen

Sarah & Ian’s kitchen sits within a family home in Edinburgh, where traditional detailing is balanced with contemporary practicality.

Fully plywood cabinetry provides strength and longevity, with hand-painted shaker fronts bringing softness and refinement to the space. The painted finish, applied by the master craftsmen at Bannerman Decorators, adds depth and subtle texture that only a brush-applied finish can achieve.

Modern appliances, worktops and lighting have been integrated carefully, ensuring the kitchen feels current while remaining rooted in its architectural context. A particularly charming feature is the Edinburgh press dookit, repurposed to house a well-used Kenwood Chef and favourite cookbooks — a small but meaningful detail that adds character and warmth.

A kitchen that bridges old and new with ease — practical, welcoming and thoughtfully resolved.
