| Decor Inspiration: An English Country Kitchen with Shaker Cabinetry |
This breathtaking minimally decorated country kitchen
in Nottingham has bespoke kitchen cabinetry by
deVOL and has so much to teach us about
country and farmhouse style with its effortless,
undecorated, and mostly unfitted design.
Let's tour this beautiful space and note
the ingredients for creating this look
in our own kitchens.
1.
(above)
Glorious natural light.
This kitchen makes a good case for
going to great lengths to capture
sunlight, whether that means
ditching the existing window treatment
or installing a skylight.

2.
High ceiling.
Not an easy element to add (ha!), and
the extent of restraint in here amazes me.
Can you imagine having so much vertical space
yet choosing to forego upper cabinets in favor of
lofty, airy, ethereal flavor.

3.
An oceanic palette of light grey, white, and sand.
This combination works so well, though I may be
a bit biased since I adopted it for our Arizona kitchen!
Think sky/sea, clouds, and shore...works dreamily.

4.
One long Shaker style shelf.
Isn't there something fresh and soothing
about this wide expanse for display even though
we have seen versions in country kitchens forever?
The choice of quiet toned accessories on the
shelf makes all the difference in sustaining

5.
Drawers Flanking Range.
Don't you adore the symmetry created
by these banks of drawers on either side
of the range with their brass bin pulls?

6.
A Wood Work Table.
The vintage style of this gorgeous
wood topped work table (in lieu of the
expected marble topped monster island)
brings a deep humility and authenticity to
this kitchen, and its white color contrasts
nicely with the grey and elevates its specialness.

7.
Timeless Simplicity.
This kitchen will still seem relevant in a
decade because of the design choices
and natural finishes, and in fact, may
well look even better with more age
and wear to the wood and brass.
What is your favorite element in this
beautiful English country kitchen?

Once again you nailed it with sharing such inspiring inspiration for design/decor! The color palette is superb and the clean simple finishes are a joy to view. I must admit that the first element that caught my attention was the print on the wall above the counters...hmmm as an aspiring photographer I was "captured" by this kitchen art and my wheels are turning. Thanks much Michele!
