Sherwood Painted Shaker Kitchen by Daval, from Raycross Interiors Leading British furniture designer and maker, Daval celebrate one of its appointed UK design studios, Raycross Interiors, as it designs this skylit shaker-style open plan kitchen diner for a countryside home in West Byfleet, Surrey: Mr & Mrs N, West Byfleet Kitchen Epitomising country-chic styling, this classic furniture project depicts the authentic Sherwood Kitchen Furniture Collection by Daval. Recommended by Raycross Interiors, Sherwood is a sophisticated and timeless furniture collection that embraces all of the idiosyncrasies, knots, cross fires and beautiful grain of natural wood. Designed with classic shaker style doors, Sherwood by Daval is seen here hand painted in Cashmere, with each door featuring an inside chamfer detail that not only defines the shape, but also accentuates the painted timber by capturing varying light and shade. Similarly, the painted cashmere when paired against the 30mm Blanco Maple Quartz work surfaces impresses a crisp, neutral aesthetic throughout the kitchen which is softened by the timber effect porcelain floor tiles. This neutral flooring was not reserved for only the kitchen, as it actually spans the open plan kitchen diner as well as the hallway, cloakroom and living areas for a truly holistic look and feel. The kitchen was designed to create a highly ergonomic open-plan kitchen diner that is both functional and, also maximises the scenic views of the beautifully manicured gardens. 84
