The original Kitchen was stripped out and replaced with shaker style cabinetry , ironmongery to compliment and calacatta quartz style worktops . Originally laid out in a traditional U-shape , the space has been maximised with the addition of a breakfast bar and four high stools from Hill House ’ s own collection . The matt black , architectural hurricane style , pendants have an opulent appeal that take centre stage over the island unit and provide wonderful ambient lighting come the evening .
Jenny explains ; “ We ’ re known for our attention to detail ; from the delicate studding on the backs of the chairs to the contrasting tape on the venetian blinds – it all comes together to elevate the space .”
After much reflection , Fran confirms the dining room is her favourite space in the house .
“ It ’ s probably where I ’ ve spent the most time since moving in last September . The ‘ Eat , Drink , Laugh ’ LED wall art sums this room up perfectly , as does the Michael Moebius print of the Queen – I love entertaining , and knew this had to be a social space where my guests can relax and have fun .”
Hill House are well known for their bespoke cabinetry , and those built into the dining room do not disappoint . In a dark oak finish , with gilded art deco detailing , the full height unit hosts a champagne fridge and drinks store , along with plenty of hidden storage for glass and tableware . The large oval table provides a centrepiece for the room , enhanced by the overhead bronze framed chandelier with tubular glass inserts and the plush velvet wing-backed dining chairs in a soft blush tone adding just a subtle hint of colour .
