The brief

Mr and Mrs Krzeminski came to Hammonds looking for a kitchen to sit beautifully within their extension, making the most of the awkward angles and creating a social space for the family to use.

The Design

The couple were delighted that the Hammonds designer was able to work off the extension drawings and imagine the space with just plans to work off.

“Where other kitchen companies saw difficulties, the Hammonds designer saw great potential in the space”.

The couple loved the simplicity of the Croft range, having first seen the style within the Hammonds kitchen brochure, she then visited the showroom and admired the quality and painted finish of the shaker style collection, knowing for certain it was the range for them. The Hammonds designer not only listened to the couple’s own ideas and thoughts on how they wanted to use the space but then added his own recommendations based on his expertise.

The couple were eager for the kitchen design to flow through from the dining room area to the kitchen. A bar area with a corner mini breakfast bar surface transitioned this while wall units on the other side additionally carried the cabinetry through. Clever storage solutions such as magic corners and larder units made the most of the space for storage, giving pots, pans and glasses room. Appliances including the Caple wine cooler and fitted Neff ovens were selected and incorporated into the design.

“We really appreciated the support of the project manager, as plans changed with our extension; the design of the kitchen was altered without a problem.”

During the fitting, Mr and Mrs Krzeminski were impressed with how well the fitters worked with the builders as the extension transitioned into the kitchen fitting.
