Interior Design in Wilmslow
Around Hawthorn Lane, Wilmslow’s late nineteenth-century houses still show the care given to details such as bay windows and recessed entrances. Inside an older home, the features that give a room its character can also help decide how to arrange it. A kitchen should feel natural in that setting and work comfortably for the people who cook there.
Carter Manor and a kitchen for cooking and conversation
The owners of Carter Manor, a Grade II-listed home, wanted clearly defined places to cook and dine while keeping the two activities connected. Ingrid used a restrained white palette so the existing architecture could still be appreciated. An island with oak stools gives someone a place to sit and talk during preparation, while the dining table has a separate place of its own.
Starting with how you use the room
When redesigning a kitchen, Ingrid looks at what happens between the sink, preparation surfaces, hob and table, and how people pass through while someone is cooking.
That early work guides the cabinetry, lighting and material choices. It’s particularly valuable when a room has an established shape and windows you want to make the most of.
