Kitchen Extension Ideas
Katie Swanson • July 11, 2024
Layout to suit your lifestyle
Think about how you want to use your new space – perhaps you have a large extended family or lots of friends, who you need to accommodate for parties and dinners, or perhaps you have young children who like to play in the same room with you whilst you’re cooking, or teenagers who need their own space.
How you currently use your home will be the most important deciding factor for what you wish to achieve with your new extension, and at Honest by Design, getting to know you is the starting point for any kitchen or interior design.
Plan for the future – flexible space
Don’t forget to consider the future potential for your space, too. As your family grows and changes, as will the requirements for your home. Keep the future in mind and consider a flexible, multi functional room layout ideas – for example, when the children grow out of their play room, this can become a snug or cosy seating area.
It is important to think about the future with the kitchen design too – if you are worried about small children falling off the breakfast bar stools, don’t forget they won’t be small forever! Your kitchen designer can help ensure you future proof your home with a flexible and timeless kitchen design.
Accessible storage
Adding more space to your home with an extension provides the opportunity to add more storage, because you can never have enough! Plenty of storage helps to keep your home tidy, and it is important to consider purposeful storage for specific items – such as children’s toys, small kitchen appliances, shoes and coats, hoover and mop, etc. Each family will use their home in different ways, so it is important to think about your own particular needs when it comes to practical and easily accessible storage.
Incorporate a utility room
Often the most effective way to incorporate plenty of storage in your new extension is the addition of a utility room. Where possible, consider using a small portion of your new space (or re-purposing an existing room) to include a utility room – no matter how small, a utility room is a highly valuable addition to any kitchen.
This keeps noisy appliances out of the kitchen and takes pressure off the kitchen with additional storage and worktop space, maintaining a relaxing, sociable space in the kitchen. For more advice on utility rooms (and why you should definitely include one), see our previous blog post: ‘Utility Room Design Ideas’.
Improve relationship to garden
Adding an extension to your home provides the opportunity to open up your space to the garden – consider bi-folding doors for maximum effect, and plenty of windows to admire the view. The layout of your kitchen can also be impacted by the relationship to your garden, including the best location for your seating to enjoy the garden, as well as your colour scheme and décor.
Consider flow through the rest of the house
Another key consideration is how the rest of your house works with the new extension. Think about access and flow of traffic, making sure to keep walkways clear of bulky furniture, and keep in mind the relationship between each room. In an open plan space, think about the natural order of the room as you walk through from kitchen to dining to living (or vice versa), and design your interior logically depending on how you are likely to use each area within the space.
Zone your space with open plan living
For open plan kitchen-living-dining, it is often easier to design an oddly shaped room, as a big square extension can feel quite sparse and lack cosiness. In this instance, it is especially important to zone your areas so that each space feels separate whilst keeping the room open and sociable.
Top tips for zoning open plan spaces include using colour and light to create focal points; rugs to create separate sitting areas; pendant lights and wall lights for cosy lighting; and island/peninsula kitchen layouts to create a clear distinction between areas. For more advice on open plan spaces, see our blog post: ‘Make Your Kitchen the Heart of Your Home’.
Consider lighting – natural & artificial
When adding an extension to your home, it is advisable to introduce additional lighting, particularly natural lighting, to ensure the ‘middle section’ of your home doesn’t end up feeling dark and moody. Skylights are the most effective addition, as they bring in more daylight than standard windows, and glazed doors are a good option for floor to ceiling light.
Don’t forget about your artificial lighting though – you will need a variety of lighting for a flexible interior, including bright task lighting and cosy ambience from warmer lights. Consider pendants over the island for an attractive feature, and wall lights and lamps in your living/dining areas to create cosy nooks.
Budget – spend more money where it counts, buy well, buy once
If you are on a tight budget, it is essential to spend your money wisely. The big spends should be on the quality of your build, including the kitchen, flooring and installation. If you cut back on the important spends, it will cost you more in the long run, having to replace it in the not-too-distant future. Instead, cut costs on items that can more easily be replaced when you have more to spend, such as soft furnishings, additional freestanding furniture and luxury items. These can all be added at a later stage, or bought second hand as a temporary stand in.
You also have the option to stagger the build – perhaps starting with the most important interiors first, such as the kitchen, then later adding a utility, boot room, snug or play room. Smaller features such as tiled splashbacks, wallpaper, bespoke bench seating, sideboards, can also be added at later date. This is why it is crucial to start with the end in mind; even if you don’t plan to do it all at once, it gives you an end goal to aim for, making sure you buy well to only buy once.
Speak to a designer before finalising architect plans for input on interior options
Often our clients are not sure where to start with designing their extension or interior renovation, but we always advise to start with the end in mind; it is beneficial to speak to a kitchen or interior designer before finalising your kitchen architect plans, as a designer can help you make decisions on the architectural layout. We can suggest a more efficient use of space, as well as smaller details such as door and window positions, as these will impact the interior layout.
A designer will also offer advice and interior design tips on how to use the existing space more effectively; if you are unsure whether to go ahead with an extension, we can help you visualise your space and advise whether it is actually necessary to extend. So if you’re not sure where to start, get in touch for our Honest advice and design help!

Worktops ✨ wooden worktops add warmth and a homely feel to a traditional kitchen, but it’s not always the most practical choice! Wood needs sanding and oiling regularly to maintain it, and we would always recommend avoiding wood around the sink.
So why not mix and match? A stone top on the island keeps the kitchen practical and creates a stunning feature!

Moody Marine blue 🤩 we love this colour as an alternative for navy - the warmer subtle hints of teal give it extra depth and add a bit more interest than the traditional navy blue. We are so pleased our clients love it too! ✨

Where possible, we always include a sideboard in our kitchen designs. As the perfect place to put things down as you enter the room, sideboards help keep your kitchen island free of clutter and mess!
A sideboard also creates an attractive feature, with display space above for plants, accessories and pictures, to soften your interior and add that homely touch 🥰
Do you also need a dedicated space in your kitchen for the accumulating mountain of ‘stuff’?!

A large peninsular provides the perfect sociable kitchen space ✨ the stools are an ideal perch for coffee breaks and casual meals, whilst the deeper section of worktop creates space for food prep and the perfect place for sharing drinks and nibbles while entertaining guests 🤩

This ‘Deep Heather’ sideboard adds a lovely pop of colour to the kitchen! Purple might not be to everyone’s taste, but these clients fell in love with the colour and we encouraged them to go for it. In your home, it should be YOUR style - it doesn’t matter if it’s not fashionable or trendy, all that matters is that you LOVE it ❤️

A well designed utility room is a valuable addition to your new kitchen! We have designed some fabulous utility rooms as multifunctional spaces - often incorporating a boot room, laundry area, bench seating, messy sink, food prep area, and of course, always plenty of storage! No matter how small, a utility room is a brilliant asset to any new kitchen ✨

A little behind the scenes…
We spend a lot of time sketching and planning to explore all the possibilities for your new space - it’s so important to consider the flow of traffic through the house, and not just the kitchen. This is where it is important for us to know more about how you use the rest of your home.
If you often go out for muddy walks, and use your back door more than your front door, this will make a big impact on the design of your kitchen layout. Where guests enter the kitchen when entertaining is also important; this would be the best place to position sociable seating such as stools at the island, to encourage guests to sit down and not linger in doorways or get in the way of cooking.
We think about access to the back door from the washing machine to hang your washing on the line, we consider the position of your dishwasher for conveniently unpacking into the kitchen cupboards, and we even take into account any furry family members with integrated dog beds and cat flaps (swipe to see a very happy pooch in his new bed)!
All the little details are so important to us to make sure we design the perfect functional space for you and your family ✨

Unique and original items add interest and ensure your home is not the carbon copy of some Instagram ‘dream home’ – finding inspiration from social media, websites, blogs and magazines is brilliant, but don’t be afraid to mix and match, and only ever include things that you love. Ignore the latest trends; they go out of fashion so quickly and you will be left with an outdated and uninspiring interior. You will never grow bored of a design filled with things you LOVE!

Where do you stand in your kitchen?
Deciding whether to include a sink or hob on your island is a purely personal choice and depends on how you use your kitchen. Some clients find they spend a lot of time at the sink, whilst others stand at the hob or preparing food on the biggest area of worktop available in the kitchen.
If you are considering an island or peninsula in your kitchen, it is important to think about where you spend most time in the kitchen, but also the way you use it. For example, if your kitchen sink is often piled with dirty dishes, the island might not be the best place for it!
Would you choose to put your sink or hob on the island?

OK, so a galley kitchen might not be on the top of your list, but keep an open mind! To make the best use of a space, galley style kitchens can be a really efficient layout when designed well. A galley style in a smaller open plan kitchen for example can create a natural divide between kitchen and dining, and keep small children safely out of the cooking zone. Two parallel runs of cabinets can also create a convenient cooking area with plenty of worktop space and storage, whilst the simplicity of a galley style kitchen can make the space feel larger, and avoids awkward corners.

If you are looking for a timeless, classic style, consider a simple shaker kitchen - these versatile kitchens can be styled to suit a more modern taste or a traditional country kitchen. As always, choose something you LOVE, not the latest ‘trend’!

So many of our clients end up using the stools at their island more often than they expected! They are such a versatile and functional addition to any kitchen 🤩

Especially if you are short on space, curves can be a great way to include additional storage without reducing the ease of circulation around the kitchen. Curved cabinets can also provide an attractive feature in both traditional and contemporary designs. Limiting the pinch points and sharp edges can make a room feel larger and more open, without sacrificing large amounts of worktop space and storage, and they can work in a kitchen of any size or layout ✨

Create a cosy open plan kitchen with soft furnishings, calm tones and beautiful accessories ❤️
Rugs, pendant lights and accessories not only make your kitchen feel homely and look stunning, but they help define the zones within your space. Here, pendant lights create a feature to emphasise the central island and sociable seating, whilst a sofa divides the living area and creates a cosy nook, with a gorgeous rug as a central focus point.
Soft shades of blue and grey blend the spaces into an open and spacious kitchen diner, whilst clever techniques to zone each area keep it feeling warm and cosy 🥰

A lovely splash of sunshine ☀️
Grey kitchens don’t have to be boring - they provide the freedom to add your own personality to the space with touches of colour. A neutral backdrop means you can go big and bold with accessories! The best part is, you don’t have to commit to a single colour and can easily change the palette and scheme as often as you like ✨

We really enjoyed designing this unique home cinema for a change of scenery! There’s no job too big or too small for us, we just love designing our clients’ dream interiors - from kitchens and utility rooms, to cinemas and living rooms - and anything in between 😍

Utility rooms don’t have to be big to be beautiful 😍
Your utility room has to work harder than most rooms in the house, so it’s just as important as the kitchen when it comes to getting the design just right!
This particular utility room was originally a porch on the back of the house, a space that wasn’t fulfilling its potential. With stacked laundry appliances, a small sink, and additional storage, this new utility room creates the perfect functional space, taking a lot of pressure off the family kitchen diner.

Not sure where to start with your home renovations? Start with us! We can help advise you on the best options for your space, tailored to your needs - whether that’s a kitchen re-fit, an extension, or interior design.
Clients are often unsure whether to speak to us first, or finalise architect designs/building work before coming to us. We find that getting a designer involved at the very start of a project is a good way to start with the end in mind, and gives us a little more room to play with in our designs!
We can make sure you can achieve the perfect home by making suggestions that optimise the space, such as structural details and re-positioning doors and windows. We can help you make tricky decisions and use our experience and expertise to guide you along the way throughout the entire project ✨

For a timeless kitchen that will never go out of style, choose Aldana ✨
This simple shaker door is in keeping with a classic style, but with a slimmer frame for a sleek contemporary look. This makes it so versatile - Aldana can be styled as either traditional or modern to create beautifully timeless interiors.
Other features to prevent your kitchen looking dated include natural finishes and warm neutral tones, adding softness for a warm and cosy interior. Consider some freestanding furniture and add colour with soft furnishings and accessories.
Most importantly, ignore the latest ‘trends’ that will go out of fashion - choose only what you LOVE for your perfect kitchen, and it will never go out of style ✨

To extend or not to extend? 🤔
Extensions are a popular home renovation, with many of our clients dreaming of big open plan kitchens, but an extension is not always necessary to create your dream kitchen! We believe in helping our clients save money where possible, and extending is often not the most cost effective option…
For this Woolton Hill, Hampshire kitchen, an extension was the only way our clients had considered making their kitchen work, but they were put off by the cost. We looked at the existing kitchen and suggested that with a more efficient design, we could create the kitchen of their dreams - without the costly extension!
The existing back door split the kitchen in half, creating a corridor through the middle, and a dumping ground in the unusable half of the room. This made the working area of the kitchen small and cramped, so our clients felt the space was not big enough for their dream family kitchen. We suggested moving the back door, making the kitchen almost twice the size for a substantially lower cost than an extension, and creating a sociable family kitchen within their existing space.
If you are dreaming of a new kitchen and can’t decide whether to extend your home, get in touch for our advice - we will help you explore the options to decide whether an extension is really necessary to create your own dream kitchen 🤩

Loving this long drawn out summer! We have been a bit quiet on here so very sorry to anyone who has been looking for inspiration!
As a family-run business it can be really hard to juggle everything, and social media can end up at the bottom of the pile. Our daughter started school this week though so we are back to work and feeling fresh! I adore this time of year for feeling new, I think it’s the crisp mornings nature getting ready to shed all of the leaves and bits it no longer needs.
We are currently working on a dining room, snug and study for a lovely client… We look forward to bringing you progress pics. We then have three or four kitchens to fit by Christmas - depending how builders get on!
Greens, blues, greys and whites are still looking popular choices for our clients going forward, and we are even doing some bespoke colours with @kitchen_stori which is very exciting!
Although work-wise we are into the “I need it finished by Christmas” countdown, I will be here working surrounded by my beautiful @weaver.green textiles for as long as the weather allows!
Happy Friday - have a wonderful weekend! ☀️

This space used to be part hallway, part dumping ground, part corridor. We worked with our clients to transform it into a beautiful snug off their new kitchen, that they now love and use daily!

Sometimes it’s the small spaces that require design input more than the big ones. As part of this Hampshire kitchen renovation we managed to create a functional utility room and cloakroom from this old wasted hallway. Bonus being it’s so easy to get the washing out onto the line from here!
In the UK most of us are not blessed with giant homes. Instead, we have to be wise and creative about how we use the space we have. If you don’t know where to start give us a call - we would love to hear from you! 📞

When we first met this couple who live on the Hampshire / Berkshire border they were pulling in opposite directions on whether to go for modern handless or shaker. We designed it in both options to give them a really good idea how each would look, and show the advantages and disadvantages of each. The principal cooks preference for handleless won!

Loved re-visiting this Berkshire kitchen we installed in 2018 this week. It still looks fabulous - and the clients are so pleased with it. Looking forward to working with them again on interior design for the family room & study 😄

Parisian blue was a bold colour choice for this Newbury galley kitchen, but we think it looks stunning! Always choose something YOU love, not just the latest fashion trend 💕

Consider a U shaped kitchen design for maximum worktop space and storage. Even if an island can fit in your kitchen, sometimes a peninsula is a more efficient use of the space and can look just as impressive ✨

With more and more clients now avoiding grey, ‘Mussell’ is a new favourite! A warm neutral that looks different in every light, Mussell keeps your new kitchen feeling light and spacious, without feeling cold and grey on those cloudy days ⛅️

In this Berkshire shaker kitchen, our clients insisted on keeping their navy blue aga whilst changing to a green colour scheme for their new kitchen. We were happy to save the old aga, suggesting a subtle shade of green with added touches of blue to complement the new kitchen, including a decorative sideboard for display. These design elements make the blue aga a striking pop of colour that ties in with the rest of the timeless classic kitchen design ✨

Bench seating is the most efficient way to create the perfect cosy kitchen seating. Providing additional storage whilst using up very little floor space, bench seating is practical, comfortable, and looks fantastic!

Simple but practical, with a beautiful Belfast sink overlooking the garden 🪴 #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife
We love to embrace an awkward window 🪟 by adding a bespoke window seat. Feedback from our clients on these is that they adore sitting on them in the kitchen - with a cuppa or something stronger! Especially here, looking at this Hampshire garden 🪴

Nothing makes us happier than happy clients 🥰 Knowing that the spaces we have designed are enjoyed is the best feedback.
This Hampshire kitchen was dark and small before the wall was removed, and the space was opened up to accommodate this stunning light grey shaker kitchen. The accents of purple work so well to inject colour and personality, but are subtle enough for the look to be classic and timeless.
#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #purplekitchen #greyshakerkitchen #mirrortile #hampshirekitchens #highcleremums
Stunning splashback. We always encourage our clients to add elements reflecting their taste and personality into their kitchens. Some are bolder than others - the brave use of pattern definitely pays off in this Wiltshire shaker kitchen!

Gorgeous green 💚
We adore green kitchens, because they visually bring the outdoors in by creating a link to the garden. This beautiful shaker kitchen in Hampshire features details such as beading to give it the more traditional look and feel our clients wanted.

Colour pop 💛
Grey doesn’t have to be boring! The wonderful thing about greys is that you can put literally any colour with them as a pop of colour. We love the gorgeous yellow in this timeless Newbury shaker kitchen.

Don’t forget your outdoor spaces!
If you are lucky enough to have doors from a room out to the garden, always treat that garden space as an extension of the interior with furniture, and furnishings. This can be especially important for smaller houses, and in the summer months allows you to massively increase your living space! Lovely for long summer days at home.
#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #hampshiregardens #smallgardenspace #gardensofa
Let’s talk about sideboards.
We always try and create a space for “stuff”, no matter how small the kitchen is. Otherwise we find items like handbags, post and keys get dumped on islands and in working parts of the kitchen - which is annoying, and messy.
In this Oxfordshire kitchen we used kitchen cabinets in a green as a feature colour, with curved end cabinets for softness.

Happy #eurovision weekend!
This Hampshire client wanted a modern music room to sit and enjoy listening to records.
Like the snug we also posted this week it’s another great spot for a drink 🥃 with plenty of storage to keep it tidy too 🙌🏼

In open plan spaces, a cohesive design is especially important for a space that flows as one, whilst still functioning as multiple separate areas - such as kitchen, dining area, and snug.
A great way to improve the relationship between each separate zone is incorporating the same cabinets from your kitchen into your living spaces - including, but not limited to - bench seating, TV stands, sideboards, bookcases, dressers and other decorative display furniture.
In larger open plan spaces, this additional furniture can introduce a contrasting or feature colour to create a more distinct separation between kitchen and living areas, whilst accessorising these zones with more colour or complimentary tones ✨

A touch of purple. 💜
No offence to all of our blue kitchen clients (your kitchens are all fabulous) - but it was fun to do something different!
We have one rule and one rule only when it comes to choosing colour. It must be something YOU love. Not what your friend has and definitely not the “latest colour trend” 🙄 We want you to love your interior space forever - not just for a few years until the next “must have” comes along. Better for your pocket💰and better for our planet 🌎

Your interior: modern or traditional?
One of the first stumbling blocks our clients face is whether to go down a modern or traditional route with their new space. Here are some things to consider before you choose!

Let there be light ✨
Cottages and low ceilings don’t have to mean dark poky interiors. The light grey shaker cabinets work with the clever lighting and white worktops to create lots of light in this Hampshire home.

✨ Samples ✨
Choosing colours and materials is an important stage in designing your interior, so take your time with these decisions. Don’t forget to test your samples in the actual space, with various lighting and at different times of the day - you may be surprised to discover how different your samples can look in certain lighting and environments!

Modern or traditional - how do you choose which style to go for in your interior? As well as your personal taste, there are so many factors to consider when choosing the style of your kitchen or interior.
One example is architecture - does the age or style of your home impact the design of your interior? Consider features such as beams, fireplaces and mouldings, as well as natural lighting.
Lifestyle is also an important consideration - small children and pets may require a sleeker, modern look for easy cleaning. Or perhaps you have lots of decorative items and accessories on display, so would prefer a traditional style for a more homely feel.
Most importantly, a designer can help you prioritise all the important factors for your interior, offer honest advice, and suggest solutions you may not have considered!

We always encourage our clients to ignore fashion trends and go for what they LOVE, so their interiors never go out of style.
Find inspiration from existing furniture and other items in your home that you already love - this can be the perfect inspiration for your new interior and we are always happy to incorporate existing items into our designs.
For this client, we were tasked with incorporating their existing big yellow sofa into an open plan kitchen. We do love a challenge!
We used blues and dark greys in the living area of the kitchen to complement the yellow sofa and really make it pop as a key feature of the space. We added some yellow cushions to subtly tie it in to the bespoke bench seating for a cohesive design and homely interior.
What favourite piece of furniture would inspire the design of your interior?

Worktops ✨ wooden worktops add warmth and a homely feel to a traditional kitchen, but it’s not always the most practical choice! Wood needs sanding and oiling regularly to maintain it, and we would always recommend avoiding wood around the sink.
So why not mix and match? A stone top on the island keeps the kitchen practical and creates a stunning feature!

Where possible, we always include a sideboard in our kitchen designs. As the perfect place to put things down as you enter the room, sideboards help keep your kitchen island free of clutter and mess!
A sideboard also creates an attractive feature, with display space above for plants, accessories and pictures, to soften your interior and add that homely touch 🥰

A well designed utility room is a valuable addition to your new kitchen!

A little behind the scenes…
We spend a lot of time sketching and planning to explore all the possibilities for your new space - it’s so important to consider the flow of traffic through the house, and not just the kitchen. This is where it is important for us to know more about how you use the rest of your home.
If you often go out for muddy walks, and use your back door more than your front door, this will make a big impact on the design of your kitchen layout. Where guests enter the kitchen when entertaining is also important; this would be the best place to position sociable seating such as stools at the island, to encourage guests to sit down and not linger in doorways or get in the way of cooking.
We think about access to the back door from the washing machine to hang your washing on the line, we consider the position of your dishwasher for conveniently unpacking into the kitchen cupboards, and we even take into account any furry family members with integrated dog beds and cat flaps (swipe to see a very happy pooch in his new bed)!
All the little details are so important to us to make sure we design the perfect functional space for you and your family ✨

Unique and original items add interest and ensure your home is not the carbon copy of some Instagram ‘dream home’ – finding inspiration from social media, websites, blogs and magazines is brilliant, but don’t be afraid to mix and match, and only ever include things that you love. Ignore the latest trends; they go out of fashion so quickly and you will be left with an outdated and uninspiring interior. You will never grow bored of a design filled with things you LOVE!

We are loving this beautiful colour scheme - Cardamom & Mussel 😍 warm neutrals are perfect for a cosy, timeless kitchen design!

Where do you stand in your kitchen?
Deciding whether to include a sink or hob on your island is a purely personal choice and depends on how you use your kitchen. Some clients find they spend a lot of time at the sink, whilst others stand at the hob or preparing food on the biggest area of worktop available in the kitchen.
If you are considering an island or peninsula in your kitchen, it is important to think about where you spend most time in the kitchen, but also the way you use it. For example, if your kitchen sink is often piled with dirty dishes, the island might not be the best place for it!
Would you choose to put your sink or hob on the island?

OK, so a galley kitchen might not be on the top of your list, but keep an open mind! To make the best use of a space, galley style kitchens can be a really efficient layout when designed well. A galley style in a smaller open plan kitchen for example can create a natural divide between kitchen and dining, and keep small children safely out of the cooking zone. Two parallel runs of cabinets can also create a convenient cooking area with plenty of worktop space and storage, whilst the simplicity of a galley style kitchen can make the space feel larger, and avoids awkward corners.

If you are looking for a timeless, classic style, consider a simple shaker kitchen - these versatile kitchens can be styled to suit a more modern taste or a traditional country kitchen. As always, choose something you LOVE, not the latest ‘trend’!

So many of our clients end up using the stools at their island more often than they expected! They are such a versatile and functional addition to any kitchen 🤩

Especially if you are short on space, curves can be a great way to include additional storage without reducing the ease of circulation around the kitchen. Curved cabinets can also provide an attractive feature in both traditional and contemporary designs. Limiting the pinch points and sharp edges can make a room feel larger and more open, without sacrificing large amounts of worktop space and storage, and they can work in a kitchen of any size or layout ✨

Create a cosy open plan kitchen with soft furnishings, calm tones and beautiful accessories ❤️
Rugs, pendant lights and accessories not only make your kitchen feel homely and look stunning, but they help define the zones within your space. Here, pendant lights create a feature to emphasise the central island and sociable seating, whilst a sofa divides the living area and creates a cosy nook, with a gorgeous rug as a central focus point.
Soft shades of blue and grey blend the spaces into an open and spacious kitchen diner, whilst clever techniques to zone each area keep it feeling warm and cosy 🥰

A lovely splash of sunshine ☀️
Grey kitchens don’t have to be boring - they provide the freedom to add your own personality to the space with touches of colour. A neutral backdrop means you can go big and bold with accessories! The best part is, you don’t have to commit to a single colour and can easily change the palette and scheme as often as you like ✨

We really enjoyed designing this unique home cinema for a change of scenery! There’s no job too big or too small for us, we just love designing our clients’ dream interiors - from kitchens and utility rooms, to cinemas and living rooms - and anything in between 😍

Utility rooms don’t have to be big to be beautiful 😍
Your utility room has to work harder than most rooms in the house, so it’s just as important as the kitchen when it comes to getting the design just right!
This particular utility room was originally a porch on the back of the house, a space that wasn’t fulfilling its potential. With stacked laundry appliances, a small sink, and additional storage, this new utility room creates the perfect functional space, taking a lot of pressure off the family kitchen diner.

Not sure where to start with your home renovations? Start with us! We can help advise you on the best options for your space, tailored to your needs - whether that’s a kitchen re-fit, an extension, or interior design.
Clients are often unsure whether to speak to us first, or finalise architect designs/building work before coming to us. We find that getting a designer involved at the very start of a project is a good way to start with the end in mind, and gives us a little more room to play with in our designs!
We can make sure you can achieve the perfect home by making suggestions that optimise the space, such as structural details and re-positioning doors and windows. We can help you make tricky decisions and use our experience and expertise to guide you along the way throughout the entire project ✨

For a timeless kitchen that will never go out of style, choose Aldana ✨
This simple shaker door is in keeping with a classic style, but with a slimmer frame for a sleek contemporary look. This makes it so versatile - Aldana can be styled as either traditional or modern to create beautifully timeless interiors.
Other features to prevent your kitchen looking dated include natural finishes and warm neutral tones, adding softness for a warm and cosy interior. Consider some freestanding furniture and add colour with soft furnishings and accessories.
Most importantly, ignore the latest ‘trends’ that will go out of fashion - choose only what you LOVE for your perfect kitchen, and it will never go out of style ✨

To extend or not to extend? 🤔
Extensions are a popular home renovation, with many of our clients dreaming of big open plan kitchens, but an extension is not always necessary to create your dream kitchen! We believe in helping our clients save money where possible, and extending is often not the most cost effective option…
For this Woolton Hill, Hampshire kitchen, an extension was the only way our clients had considered making their kitchen work, but they were put off by the cost. We looked at the existing kitchen and suggested that with a more efficient design, we could create the kitchen of their dreams - without the costly extension!
The existing back door split the kitchen in half, creating a corridor through the middle, and a dumping ground in the unusable half of the room. This made the working area of the kitchen small and cramped, so our clients felt the space was not big enough for their dream family kitchen. We suggested moving the back door, making the kitchen almost twice the size for a substantially lower cost than an extension, and creating a sociable family kitchen within their existing space.
If you are dreaming of a new kitchen and can’t decide whether to extend your home, get in touch for our advice - we will help you explore the options to decide whether an extension is really necessary to create your own dream kitchen 🤩

Loving this long drawn out summer! We have been a bit quiet on here so very sorry to anyone who has been looking for inspiration!
As a family-run business it can be really hard to juggle everything, and social media can end up at the bottom of the pile. Our daughter started school this week though so we are back to work and feeling fresh! I adore this time of year for feeling new, I think it’s the crisp mornings nature getting ready to shed all of the leaves and bits it no longer needs.
We are currently working on a dining room, snug and study for a lovely client… We look forward to bringing you progress pics. We then have three or four kitchens to fit by Christmas - depending how builders get on!
Greens, blues, greys and whites are still looking popular choices for our clients going forward, and we are even doing some bespoke colours with @kitchen_stori which is very exciting!
Although work-wise we are into the “I need it finished by Christmas” countdown, I will be here working surrounded by my beautiful @weaver.green textiles for as long as the weather allows!
Happy Friday - have a wonderful weekend! ☀️
Nikita ~ Honest by Design Founder
This space used to be part hallway, part dumping ground, part corridor. We worked with our clients to transform it into a beautiful snug off their new kitchen, that they now love and use daily!

Sometimes it’s the small spaces that require design input more than the big ones. As part of this Hampshire kitchen renovation we managed to create a functional utility room and cloakroom from this old wasted hallway. Bonus being it’s so easy to get the washing out onto the line from here!
In the UK most of us are not blessed with giant homes. Instead, we have to be wise and creative about how we use the space we have. If you don’t know where to start give us a call - we would love to hear from you! 📞

When we first met this couple who live on the Hampshire / Berkshire border they were pulling in opposite directions on whether to go for modern handless or shaker. We designed it in both options to give them a really good idea how each would look, and show the advantages and disadvantages of each. The principal cooks preference for handleless won!

Loved re-visiting this Berkshire kitchen we installed in 2018 this week. It still looks fabulous - and the clients are so pleased with it. Looking forward to working with them again on interior design for the family room & study 😄

Consider a U shaped kitchen design for maximum worktop space and storage. Even if an island can fit in your kitchen, sometimes a peninsula is a more efficient use of the space and can look just as impressive ✨

In this Berkshire shaker kitchen, our clients insisted on keeping their navy blue aga whilst changing to a green colour scheme for their new kitchen. We were happy to save the old aga, suggesting a subtle shade of green with added touches of blue to complement the new kitchen, including a decorative sideboard for display. These design elements make the blue aga a striking pop of colour that ties in with the rest of the timeless classic kitchen design ✨

Bench seating is the most efficient way to create the perfect cosy kitchen seating. Providing additional storage whilst using up very little floor space, bench seating is practical, comfortable, and looks fantastic!

Simple but practical, with a beautiful Belfast sink overlooking the garden 🪴 #honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife
We love to embrace an awkward window 🪟 by adding a bespoke window seat. Feedback from our clients on these is that they adore sitting on them in the kitchen - with a cuppa or something stronger! Especially here, looking at this Hampshire garden 🪴

Nothing makes us happier than happy clients 🥰 Knowing that the spaces we have designed are enjoyed is the best feedback.
This Hampshire kitchen was dark and small before the wall was removed, and the space was opened up to accommodate this stunning light grey shaker kitchen. The accents of purple work so well to inject colour and personality, but are subtle enough for the look to be classic and timeless.

Stunning splashback. We always encourage our clients to add elements reflecting their taste and personality into their kitchens. Some are bolder than others - the brave use of pattern definitely pays off in this Wiltshire shaker kitchen!

Gorgeous green 💚
We adore green kitchens, because they visually bring the outdoors in by creating a link to the garden. This beautiful shaker kitchen in Hampshire features details such as beading to give it the more traditional look and feel our clients wanted.

Grey doesn’t have to be boring! The wonderful thing about greys is that you can put literally any colour with them as a pop of colour. We love the gorgeous yellow in this timeless Newbury shaker kitchen.

Don’t forget your outdoor spaces!
If you are lucky enough to have doors from a room out to the garden, always treat that garden space as an extension of the interior with furniture, and furnishings. This can be especially important for smaller houses, and in the summer months allows you to massively increase your living space! Lovely for long summer days at home.
#honestlydesignedwithlifeinmind #interiorskitchenslife #hampshiregardens #smallgardenspace #gardensofa
Let’s talk about sideboards.
We always try and create a space for “stuff”, no matter how small the kitchen is. Otherwise we find items like handbags, post and keys get dumped on islands and in working parts of the kitchen - which is annoying, and messy.
In this Oxfordshire kitchen we used kitchen cabinets in a green as a feature colour, with curved end cabinets for softness.

Happy #eurovision weekend!
This Hampshire client wanted a modern music room to sit and enjoy listening to records.
Like the snug we also posted this week it’s another great spot for a drink 🥃 with plenty of storage to keep it tidy too 🙌🏼

In open plan spaces, a cohesive design is especially important for a space that flows as one, whilst still functioning as multiple separate areas - such as kitchen, dining area, and snug.
A great way to improve the relationship between each separate zone is incorporating the same cabinets from your kitchen into your living spaces - including, but not limited to - bench seating, TV stands, sideboards, bookcases, dressers and other decorative display furniture.
In larger open plan spaces, this additional furniture can introduce a contrasting or feature colour to create a more distinct separation between kitchen and living areas, whilst accessorising these zones with more colour or complimentary tones ✨

A touch of purple. 💜
No offence to all of our blue kitchen clients (your kitchens are all fabulous) - but it was fun to do something different!
We have one rule and one rule only when it comes to choosing colour. It must be something YOU love. Not what your friend has and definitely not the “latest colour trend” 🙄 We want you to love your interior space forever - not just for a few years until the next “must have” comes along. Better for your pocket💰and better for our planet 🌎

✨ Samples ✨
Choosing colours and materials is an important stage in designing your interior, so take your time with these decisions. Don’t forget to test your samples in the actual space, with various lighting and at different times of the day - you may be surprised to discover how different your samples can look in certain lighting and environments!

Modern or traditional - how do you choose which style to go for in your interior? As well as your personal taste, there are so many factors to consider when choosing the style of your kitchen or interior.
One example is architecture - does the age or style of your home impact the design of your interior? Consider features such as beams, fireplaces and mouldings, as well as natural lighting.
Lifestyle is also an important consideration - small children and pets may require a sleeker, modern look for easy cleaning. Or perhaps you have lots of decorative items and accessories on display, so would prefer a traditional style for a more homely feel.
Most importantly, a designer can help you prioritise all the important factors for your interior, offer honest advice, and suggest solutions you may not have considered!

We always encourage our clients to ignore fashion trends and go for what they LOVE, so their interiors never go out of style.
Find inspiration from existing furniture and other items in your home that you already love - this can be the perfect inspiration for your new interior and we are always happy to incorporate existing items into our designs.
For this client, we were tasked with incorporating their existing big yellow sofa into an open plan kitchen. We do love a challenge!
We used blues and dark greys in the living area of the kitchen to complement the yellow sofa and really make it pop as a key feature of the space. We added some yellow cushions to subtly tie it in to the bespoke bench seating for a cohesive design and homely interior.

All the funny angles made this converted barn kitchen refurb a challenge - but the finished result is just right. 📐

What a surprise this beautiful island is in this oak kitchen. Arts & Crafts influenced, these clients still love their space years on - which is our favourite thing to hear! Never ever choose a colour because it’s fashionable. Choose only what you love - you won’t regret it! 💚

Grey doesn’t have to be boring! Although we are seeing more clients requesting “not grey” at the moment, we still adore it’s versatility - the main benefit being that you can put ANY colour with it. Or not - it’s completely up to you 🖤

It doesn’t have to be big to be beautiful. But it does have to be well designed. We will help you make the most out of your space - whatever the size and budget.
