A Shaker galley kitchen in a converted schoolhouse

This long galley kitchen was designed for clients that wanted a space that reflected the beauty of their converted schoolhouse in Buckinghamshire. The original kitchen in the property was small and dark so we removed the original low ceiling to expose the beamed vaulted ceiling above. This visually increased the aspect, making it feel twice the size and gave the room a stunning traditional look.

We designed and made all furniture which was hand-painted in Farrow & Ball colours. We included a long run of framed hand-painted tall cabinets with stopped chamfer detailing on the doors in which a bank of Siemens ovens is housed with a warming drawer.

To complement the black-painted beams, all the worksurfaces are featured in gloss black granite with a cut out for a double undermount sink.

At the far end of the kitchen is an integrated dresser with decorative shelving and a deep red glass splashback. On the other side of the kitchen a solid oak breakfast bar was added, with seating beneath that looks out to the garden. In keeping with shaker styling, Cotswold ball knobs were used for the cupboards while drawer pull cup handles were used for the drawers.

Testimonials

PRAISE FROM OUR CLIENTS

“I wanted to say thank you and provide some feedback…

I am sat, in which appears to now be my usual seat in the breakfast room, smiling. Of course, my position has been chosen so that I have a prime view of everything, especially the exquisite kitchen, which exudes the craftsmanship and professionalism of your team. This extends to everything and everyone involved in the build and installation.

From the design, to the cabinet makers, to the project management and everyone who has worked on site, Dave the builder, Kevin, Rob, Dave and Russell, to name but a few, it’s been an absolute joy! Every member of the team has treated our home as if it is their own, with the utmost respect and care. All decisions have been offered with consideration and professional advice, allowing us to make the right informed judgment for our needs.

It’s only been a week and I love it all, and I keep loving it a little bit more every single day! Both the cloakroom and the kitchen have made our home even more beautiful.

Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved.”

Bierton, Bucks.

“Simon Taylor Furniture designed and installed a beautiful farmhouse kitchen in our home in Buckinghamshire in 2012 so we wanted to give them the opportunity to help us with the joinery and cabinetry for our new-build in Bath. As always, their designers were full of great ideas for form, function and finishes. And the cost was substantially better than more local firms. We chose their proposal without hesitation and the results are outstanding – a real talking point for every visitor we have. After-sales support (of which we have needed very little) has been outstanding. We have recommended them to friends, who have been similarly delighted, and we will definitely be asking them to help us in the future.”
