classic english kitchen gone rogue.

by victoria comment

sigh. in this kitchen i’d happily cook the whole darn all day. another brilliant beauty from devol, meet the Islington Townhouse Kitchen with its Classic English cupboards and ornate crown molding, they’ve gone and went a bit rogue with modern, dark moody walls all painted in their opulent Flint shade, and how about a hot pink loveseat for a touch of flair? yes, why not! add luxurious Carrara marble worktops, brass hardware and the most wonderful collection of vintage pieces and treasures sourced from all over the world — for instance, i love the old farm table paired with the unexpected pink sofa — and it all comes together with sophistication but comfort.

Some people have taste and get the choices spot on, some people are a little more mainstream in their choices and then some people just have that magic touch which makes a space feel so much more than just another new room with awesome lights and cupboards — this is that room! the Islington Kitchen is full of things that set it apart from the crowd, it’s a feeling when you walk in the room, things to delight and inspire you wherever you look. It’s clever, to get function, style, atmosphere, quality and a completely uncontrived look into one space. Collecting beautiful things is an art, it is something that takes time and dedication, it involves travel and curation, but when you finally get to a point where your home is full of these treasures you can reap the rewards. Colors and textures, different materials, different continents, all go towards making an eclectic and truly inspiring home. Knowing that each piece of your home’s interior has a history and a story seems somehow to give it more soul and this is what you see in devol’s stunning Islington Kitchen.
