Jemma's Farmhouse Kitchen, Somerset
Jemma Masters, Somerset
DESIGN BRIEF, PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Nestled in the heart of Somerset, Jemma and her family cherish their contemporary new build farmhouse. However, the kitchen had always felt somewhat off to Jemma since moving in. Despite its generous dimensions (8m x 4m), it didn't quite fit the bill.
The initial layout had left Jemma feeling dissatisfied. The sink unit sat beneath a small window at one end, while the dining area occupied the farthest reaches of the room, complete with sliding doors.
A dividing breakfast bar only compounded the issue, creating a dark, cramped space that felt disjointed from the rest of the room. As the dining area was relegated to the far end, complete with inviting sliding doors that opened up to the beautiful Somerset landscape. On the surface, it seemed like a practical arrangement, but there was a catch.

Kitchen Redesign
Sometimes, admitting that a design isn't working is the first step toward creating something truly remarkable. Jemma took that courageous step using my advice, layout plans and images for her farmhouse kitchen.
My transformation will reverse the original design, creating a brighter, more inviting ambiance. Now, the top end of the kitchen houses a cosy dining area and a welcoming sofa and a new layout that will harness the available light and space at the opposite end of the kitchen, Jemma's delight is palpable.
Through carefully crafted plans and images, this kitchen is undergoing a rejuvenation—a work in progress. The aim? To bring harmony to their forever farmhouse. I can't wait to witness the remarkable transformation from bewildering to beautiful in real-time.

Jemma's review
"Annie is professional, with care and consideration for us as clients. She spent time to truly understand my predicament of our kitchen and created the perfect layout. Annie really took my space to the next level. I never dreamed my home could look and feel this good. I will definitely be using Annie’s design again for other parts of our home. She is fabulous and talented. I have recommended her to friends already."
