Explore Rylan Clark’s new modern classic kitchen space
Presenter and broadcaster Rylan Clark recently had a stunning kitchen renovation in his central London home.
The kitchen was from Howdens and is the perfect combination of modern and classic styles.
Rylan chose the Clerkenwell metallic bronze cabinets, bespoke sileston quartz in Versailles ivory, smoked glass doors in select cabinetry.
There is also a Lamona black compact oven, Lamona induction hob with extractor and a Easton brass effect kitchen sink with Pronteau Kynance brushed brass instant hot water tap.
This was all installed by Dom Edington Carpentry.
A dream kitchen
Rylan told us of his newly completed kitchen in a film for Howdens; “I had been looking for a place in central London for a fair while, I’ve finally found it and I’ve got my dream kitchen.
“I wanted the kitchen to look like my favourite hotel suite, so I’ve gone for quite a gold-y colour, with neutral tones.
“The light changes on the kitchen cupboards throughout the day, sometimes they look satin and sometimes they look metallic and I love it.
“I absolutely love the quartz worktops, there’s these gorgeous little reflective bits which capture the light, and it just screams luxury through and through.
Tiered bar area
“I had this idea of having a tiered bar area in quartz to match the worktops and the design team from Howdens brought that to life.
“I was adamant that I wanted to see the glasses and have it all illuminated and when I was walking round the Expo I saw those gorgeous black smoked glass cupboards, with wooden interiors and the glass all lit up, and I was like, I’m having that!
“Appliances for me are really important and the reason I went for Lamona was because they are absolutely stunning and they do the job.
“I love the high ceilings of this property, so I didn’t want to have a big extractor fan hanging down from the ceiling so when I saw this Lamona Hob with an integrated extractor fan, it had my name written all over it.
“Visiting the Howdens Expo was so important for me because I like to think I’ve got quite an eye for design and what I like.
“But seeing everything in real life, being able to touch the products, see the appliances, the worktops everything, it’s like a theme park for adults looking for kitchens.
“One of the highlights of this experience was working with my tradesperson Dom.
“He has been so amazing at catering for every single thing I asked for.
“I’ve worked with quite a few kitchen suppliers in my time but working with Dom and matching that up with the design team from Howdens has been the perfect match.
“I’m so thrilled with how everything’s gone and it all looks perfect.”
Combining luxury modern and classic kitchens
Katherine Mitchell, Interior & Display Designer at Howdens said; “Rylan’s kitchen design brings together two key trends: a blending of a luxury modern look and classic detailing.
“Clerkenwell Matt Metallic frontals in Bronze introduce a sleek contemporary feel, with the integrated J-pull handle creating a streamlined look.
“The bronze finish harmonises well with other warm metallic accents, such as the brass sink & tap, and the gold marble veins of the worktop.
“Smoked glass doors with internal lighting further enhance the contemporary edge, while classic details, such as the decorative mouldings, allow this modern kitchen to sit comfortably with the flat’s Victorian setting, bringing depth and a sense of timeless luxury.
A luxury hotel vibe
“Rylan’s inspiration for the space was to evoke the feel of a luxurious hotel suite rather than a traditional kitchen.
“To reinforce this approach, wall cabinets and tall units were deliberately avoided.
“Keeping the layout low-level allows the kitchen to blend seamlessly into the wider living space, giving it the feel of a sophisticated bar or drinks area rather than a conventional kitchen.”
Howdens offers a wide range of both kitchens and bedrooms, from best on budget to premium.
They have 850 depots across the UK and Ireland which ensures there is plenty of availability when needed.
