What to draw on for your kitchen renovation
beyond reflecting trends that might be here
today and old-hat tomorrow? One way forward
would be to achieve a look and feel that calls to
mind favourite places and experiences.
Having travelled to New York on a regular
basis, this family asked designer Simone van
der Plas of Encompass for a kitchen reminiscent
of eating at the chef’s table in the kitchens of
several famous New York restaurants.
“Essentially, they wanted a 1920s New York
deli-style meets light industrial themed kitchen
for a large, grand 1890s mansion,” she says.

castors, this steel and granite dining
table can be moved at a moment’s
notice – all part of a New York deli
meets light industrial feel kitchen by
Encompass Ideas Interior Design.

further the deli look, while a large,
fully equipped scullery is used as a
second kitchen, ideal for catering. A
custom steel access ladder adds to
the industrial flavour.
