Our Latest Client Installation At Tom Howley we work with you to create a design that is right for your lifestyle and home, working closely with you we will bring your ideas to life. This client came to us with plans for their new extension and they wanted to create the perfect space for spending time with family and friends. To begin with the designer met with the client to understand how the space was going to be used, their new open plan space needed to function as a state of the art kitchen, dining area and space for the whole family to relax in. They had specific requirements for the type of appliances they wanted to incorporate in the kitchen design but were open to our ideas on layout and space planning. After the first consultation, an initial presentation of the kitchen was presented to the client to bring their ideas to life, once the client agreed and we had all the details including floor plans and elevations we were able to create a three-dimensional walk-through of the kitchen for the client to sign off their design. The island is painted in our own bespoke paint colour, Dewberry which the client has then found a match of for their walls. The perimeter cabinetry is again painted in a Tom Howley paint colour, Thistle which works well with the Lyra Silestone worksurfaces in adding light to the room. Even though the space is quite large, we created plenty of clever storage solutions for the clients so we could afford to break up the solid cabinetry with open book cases and glazed dressers to give that more laid back feel to the room.
