Inspiring Interiors: English Oak Kitchen & Pantry

01-Dec-2024

 

 

We are captivated by this English Oak kitchen and pantry crafted by Moir Wade Design.  Designers are once again embracing the natural, sophisticated appeal of Oak. With Oak kitchens returning to the forefront of interiors, this design revival is certainly one to celebrate.

 

 

The dreamy kitchen features light, neutral tones and organic wood textures to create a warm and inviting space. Our Deco Cabinet Pull Handle was selected for its elegant yet understated look. Jonathan, of Moir Wade, explains how the handles subtly enhance the overall beauty of the kitchen, balancing elegance with practicality. Whilst the clients loved its design, the Matt Bronze finish was the real standout feature, adding warmth without overpowering the natural wood tones. The design team, were aiming for a look that would harmonize with the paint and worktops, not compete with them.  In addition, “product quality is obviously paramount,” to ensure each piece would withstand daily use.

 

 

The pantry is a dedicated room off the kitchen, designed for truly luxurious living. A space that combines beauty with function, blending warmth and sophistication with timeless materials and finishes. The richness of English Oak pairs exquisitely with our earthy Matt Bronze handles, lending a touch of elegance that complements the natural grain of the wood.

 

 

The design team at Moir Wade's top tips for updating cabinet hardware

1. Start by deciding between knobs, cup handles or pull handles, depending on your needs and style preferences.

2. Consider the door-to-drawer ratio, as this often dictates the ideal style.

3. Choosing a style - some of our "go-to" Heritage Brass products include reeded cabinet knobs, a perennial favourite for their timeless appeal. Knurled hardware finishes have recently gained popularity for adding subtle texture and interest. Location matters - sometimes handles that look beautiful may not be ideal for high-use areas, especially in the kitchen where practical choices matter.

4. Once you’ve chosen a style, think about the finish.
