A young family moving to Penarth were looking for a traditional property with period details and wanted their new kitchen to reflect this. With two beautiful stained glass windows in the room they wanted to keep the main cooking run in a neutral Farrow and Ball colour Skimming Stone. To pick up the jewelled colours in the windows they opted for the island to be painted in Farrow and Ball's Cook's Blue to add a contemporary element. A new Aga in a simple off-white adds interest and works beautifully with the pale quartz worktops
