This London Kitchen Features the Most Unexpected Cabinet Colors

Alexa Jacobs, a senior kitchen designer and showroom manager at deVOL Kitchens, recalls when a pair of new homeowners walked into the store seeking some guidance.
“They came in on a very hot summer’s day back in July 2021,” she says. “They were in the process of purchasing an 1870s Victorian property in North London, and it needed a good dose of TLC—the place hadn’t been touched in years!”
This was the first property the couple had ever purchased, and it also happened to be their initial foray into renovations, so Jacobs knew they felt pressured to get it right. The existing kitchen was tucked away in a corner of the home’s lower ground floor, and they wasted no time deciding that it was much too small for modern living. Instead, the couple aimed to turn the entire front of the home into a shared kitchen and dining room, complete with an old-meets-new aesthetic.
