A Pink Kitchen Makeover With Lucy

Featuring a dusky design from our Paint To Order collection, a pink kitchen makeover with Lucy balances character and colour in a period property. Lucy's pink kitchen is warm and welcoming, with shaker cupboards and in-frame styling that suits her heritage home. This kitchen makeover is also full of practical storage, alongside an island for everyday meals and entertaining. Explore this transformation using one of our Paint To Order kitchens in a cooking space.

About Lucy

Social media consultant and content creator, Lucy, lives with her partner, Leon, in their 1900s cottage near Richmond Park in London. A big fan of bright shades, Lucy has personalised her period home with pops of colour.

Lucy stood in her pink kitchen, leaning against the wall cabinets. There is a white worktop and a range cooker is behind her.

Design Goals

Lucy's aim was to make her home more colourful. She wanted to modernise the dated kitchen while staying true to the heritage of the house. The space also needed extra storage to keep the design organised and easy to use.

The Finished Floor Plan

A warm, pink palette makes Lucy's kitchen inviting. Shaker fronts and in-frame detailing complement the cottage's character, with larder units adding handy storage. Meanwhile, the island offers an area for socialising and dining.

Elmbridge Antique Rose

The beaded design, shaker style, and extra border makes Elmbridge In-Frame a great match for Lucy's 1900s home. Lucy added a colourful twist with Antique Rose, a warm pink from our Paint To Order collection.

In-frame Fronts

Lucy loves traditional style. So, she chose an in-frame, shaker design, which has an extra border for a decorative look.

Timeless Accessories

To continue the classic theme of her design, Lucy opted for natural, oak tones for her cutlery trays and knife blocks.

"Our favourite feature is undoubtedly the new pantry. We love the pop of Mist Blue inside our larder cupboard, as it flows nicely with the rest of our home. It’s a lovely feature in our kitchen."
