The brief
The layout already works: a deep U with the cooker on the back wall, the sink under the window and a long bench under the side window. What the household wanted gone was the honey oak cathedral doors, the grout lines on every benchtop, the boxed fluorescent light and the beige vinyl floor.
The approach
The concept keeps every run of joinery where it is and changes what you touch. Slab doors in a warm putty with slim brass bar pulls replace the arched oak fronts. The tiled tops become honed stone with a travertine slab splashback. The microwave and the cupboards around it give way to a plastered rangehood and a single oak shelf, the light box becomes a flat ceiling with downlights and two linen drums, and pale oak boards run through the room.

The “before” is a real photo of someone else’s room by Brian Wangenheim, published on Unsplash; it is not an Oak & Ember project. The concept images are AI-generated from that photo for a fictional brief and are not a record of completed work. Dimensions, structure and services would be confirmed on site and in a written project brief.
