Islington Kitchen
We worked closely with the client to transform this Islington kitchen into a bright, characterful space which suits her perfectly. The kitchen had wonderful bones but needed a refresh. We added cornicing, repurposed a good amount of the existing cabinetry, built a plastered hood, added new lighting, a custom bench seat and a perfectly sized tulip table to seat up to 10 people.
“Carina is super smart and was incredibly responsive, professional and committed throughout the project, which was especially appreciated given this was quite a small project in terms of scale but managed to stretch out in terms of time! The designs she provided were high quality and made it easy to visualise the final outcome, and Carina was very understanding and helpful with iterations to ensure we got the right result. I especially appreciate how generous she was with her time and insight (as I pinged her throughout with lots of ad hoc questions about which she was extremely patient, helpful and responsive). She has a very practical and transparent approach to budgeting, too. Carina has a truly sensitive understanding of what her clients wants, underpinned by a quick grasp of a range of different interior and design vernaculars. She has a great sense of personal taste but was highly attuned and flexible to my “vision” for the project. I’m so grateful for her persistence; her creative and practical approach to all the inevitable challenges; and her sangfroid (very reassuring!).”
