A DeVol Kitchen Tour: The Barleycroft Project
A DeVol Shaker Kitchen in Barley Wood
Nestled within a charming 18th-century farmhouse in the picturesque Cotswolds, this Barleycroft kitchen by DeVol seamlessly blends classic Shaker style with modern functionality. The homeowners, a London-based family, sought a kitchen that would complement the historical character of the property while providing a practical space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The design centers around DeVol's signature Shaker cabinetry, painted in a soft, muted green that evokes a sense of calm and tranquility. This subtle hue creates a beautiful backdrop for the brass hardware and natural wood accents, adding warmth and depth to the space.
The kitchen island, a focal point of the room, features a contrasting countertop made from aged oak. This not only provides a durable work surface but also introduces a textural element that enhances the overall aesthetic. Open shelving above the island offers convenient storage and display space for everyday essentials and decorative items.
An Aga, a staple of traditional English kitchens, anchors one end of the room, adding a touch of rustic charm and providing a powerful cooking source. Its classic design complements the Shaker cabinetry and reinforces the timeless appeal of the space.
The homeowners opted for a classic Belfast sink, its deep basin and apron front design adding to the traditional farmhouse feel. Modern appliances are discreetly integrated, ensuring functionality without compromising the overall aesthetic.
Natural light floods the room, highlighting the beauty of the materials and creating a welcoming atmosphere. The combination of natural wood, soft green cabinetry, and brass accents creates a balanced and harmonious space that is both elegant and inviting.
This Barleycroft kitchen exemplifies DeVol's commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless design. It's a space that respects the history of the home while providing a functional and beautiful environment for modern living.
