deVOL Kitchens brings a fresh, yet timeless approach to interiors with this South London kitchen. Nestled in a 1830s Georgian townhouse, the space balances classic charm with serene neutrals and a standout butter yellow accent. Thoughtful details, like the linen café curtains and aged brass accents create a kitchen that feels both effortlessly authentic and exceptionally curated.
From deVOL Kitchens… We arrived at this beautiful 1830s Georgian townhouse in South London’s artsy Camberwell, peered down into the deVOL kitchen through the big arched window just below street level and knew we were in for a real treat. The calm neutral tones are what make this room feel so special and different. Nestled in the basement, where it always would have been, and furnished with deVOL’s Classic English cupboards, it was all just right. It’s the gentle, undramatic colours that are becoming everyone’s choice these days; we’re back to the good old-fashioned off-whites, clotted creams and buttery yellows. These stylish customers paired a muted pale yellow with an authentic darker shade, a sort of purpley brown, to add depth and contrast, quite reminiscent of historic under-the-stairs kitchens. The mix of wide board oak and honed Carrara marble for the worktops was clever with these more earthy colours.
For a kitchen so serene, it’s big on storage, prep space and functionality. A neat L-shaped base run houses the cooker and sink, a separate tall larder for the integrated fridge and freezer and a big prep table sits in the middle. The choice to stick to just drawers on this freestanding piece was so good. It’s amazing in any cupboard run or standalone piece how simplicity, symmetry and uniformity make for a tasteful and understated look with a more bespoke feel.
We can’t forget about the walk-in pantry! One closed and one skirted base cupboard, this time from deVOL’s Shaker collection, topped with honed black granite and paired with tongue and groove panelling, slim shelves – all painted in a baked browny red.
These customers turned to us not only for their new cupboards, but for all the beautiful (and very important) finishing touches too: café curtain rails up at the window with wispy linen; a handsome heirloom Gaselier light over the prep table; mini Creamware wall lights; aged brass taps, hanging rails and handles; and a couple of our Creedy stools for perching. See, creating completely authentic interiors is actually so much easier than you think, with a little help from deVOL.
