A Rustic Cornish Kitchen With an Urban Luxe Twist

This lovely 19th century Cornish cottage is the home of Becca and Damien who have lovingly updated it with an urban luxe twist inside a rustic shell.

Take a Look

Damien runs the UK’s first standalone zero waste barbershop, so both he and Becca were incredibly keen to have a kitchen that fit with their eco-credentials. For that reason they chose the Sebastian Cox Kitchen by deVOL. This range uses sustainable, underused British timber, felled using a technique called coppicing. Whilst the cupboards themselves incorporate traditional craft techniques and designs, such as weaving, sliding dovetail joints and a rough bandsawn finish. They are, of course, handmade in England and the final look is undeniably rustic but with a contemporary edge.

Alongside their Sebastian Cox kitchen, Becca and Damien also chose a deVOL Curiosity Cupboard from the Shaker range. The cupboards were all finished in the pale ‘Natural’ stain, so this standalone piece was a chance to inject some colour into the room. They chose ‘Printer’s Black’ outside and ‘Clerkenwell Blue’ inside. A perfect pairing that looked good next to the chalky terracotta floor.

Finally they finished their kitchen off with some beautiful accessories including an iconic aged brass tap with a copper tap insert, a handy hanging rail above the range cooker and a brass oval toggle switch. As always, it’s always the special little extras that really make a difference to a room.

Sebastian Cox Kitchens by deVOL are all handmade to order in England, prices start from £15,000.
