Set along one of Petworth’s prettiest cobbled streets, Donna’s Georgian townhouse has been a true labour of love. A Grade II listed property, it needed a full renovation - and Donna took on much of the work herself, determined to create her forever home.
At the heart of the renovation is this sleek, handleless kitchen. Made in Germany, it strikes just the right balance between contemporary minimalism and timeless quality. Designed with clean lines and clever details, it feels calm, elegant and completely tailored to Donna's interior style.
Handleless kitchen cabinets
The cabinetry is finished in Magnolia Acrylic matt with a soft chamfered edge - a subtle detail that keeps things crisp without being too clinical. Inside, oak-effect carcasses bring in a touch of warmth that pairs beautifully with the natural wood flooring.
We used a 30mm Quartz Bianco Misterio worktop for its soft veining and light-reflecting polish, and added a grey mirrored splashback adds depth and reflects light from the tall sash windows and helps bounce light around the space.
A kitchen that works hard
Donna chose Neff appliances for their reliability and smart design, along with a Quooker hot tap to simplify everyday tasks. Internal glass drawers keep everything neat without interrupting the sleek cabinetry, while floating oak shelves with integrated lighting provide practical, open storage - and a chance to display favourite pieces.
There’s even a quiet corner by the window with a small breakfast table and stool - the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an end-of-day glass of wine.
Built to last
This is a kitchen built to last - not just because of the high-end materials and appliances, but because it’s been designed around the way Donna wants to live. After carefully renovating the rest of the house, she wanted the kitchen to feel like a space she could enjoy - calm, beautifully made, and ready for everyday life.
Like the rest of Donna’s lovingly restored townhouse, this space is both a testament to her taste and a commitment to staying put, living well, and loving where she is.
