Warm walnut and crisp maple, a winning combo!

One of our small projects for a property in Lavenham.  A quaint, little cottage with lots of original features and very traditional decor, so it was interesting that the clients chose this fairly modern mix of maple and walnut wood.

Dovetail drawers with conical handles to match

Rustic twist

Incredibly simple yet most appealing with it's neutral colours and rustic worktop and flooring.


This kitchen was designed for a young family in their country house who wanted a relaxed, spacious area to cook and entertain family and friends staying at the weekends.


The counter tops are made from fumigated solid oak wood and finished in Danish oil.  They match the Rich Autumn slate flooring perfectly don't you think?


The client chose a traditional French farmhouse style for the main sink and this copper under-mount with matching copper tap for the prep sink in the central island. 

A painted glass splashback has since been added to this run which finishes the room off nicely.

Solid Oak Worktops

Wooden counter tops look fabulous in any kitchen and give a wonderful rustic feel, which works just as well with contemporary designs.  A mix of wood and granite is the perfect combination, with the wood softening the stone and adding warmth to the room. 

Although some care is needed, wooden tops are not as high maintenance as you may think. Yes, they need to be oiled regularly and we recommend at least once a year, but with just a little attention, you can keep them looking brand new for years and any stains can be simply sanded out. 

If you would like advise on how to look after your wooden worktops, just drop us a line at info@bakerandbaker.co.uk and we will mail you an information sheet.
