Home improvements & building · Bolney
Bring everyday purpose to your Bolney renovation.
Bolney’s history includes charcoal production for the surrounding iron industry, while the church lychgate brings Sussex oak, stone and former millstones into one small structure. It is a village where the purpose and character of materials are easy to notice. INTEGRAL welcomes Bolney projects from Brighton and Hove, considering the working rooms, storage and services around the way your household lives.
How should a material’s position in the room guide your choice?
The 1905 lychgate at St Mary Magdalene’s offers a particularly local example of different materials used together. For a new kitchen, start with the elements that will remain: a floor, table, fireplace or view into the next room. Look at samples beside those features. A restrained selection can still have depth when grain, surface texture and the scale of each material have been considered in the actual light.
Make the entrance and utility space useful
Follow the route from the door to the kitchen with an ordinary load of shopping, coats or laundry in mind. Where do things pause before they are put away? If the same worktop handles everything, a utility area or revised cupboard arrangement may help. Measure the appliances and awkward items that need a home. Plan washing, drying and storage together, allowing room to use doors and drawers comfortably.
Connect comfort to the wider project
When kitchen units, floors or plumbing positions are changing, bring the heating arrangement into the brief early. Describe how each room is used and any existing comfort concerns. The options need to suit the building and the proposed work, with controls and maintenance access considered alongside finishes. For a broader refurbishment, identify which rooms should be tackled first and which facilities the household will need during the work.
Need help sourcing materials?
If you haven’t yet sourced your materials, or would like help choosing products and finishes, we work hand in hand with our sister company, Old Bank Kitchens, to help you find the right options for your project.
