THE KITCHEN of 1 Wilson Road is a cosy welcoming space that’s been a real focal point of the house for the owner’s family.

The owners inherited the kitchen which they believe was handmade by a local carpenter. For a similar country classic look the Shrewsbury painted timber kitchen is available from Nolan kitchens (01-456 7621, www.nolankitchens.com) and would cost around €25,000 for a similar sized kitchen including black granite worktops.

A strong contemporary look is introduced to the room by the glass table and chair from Meadows Byrne (01-280 4554).

The Becky dining chairs are now only available in black and white and cost €190 each. Meadows Byrne currently stocks a glass-top Tosoni table for €695.
