Ray Munn Kitchens Wins KBB Magazine’s Kitchen of the Year!
We’re overjoyed to announce that Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms Magazine has awarded one of our recent projects Kitchen of the Year!
The winning design, a stunning Davonport kitchen, was featured in their December edition, showcasing the heart of our clients, Rachel and Nick’s beautiful Suffolk farmhouse.
A Kitchen Designed for Life
For Rachel, Nick, and their busy family of five, the kitchen is more than just a place to cook — it’s the heart of their home. They wanted an open and inviting space that reflected their personal style while honouring the classic charm of their farmhouse.
The result? A seamless blend of modern and traditional, with the Davonport Shoreditch range in Plaster Pink by Farrow & Ball providing the perfect soft, elegant backdrop.
Designed by our talented Ray Munn kitchen designer, Bob Marlston, the kitchen was crafted to fit the family’s specific brief:
No wall cupboards – allowing the space to feel light and airy.
Vaulted ceiling optimisation – making the most of the home’s striking architecture.
Functionality for a busy family – with ample storage, modern appliances, and plenty of space for entertaining.
A Space to Gather and Enjoy
The editor of KBB Magazine – Georgina, perfectly captured the spirit of this project, saying:
"You instantly feel like this kitchen wants you to be in it. It’s inviting, it’s simple, yet it has some beautiful detas. The cabinetry has been designed to showcase the breathtaking view provided by the black profile picture window — almost giving the impression the lush greenery is part of a real-life landscape painting."
This thoughtful design invites both family and guests to relax and connect, with every detail tailored to enhance the home’s charm.
Packed with Modern Functionality
While this kitchen’s Shaker-style design is undeniably classic, it’s equipped with cutting-edge appliances and features that make it as functional as it is beautiful:
Two Siemens under-counter ovens – for efficient cooking
A Caple 90cm Full Flex Hob with downdraught extractor – blending sleek aesthetics with practical performance
Liebherr Integrated Tall Fridge – providing ample storage for the whole family
Caple Full-Height Wine Cabinet – perfect for entertaining
Liebherr Under-Counter Fridge – adding extra convenience
Every element was carefully chosen to suit Rachel and Nick’s needs, creating a kitchen that truly supports their lifestyle.
