Lisa’s Brighton Kitchen: From Editorial to Everyday Living

23rd June 2025

Nestled just moments from Brighton’s seafront, this bespoke Brighton kitchen showcases a transformation that feels both personal and poetic. What began as a practical renovation soon became a kitchen layered with story, materiality, and character – and one that now proudly graces the cover of KBB Magazine.

A spacious kitchen featuring yellow cabinetry with a central island in blue, topped with marble. There are elegant glass pendant lights, a parquet floor, and a cosy seating area with a patterned chair and rug.

A Brighton Kitchen That Captures the Imagination

The vision was simple: more flow, more light, and a space that felt unmistakably “Lisa.” With Harvey Jones designer Anna Marksén-Roche guiding the journey, the result is a Brighton kitchen that feels grounded in tradition, yet entirely fresh.

Handcrafted Arbor cabinetry, painted in soft, sun-washed yellow, wraps the room in warmth. At the heart of the space sits a bold, blue island – a focal point that feels sculptural and practical in equal measure. The palette is confident but calm, layered with thoughtful contrast.

Elegant kitchen featuring soft yellow coloured cabinetry with glass upper cabinet doors, a white Belfast sink, and a blue-grey marble backsplash. A brass Perrin & Rowe tap and decorative items complete the setting.

Where Heritage Meets Everyday Life

This Brighton kitchen is full of architectural charm – with doorways, corners, and character features that have been cleverly embraced. Fluted glass on the larder wall gently refracts light. A reeded-panelled island offers a subtle nod to the dining space beyond. Everything feels considered, yet effortless.

Walk through the space and you notice the rhythm: brass hardware catching the light, the cool swirl of Aquabella quartzite, the textural echo of oak parquet underfoot. This bespoke Brighton kitchen invites you in and rewards your attention with quiet moments of craftsmanship.

Designed for the Spotlight – and for Real Life

There’s something quietly powerful about a kitchen that earns a front cover. Lisa’s Brighton kitchen captured the attention of KBB Magazine not for its grandeur, but for its authenticity. It tells a story of considered choices, layered textures and timeless colour – all grounded in the lived experience of its owners.

This Harvey Jones kitchen balances form and feeling. The soft yellow cabinetry glows with warmth. The deep blue island feels calm and grounded. Every detail has been composed with care – from the brushed brass handles that will age with grace to the built-in utility room hidden behind a seamless run of cabinetry.

A cosy built-in reading nook painted in light blue, featuring a cushioned seat with pillows, flanked by shelves filled with books and decorative items.

What makes this Brighton kitchen truly special is that it doesn’t stop at beautiful. It’s purposeful. Comfortable. Designed for weekday dinners and weekend guests, early mornings and quiet nights. It is, in every sense, a kitchen made to be lived in.
