Bryan Turner Kitchens and Galton Blackiston are a ‘Fine Accompaniment’
Bryan Turner kitchens are proud to be a business partner to Galton Blackiston. Apart from their obvious and natural affinity for all things culinary, both the kitchen designer/furniture maker and the Michelin-starred chef have an unwavering determination for achieving the highest possible standards, being sticklers for details, and being individual in everything they do.
Their partnership developed eight years ago when Bryan designed and created Galton and Tracey’s kitchen and utility room at their private home. Chosen for creativity and craftsmanship, Galton says he can’t imagine his kitchen any other way. Seeing a natural path for workflow, and inspired by the potential to improve the way Galton could use his kitchen, Bryan created a warm, practical, yet versatile living space for Blackiston family life, entertaining and cookery demonstrations.
Since then, Bryan Turner Kitchen Furniture has designed and handmade furniture for several rooms in Galton and Tracey’s home, and is currently designing wardrobes for their son’s bedroom. Bryan has also created bedroom and occasional furniture for several principle rooms in Morston Hall, and for all of the new Pavilion rooms in the annex.
Bryan Turner Kitchen Furniture employs time-served cabinet makers, craftsmen, designers and operations staff in Norfolk, serving customers throughout the UK. The team share a passion for handcrafting bespoke furniture of excellence in both quality and design. Part of their philosophy is that proportion and details are paramount to perfection, so even the subtlest of design elements are deliberately handcrafted to the most exacting standards.
“It’s all about the details,” says Bryan Turner, Founder and Director of Bryan Turner Kitchen Furniture. “The size of rails, the positioning of handles, the fine details of mouldings and turnings make a huge difference to the finished overall proportions that make furniture look right. We’re genuinely passionate about what we do. It’s not just a job.”
Attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship sees Bryan Turner Kitchen Furniture frequently featured in magazines such as Period Living and Beautiful Kitchens, and the company is fast becoming known for its creativity of design. Whether complementing extraordinary surroundings or providing continuity to an architect’s vision, the design team is creating sophisticated, architecturally sensitive spaces.
“While function is vital to every kitchen we design, we carefully consider client needs, surroundings and lifestyles from the outset,” explains Bryan. “Similar to how an architect fulfils their vision, our job is to work with the potential space, combined with composition, materials, colour and texture elements to create balanced, beautifully proportioned furniture that really works for our customers.”
For example, this kitchen (featured above and below) was designed to draw attention to scenery outside: the brief was to make the most of the view across the garden from the room’s bay window. Shaping the island to mirror the curve of the bay, seating and a window-facing prep area on the island all create a clear focal point – the garden view. At the same time, function and style are not compromised, with the result exceeding the customer’s expectations.
