Kitchens International has opened a new design studio that is inspired by its local landscape

Words Kirsty Feerick

Kitchens International has opened a brand new studio, bringing its award winning designs to a charming countryside setting.

Tucked into a historic stone steading at Orwell Farm’s rural business hub, the luxury interiors specialists are making clients feel at home beside Loch Leven. Inspired by the local scenery, the interiors of the space offer shoppers the chance to picture how a new kitchen will sit within their daily life.

“The studio’s design draws inspiration from its breathtaking setting. The colours and character of Loch Leven, the contours and curves of the historic steading building, and the surrounding natural landscape,” explains Graham Johnston, Owner and CEO of Kitchens International. “That sense of place runs through every detail of the space, creating an environment where clients can really connect with how design shapes the way they live and cook.”

To celebrate the studio’s launch, MasterChef finalist Sarah Rankin led a live cookery performance for staff and visitors on a beautifully hand crafted island. The display was also a chance to show off luxury Gaggenau appliances, as the TV star put their ‘invisible’ hob into action.

Sarah worked with The Essential Induction, a hob that is integrated seamlessly into the worktop, demonstrating how considered engineering and thoughtful design can come together in everyday cooking.

The site is one of only two locations in Scotland showing the German brand’s professional grade home appliances, allowing customers to test the latest innovations themselves.

Those looking to pay the studio a visit should note it is by appointment only, to give each client focused time with the design team and allow an immersive consultation experience.

“The Orwell Farm studio represents our ambition to expand Kitchens International’s presence across Scotland, whilst showcasing the quality of engagement our customers expect,” says Graham. “Being part of Orwell Farm is important to us, it’s a community of businesses focused on quality and creativity, and we’re committed to building genuine relationships with our fellow tenants and other local businesses, championing what they’re doing.”

The location at Orwell Farm also reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and craft. The hub’s net zero credentials and sensitive reuse of a historic site offer a fitting backdrop for Kitchens International’s focus on long lasting quality.
