It’s no secret Emma Raducanu has been partying with some of the globe’s biggest A-listers, as we’ve seen her walk the red carpet at The Met Gala in NYC. We’ve delved into the luxury entertainment spaces kitchens can provide, welcoming the new list of celebs found in her phonebook.
Featuring statement lighting as seen on luxury home décor and interior retailer Buster & Punch, no kitchen / living space is complete without it. An industrial style cascade chandelier made from solid metal and using LED bulbs is the perfect fit. We are creating a NYC style, luxurious ‘loft’ style apartment here with pairing dimmer switches for ambience in matching solid metal. This style is perfect for an 18-year-old finding her feet in the city, and entertaining. For such a statement piece in your home you’d be looking at spending around £3850.
Taking the kitchen space to the next level we have selected the perfect brass, pull bar cabinet hardware designed with complementing your interior features in mind, from the cascade chandelier to the switches. We are using detailing here to create the very foundations that will create a coherent look overall, perfect for a London penthouse. Aesthetically aligning the lighting, switches, and hardware will speak volumes for this superstar penthouse. Retailing at £74 per pull-bar, we estimate using the average kitchen size needing 30 pull bars, amounting to £2,220.
Nothing completes the look of a London penthouse apartment without lavish bathtubs, floor to ceiling headboards, pendant lighting, and luxurious curtains. What better way to escape city life and tennis championships than a home filled with pure comfort and luxe.
