When Lucy Carter and her family moved into their new home last May, it wasn’t just the start of a new chapter - it was the beginning of a complete transformation. With a stunning double-story back extension as the canvas, Lucy envisioned creating a space that was as beautiful as it was practical. Central to this vision? The kitchen. Not just a functional room, but the heart of the home where cherished family memories would unfold.
As we know the kitchen is more than just a room - it’s the soul of a home. It’s where mornings begin, where meals are shared, and where laughter echoes through the years. For Lucy, this space had to be more than functional. It needed to embody the balance of luxury and resilience, blending exquisite craftsmanship with the ability to withstand the demands of day-to-day family life.
Embarking on a kitchen renovation is an exhilarating experience, filled with endless possibilities to reimagine the heart of your home. For Lucy the space had to be striking which delivered not only on quality but impact – there was only ever going to be one choice for the stone worktop and that was Gemini Worktops.
I can’t live in a building site anymore,” Lucy laughed, reflecting on the chaos of renovations. “This is the last big project I’ll do for many years, and I wanted the kitchen to be nothing short of perfect.”
Lucy was obsessed with our latest product range which uses Ingrain Technology – this represents a groundbreaking advancement in digital printing technology, integral to the meticulously curated Stonelore collection.
This state-of-the-art technology captures every fine detail, resulting in incredibly sharp and vivid patterns that bring engineered stone to life. This revolutionary innovation elevates engineered stone to the realm of artistry, infusing each piece with bold, high-definition patterns that extend seamlessly through the full body of the material.
The result is a stunning combination of unparalleled depth, enduring elegance, and remarkable durability.
Lucy selected one of Gemini Worktops’ boldest designs – Verde Nuvola, embracing a colour palette and material that exudes confidence and charm. Infused with delicate green undertones and set against a radiant white canvas, Verde Nuvola reimagines the elegance of classic Carrara marble. Its design evokes the tranquil essence of nature and the ethereal beauty of drifting clouds, creating a surface that exudes refined luxury and enduring sophistication, transforming any space into a sanctuary of style.
“The range of colours is second to none,” she shared. “I’m obsessed with the new collection - it took me far too long to decide because I genuinely loved them all!”
This time around Lucy has embraced a more country-inspired style for this home – ‘it just feels right with its charming, rustic vibe’. To guide Lucy’s interior choices, they centred on three defining themes: country, modern, and organic. Lucy explains it’s all about blending timeless country warmth with sleek modern touches while maintaining an organic feel that breathes life into every space. Think natural-look materials that echo the craftsmanship of traditional stonemasonry, paired with lush greenery that adds vibrancy and serenity. The excitement of choosing these elements is like sculpting a masterpiece, each decision honouring the beauty of the past while creating something fresh and unique.
For Lucy, the journey from concept to reality was as important as the final result. Gemini Worktops played a pivotal role in making her vision come to life.
