Cherry plate rack wall

A cottage kitchen wall boarded in sage tongue-and-groove, hung with an oiled cherry plate rack - plates standing between rows of dowels, a shelf for bowls, a brass mug rail and a scooped cornice - beside two cherry shelves on cove-cut brackets, over a Shaker peg rail.

More kitchen & dining designs

• Upright cutting-board rack A white oak rack with five swept dividers housed in a solid base: two 60mm bays for chunky chopping blocks and two 45mm bays for thin boards and trays, tied together at the back by a through dowel. Boards stand on edge where both faces dry in the air instead of sweating in a stack, and any one lifts straight out without unstacking the rest - four boards in 400mm of counter.
• Ochre cookbook window seat A kitchen window wrapped in ochre built-ins: tall face-framed cookbook shelves either side with brass picture lights, a bridge shelf over the window, and a deep window seat with drawers under an oiled oak bench top and an oatmeal linen cushion.
• Glass-lidded cherry tea chest A 300 x 200mm cherry tea chest with a half-lapped egg-crate of thin dividers making eight compartments, and a doweled frame lid round a pane of glass on solid brass hinges. Every tea is in view before the lid lifts, so the right one comes out first time, and loose sachets that used to slump in a cupboard stand in tidy rows; a gift that still looks good on the counter.
