Kitchen of the Week: Red, Pink, and Lace in a Former Victorian Lacemaker’s Grange

October 2, 2025

When a client approached deVOL to redesign the small kitchen of her 1790s Georgian home in North Nottinghamshire village, she wasn’t looking for inspiration. She already had it: lace. “They live in the original house and wanted to restore the space rather than renovate. The house was developed by a Victorian lacemaker, so she felt like our Lace Market Tiles were the perfect fit,” says deVOL.

From there, they collaborated to create a characterful kitchen that has a sense of place and is in proportion to the rest of the old home. “Her brief was an unfitted style of kitchen that had a nod to the past to suit the history of the property.”

Join us for a tour.
