The latest project from interior design agency, Design Command, Kendal Street Kitchen is a new Mediterranean-inspired restaurant in the heart of Connaught Village in Marble Arch. The brief was to create a space that felt like a cosy residential retreat, which seamlessly blended comfort and sophistication, for a timeless and welcoming space to unwind in. 

The designers focused on mid-century detailing with the dark walnut tables and chairs, set alongside colourful artwork, tactile fabrics via the built-in banquette sofas and natural finishes – including flooring from Havwoods 

Havwoods’ textured and on-trend Bergen Herringbone planks from the Henley collection have been used throughout the restaurant, creating a cohesive scheme between the different spaces. The darkness and knotting of the wood are the perfect addition to complement the darker furniture. 

To create a natural border which helps to zone the different areas, the matching Bergen 1-strip boards have been installed as a sophisticated border alongside the herringbone which runs around the edge of the restaurant. The wood flooring has been paired with terrazzo tiles which add a welcome contrast, resulting in dedicated areas and clear walkways as part of the design.
