How a chef designed his ideal kitchen at home

Chef and writer Ben Lippett renovated his south London one-bedroom flat kitchen to suit cooking, filming and daily life. Collaborating with Joyn Kitchens, he removed awkward spaces, reorganized work zones, combined oak units with a stainless-steel worktop, and added an island, bold tiles and practical storage. The design prioritizes workflow, durable materials and personality, transforming how he cooks and works at home.
