Ever given that Margot profiled the Edinburgh apartment of Nina and Craig Plummer—the designers and shopkeepers driving Ellei Property, then called Ingredients LDN—we’ve returned to its quiet, refined simplicity. In addition to their relatively new studio room, in a 19th-century Renaissance-fashion building previously used as a church corridor, the duo photographs all of their offerings in situ in their flat, and each element is built with this in thoughts: lime-washed walls for a neutral, evocative backdrop, a kitchen area island on casters for effortless maneuvering.
Just lately, on returning again to the post, we found something else about the place: a definite Shaker inflection in the kitchen. Fitting, considering that Nina explained to Margot at the time: “We like to feel that if we use our values to condition our homes, our houses will, in turn, condition the daily life that unfolds within them.”
Join us for a glance.

Above: Exquisite twin doors guide into the cook area. Although they glimpse unique, they ended up tailor made produced by the couple’s carpenter, borrowing the patterning on the Georgian interior shutters, and paired with “the only parts of original components left in the home.”
Above: Beforehand, a tiny kitchen and dim bath experienced occupied the place now, with partitions removed, there’s enough space for deVol’s Sebastian Cox kitchen area and a moveable desk and chairs by the developed-in banquette. And lots of all-natural light-weight, also.Higher than: In lieu of higher cabinets, a Shaker peg rail, sourced from a modest-batch British maker on Etsy, stretches the duration of the kitchen area and retains scrub brushes and mugs by the sink and trivets and cookware by the Smeg range.
Previously mentioned: A coffee setup upcoming to the stove. (The Fluted Utensil Holder is now bought out.)Higher than: The counter tops are honed Carrara marble, which will age with time (and will make an fantastic picture shoot backdrop).Earlier mentioned: On the opposite facet of the kitchen, a not-as well-precious antique French bread cupboard nestles up from the Smeg fridge. The kitchen walls are completed in water-resistant Marmorino Venetian plaster, and the grey candle is a Dutch design and style.
Additional glimpses of the couple’s kitchen area and flat can be uncovered by perusing the store or the @elleihome Instagram feed.
