In this recent kitchen project, we’ve combined sophisticated materials, thoughtful layouts, and premium appliances to craft a space that balances elegance with everyday functionality. Every detail has been carefully selected to create a kitchen that is not only stylish but also incredibly practical. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this design stand out.
Elevated Cabinetry and Seamless Design
The cabinetry in this kitchen features Barlow MDF slab doors, chosen for their flawless finish and durability. These doors are painted in Railings by Farrow & Ball, a deep, moody tone that adds richness and modern character to the space.
The design includes tall units scribed to the ceiling, giving a custom, built-in look that enhances the minimalist aesthetic. A strip light with sensor activation has been integrated into the dresser, set within stainless steel tracking to create a soft, inviting glow when in use.
Luxurious Surfaces: Amber Quartz Elegance
The 20mm Fugen Amber Quartz worktop is a true showstopper. Its warm tones and subtle patterning bring an understated elegance to the space, perfectly complementing the dark cabinetry. To complete the look, 80mm upstands run along the walls, creating a cohesive and polished appearance throughout the kitchen.
Refined Hardware Choices
For hardware, we’ve selected Alexander & Wilkes reeded bar handles in antique brass, which introduce texture and warmth to the design. These handles are paired with Auriga knobs in brushed nickel from Sterling, adding a soft metallic contrast to the darker tones of the cabinetry.
Functional and Sleek Appliances
A full suite of NEFF appliances ensures that this kitchen performs as beautifully as it looks. These include:
- 80cm venting hob – A seamless cooking experience with integrated ventilation.
- Slide and Hide single oven – Easy access and a space-saving design.
- Compact oven with microwave – Multifunctional and versatile for modern cooking needs.
These appliances are all sleekly integrated into the cabinetry to maintain the streamlined design.
Practical Sink & Storage Solutions
At the heart of the kitchen’s functionality is a 1.5 bowl undermount sink in Polar White by Sterling. This pristine sink complements the quartz worktop while offering ample space for washing and preparation.
To enhance usability and storage, the design incorporates:
- A 150mm shelved pull-out next to the hob for easy access to cooking essentials.
- A corner pull-out for maximising otherwise tricky-to-reach storage.
- A pull-out bin unit next to the sink, discreetly blending style with practicality.
Lighting & Custom Touches
Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a welcoming and functional space. The sensor-activated strip lighting in the dresser offers both convenience and ambiance, while the stainless steel tracking adds a modern, sleek edge.
Blending Natural Elements
Adding warmth and texture to the space, the interior features Natural Kendal Oak in drawers and shelving. This touch of natural wood complements the luxurious materials and adds depth to the overall design.
This kitchen design showcases the perfect harmony of modern minimalism and timeless refinement. The careful selection of materials, thoughtful layout, and premium features ensure it is a space that meets both aesthetic and functional demands. Whether you’re entertaining or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this kitchen is the perfect backdrop for every moment.
