A neutral kitchen with a statement marble splashback
Soft neutral cabinetry, dramatic marble and warm brass details come together in this bespoke Arbor kitchen, designed for a contemporary home near Bristol.
A new-build home, designed with character
For this new-build home near Bristol, the brief was to create a kitchen that felt both contemporary and inviting. A soft neutral palette provides a calm backdrop, while striking natural marble, antique brass and carefully selected lighting introduce texture and personality.
The result is a space that feels welcoming and individual, with an island at its centre for everyday cooking and gathering.
The Details
Inside this Arbor kitchen
The brief
The clients wanted a kitchen that felt fresh, contemporary and timeless, with the flexibility to accommodate everyday family life.
They were drawn to a neutral palette but wanted to introduce more expressive materials and finishes, creating a kitchen with its own distinctive character.
The solution
A statement in stone
The Arabascato Corcia Extra marble splashback is the focal point of the design. Its dramatic veining introduces movement and contrast against the softness of the Plaster cabinetry.
Warmth through the details
Antique brass handles and wall lights bring warmth to the neutral scheme, while black pendant lighting creates a subtle contemporary contrast.
An island for everyday living
The central island creates a natural place to prepare food, gather and spend time together. Natural oak stools soften the design, complementing the warm tones throughout the space.
