Inside this Shaker kitchen
Traditional Shaker cabinetry meets contemporary architecture in a kitchen designed to make the most of natural light and garden views.
The brief
The kitchen extension was designed to make the most of the home's generous garden setting, creating a spacious kitchen and dining area with a strong connection to the outdoors.
The design called for a light, welcoming interior that would complement the contemporary extension while incorporating traditional details and practical features for everyday living.
The solution
Our Shaker cabinetry brings a timeless quality to the contemporary extension. Soft white cabinets keep the scheme feeling bright and open, while the dark blue island provides a striking contrast and a natural focal point within the room.
Exposed oak beams and tongue-and-groove panelling introduce warmth and texture, complementing the clean lines of the cabinetry. Generous worktop space and carefully considered storage create a practical environment for everyday cooking and family life.
Above all, the open-plan layout makes the most of the extension's architectural features. Large windows and sliding patio doors frame views of the garden, creating a seamless connection between the kitchen, dining area and outdoors.
