This elegant open plan blue Shaker kitchen is carefully designed to support modern family life with timeless style and craftsmanship. Hand-painted in our rich Storm Blue shade and balanced with soft Hearthstone tones, the kitchen creates a bold yet calming presence at the heart of the home. The result is a space that feels considered and welcoming. A refined example of luxury kitchen design that works effortlessly for everyday living.
Created as part of a family home extension, this kitchen was envisioned as more than just a place to cook. It’s designed to bring people together, anchor daily routines and evolve with ever-changing family life. Having lived with a Harvey Jones kitchen before, our clients returned knowing they wanted something built for family life and tailored precisely to their needs.
The open plan layout allows the kitchen to flow naturally into surrounding living and dining areas, creating a sense of connection without compromising on practicality. The Storm Blue cabinetry introduces depth and character while grounding the space. Natural light flows in through full-height sliding doors to the garden, reflected softly by the light Hearthstone island and white quartz worktops. By carefully balancing light and dark tones, the kitchen retains a sense of openness while celebrating the classic Shaker design.
At the centre of the design sits a generous kitchen island, acting as both a functional workspace and a social hub. Positioned to face out into the room, it allows cooking, conversation and family life to unfold together. L-shaped seating wraps around the island, creating an informal dining space, while additional storage ensures the island works just as hard as it looks.
This careful balance of seating, storage and preparation space allows the island to feel open and sociable, yet quietly practical. Its presence enhances the sense of flow and openness, supporting the relaxed rhythm of an open plan family home.
Storage was a key consideration in this luxury kitchen design. The inclusion of a bespoke walk-in pantry brings both practicality and visual calm to the space. Designed with a combination of open shelving and concealed cabinetry, the pantry provides ample room for dry goods, small appliances and everyday essentials. It’s the perfect addition to keep the main kitchen uncluttered and beautifully organised.
Designed to blend seamlessly with the kitchen extension, the pantry keeps additional storage and appliances discreetly out of sight. It’s a space that works quietly in the background. It enhances the overall functionality of the kitchen while maintaining its refined aesthetic.
Throughout the design, classic Shaker detailing is used to ensure longevity and balance. Clean lines, considered proportions and handcrafted joinery allow the Storm Blue cabinetry to feel elegant rather than overpowering. Subtle detailing reinforces the quality and craftsmanship behind every element. This approach allows the kitchen to feel modern and enduring, a hallmark of Harvey Jones design.
