The Shaw family asked us to breathe new life into their kitchen, envisioning a modern, open-plan living space that exuded both style and function. Designer Kitchen Direct rose to the occasion, crafting a kitchen that surpassed their expectations.
Aesthetics Meet Functionality
Out went the bulky, outdated cabinets. In their place, sleek, handleless doors in a contemporary colour palette – Farrow & Ball’s Tanners Brown and Pavilion Grey – create a clean, streamlined look. A touch of warmth is introduced with feature doors in “Vintage Santa Fe” oak, adding a dash of character. A painted link shelf with integrated spotlights not only ties the space together but also provides valuable functionality.
Durable Beauty and Clever Solutions
Silestone Desert Silver worktops offer stunning visual appeal while remaining highly durable and practical for everyday use. A cleverly integrated, sloped drainer simplifies the dishwashing experience. Meanwhile, hidden “James Bond”-style doors seamlessly conceal doorways to a storage area and boiler cupboard, preserving the kitchen’s clean aesthetic.
Modern Conveniences for a Modern Life
Cooking transforms into a social activity with a cleverly positioned vented hob on the island. This not only frees up valuable space around the sink for preparation but also fosters a more connected atmosphere. Storage solutions are maximised with features like a Peka pull-out corner unit, a concealed pull-out towel rail, and a spacious larder unit. Wide drawers offer ample space for cookware, while separate fridge and freezer units ensure ample food storage. Finishing touches include a sleek black Quooker tap, eliminating the need for a kettle, and black lighting bezels that add a modern touch.
We transformed the Shaws’ kitchen from a dated space into a beautiful, functional, and personalised haven, perfectly reflecting their modern lifestyle.
