Elegant Shaker Kitchen
The brief for this project was to create a functional, yet elegant kitchen space for day to day family life.
My client wanted to create a functional kitchen with lots of storage and a low seating area which would allow them to entertain their grandchildren. When designing this kitchen I had to make sure to add in enough storage for my clients and squeeze in a low seating area, without their long galley style kitchen feeling overwhelmed. To achieve this I designed the kitchen island as if it was moulded into part of the wall, giving the impression of a big island without loosing too much floor space. Another key design feature was keeping the taller units together in the wider area of the kitchen, this kept the rest of the space feeling light and airy. I designed a modern shaker kitchen in light grey, incorporating some texture and additional colour into the space by adding oak as the island worktop and quartz worktops throughout the remainder of the kitchen. The design accommodated two full size ovens (Neff), a large induction hob with extractor above, a tall integrated fridge/ freezer, a washer/dryer and recycling bin facilities. The mixture of modern styling/ colouring and a more traditional furniture door has really created a timeless kitchen which will see many years to come.
