The Brief

To create a classic, shaker-style kitchen for our Swindon showroom which provides a softer, more traditional looking space that retains all of the modern functionality and precision furniture construction.

The Design

The dark and dramatic ‘Lava Black’ tone of the furniture is balanced by the 30mm Compac ‘Carrera Glace’ quartz worktops which wraps around the lower cabinets.

The space retains our trademark clean, visual appearance through the considered use of handles and touch-to-open mechanisms. Storage space is maximised using a variety of cabinets and drawer systems, allowing easy access to contents from front to back.

Additions such as the country-style crates bring a touch of visual interest and contrasting texture to the space, reflected in the simple adjacent wine rack. Inside the drawers, the organisation system provides a place for everything, from spices and cutlery to clingfilm and foil.

Reclaimed Pine wall cladding ‘zones’ the dining space and brings natural warmth to the kitchen. The grain and texture contrast with the flat colour of the cabinets whilst linking the room to the dining furniture. Around the table, Globus chairs and Zero table, Buster & Punch lights create an area of intimate lighting, finishing the room perfectly.
