Framing the View

Designed for a beautiful new build home, this bespoke in-frame Shaker kitchen brings together traditional craftsmanship, richly detailed joinery and thoughtful functionality.

The homeowners envisioned a kitchen with real presence, favouring substantial mouldings, decorative panelling and a refined, classic aesthetic. Handpainted cabinetry, intricate framed doors and tongue-and-groove detailing establish the character of the space, while a contrasting deep navy island in Colourtrend Star-Studded introduces depth and warmth, finished with antique brass knurled handles by Carlisle Brass.

With multiple windows limiting the available wall space, achieving a balanced layout while incorporating essential tall storage required a carefully considered approach. Bespoke cabinetry frames a beautiful window seat overlooking the garden, cleverly accommodating the integrated fridge and freezer while creating a distinctive architectural feature.

The island forms the centrepiece of the kitchen, its substantial detailing complementing the ceiling bulkhead above. And beyond the kitchen, a bespoke walk-in pantry makes a statement of its own, with rich blue cabinetry, warm timber surfaces and beautifully organised storage visible through glazed doors.

The adjoining utility continues the kitchen's design language while introducing practical solutions for everyday family life, including integrated laundry facilities, a laundry chute, dedicated appliance storage and a concealed robot vacuum cleaner.

The result is a beautifully cohesive collection of spaces, where traditional detailing and bespoke craftsmanship are balanced by intelligent design for modern living.
