Emma’s Elegant Contemporary Kitchen
Rainham
“Designing Emma’s kitchen was an absolute joy! Witnessing the transformation from start to finish was truly a showstopper. We completely revitalised the outdated kitchen with a sleek yet moody design. We blended an industrial aesthetic with the warmth of oak, creating a modern yet inviting atmosphere in the kitchen and the new dining space. The finishing touches, inspired by everything Disney, make this kitchen one of my all-time favourites!” – Lucy, Kitchen Designer
The Client’s Brief
Our client, Emma, was looking for a room that was cohesive with her open-plan dining room. She also had a blank wall she wanted to optimise, so we cleverly incorporated a double larder, worktops and cupboards, which is now her favourite part of the new kitchen.

The Project
This kitchen, from our Avola Perfect Sense range, presents an ideal blend of style and functionality with sleek, matte grey cabinetry featuring clean lines and minimalistic handles. The choice of materials in this design is both practical and beautiful, with subtle worktops providing ample workspace, and the warm, natural tones of the wood flooring add a cosy contrast to the graphite grey, grounding the space and bringing a touch of warmth.
Offering a refined look that seamlessly integrates into the kitchen, the larder is elegant and functional, with sleek, matte grey cabinets, soft close doors and ample storage space for all Emma’s essentials. The hand-crafted quality of the cabinetry is evident in every detail, from the smooth, flawless finish to the sturdy, easy-to-grip handles that add a touch of sophistication. The design is elevated further by the striking wooden vertical panelling on the wall, which introduces texture, creating a warm yet contemporary feel.
Details
Emma loved the larder, which provides spacious shelves accommodating all her kitchen essentials, from dry goods to small appliances. The interior is stylish and functional, with the matte grey finish and natural wood tones carried through from the exterior, creating the cohesive and visually appealing design Emma was looking for.
