Timeless Style Kitchen with a Contemporary Edge

Rainham

We absolutely loved designing this kitchen. The contrast of Porcelain and Graphite cabinetry, paired with the Calacatta Gold quartz and walnut accents, gave us such a rich palette to work with. Bringing these materials together to create a space that feels elegant, practical and full of character was a real pleasure from start to finish.” – Lucy, Kitchen Designer

The Client’s Brief

Our clients were looking for a kitchen that offered timeless elegance with a modern twist, something bright, practical, and high-spec, but with classic details and warmth. Their vision included a large central island, plenty of hidden storage, and beautiful finishes that would work in harmony with their open-plan space.

The Project

This beautifully balanced kitchen brings together classic and contemporary elements to stunning effect. A mix of Porcelain and Graphite cabinetry forms the foundation of the design, with refined shaker doors creating an elegant, tailored feel. The standout central island in Graphite anchors the room and provides generous storage and workspace, all topped with luxurious Calacatta Gold quartz worktops and finished with a waterfall edge for a sleek, high-end finish.

The quartz continues up the wall behind the induction hob to create a full-height splashback, paired with a discreet integrated extractor hood for a clean, uninterrupted look.The warm white LED lighting highlights the walnut open shelving details and rich walnut cabinet interiors, adding depth and contrast throughout the design.

Functionality was just as important as style in this kitchen. The space features two full-size AEG ovens, a fully integrated fridge and freezer, and a wine cooler with capacity for 18 bottles, ideal for entertaining. Gold handles and a matching gold Blanco tap bring a touch of luxury and tie the look together, while large-format porcelain floor tiles complete the space with understated sophistication. This is a kitchen that blends elegance and practicality, delivering everyday ease with a striking presence.
