This is such a popular kitchen style. It works anywhere, from a period property to a modern new build. The driving force here is absolute symmetry. If it doesn’t line up, it doesn’t go in.
This is huge. Standing 2.6 metres tall, it’s finished internally in gris-beige to match the moody blue exterior cabinetry. The underestimated feature is the stepped shelving – fixed shelves at different depths so you can see the items at the back without having to unpack the whole cupboard. Simple, but brilliant.
We used Cornforth White, a soft white paint colour on the main run of cabinets, but grounded it with a slate backsplash for contrast. The island features a gold Quooker tap and gold handles, picking up the subtle metallic flecks in the stone floor. It’s a colour scheme that avoids the sterile look of pure white.
We loaded this kitchen with the best of the best: Sub-Zero refrigeration and premium large width Wolf ovens.
This kitchen works because it ignores trends and focuses on architecture. The massive central canopy anchors the room, and the symmetry creates a sense of calm you can feel as soon as you walk in. It’s big, bold, and perfectly balanced.
