Modern and Inviting Shaker Kitchen

Hythe, Hampshire

This kitchen is a testament to modern beaded shaker design, where functionality meets sophistication. The striking interplay of the deep blue shaker-style base and wall cabinets against the pure white countertops, paired with the light grey tall cabinetry creates a visually stunning and cohesive design statement. Beautiful cup handles add character to the overall aesthetic. Above, elegant pendant lights cast a warm glow that highlights the kitchen’s sleek surfaces and the subtle sheen of the stainless steel and black glass appliances.

The layout is thoughtfully arranged for a fluid transition between cooking, dining, and entertaining. The central island establishes an inviting social space while providing additional workspace and cleverly concealing a luxurious wine cooler for added functionality. High-specification appliances and accessories are seamlessly integrated into the design, including a Quooker tap, a state-of-the-art self-cleaning oven and a multi-door refrigerator, ensuring the kitchen is equipped for baking or cooking creations of any scale.

Natural light floods the space, and discrete under-cabinet lighting ensures a bright and inviting atmosphere at any time of day. This kitchen is not just a space for cooking but a hub of the home, tailored for both lively gatherings and intimate culinary moments.

“Steve happily accommodated us and our children and went through every detail meticulously. When we had second thoughts about the sink, Steve was willing to find another solution even though we probably drove him crazy. Overall we are so pleased with our kitchen and would highly recommend Kitchens InStyle. We even went back and had our fitted bedroom furniture designed and made.”

“The overall brief was to provide a functional design that would cope with a bustling young family whilst offering a perfect visual backdrop to their substantial extension. The sink & hob are deliberately positioned to keep the hot stuff out of the way and to aid the constant flow of service to and from the sink & dishwasher to the island & dining seating areas. Having spoken to our clients several times since they had their new kitchen, utility and master bedroom installed, I am so pleased to hear each time how much they all still love it.”
