Whilst Higham Furniture is mainly known as a creator of classic, clean-lined shaker kitchens, including our ever popular Southfields Handleless design, our more contemporary bespoke styles are also becoming increasingly sought after.
Earlier this year one of our contemporary handleless Corian kitchens was chosen by Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms magazine for its White Issue in an article titled ‘Stroke of Genius’.
This handleless contemporary kitchen, installed in Primrose Hill, London, features striking seamless worktops and sinks fabricated from Glacier White Corian, with the same, hard-wearing material being used for the external surfaces of the cabinetry. This uniformity of colour and texture helps to create a space which feels sleek and clean. Situated in a lower ground floor room, this kitchen could easily have felt dark and enclosed, but by keeping the colours light and the cabinetry free from clutter the space feels open and full of light.
Some flashes of variety were included in the form of a section of full stave oak on the island, Arenastone ‘Bianco Puro’ quartz by the hob, and imposing Gaggenau ovens, but largely the cabinetry was left to speak for itself. The rich oak finish used for the cabinet interiors acts as a pleasing juxtaposition to the stark white of the Corian, and helps prevent the space from feeling too clinical.
This design will not be to everyone’s taste, but as increasing numbers of our clients fall in love with it we are confident that this style has a strong future. If you would like to find out more then you access the Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms article on the press page of our website, or get in touch and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.
