This warm and refined Shaker kitchen, designed by Veronika, features painted cabinetry in Little Greene Joanna 130, paired with an island finished in Railings to create a subtle contrast that enhances the layered palette. A Neolith Calacatta Royale worktop and matching splashback form a continuous, elegant surface at the heart of the space, while bespoke inset burnished brass handles provide a refined, tactile detail. The overall design combines tradition and contemporary living with effortless cohesion.
At the centre of the kitchen, the island offers generous workspace and built-in storage. The appliances are carefully chosen and discreetly integrated, including a Fisher & Paykel range cooker, and a Caple dual-zone wine cooler.
The media unit, painted in Railings, mirrors the kitchen’s craftsmanship and clean lines. Its bespoke design provides practical storage and display while maintaining visual continuity with the cabinetry, creating a seamless connection between the kitchen and living areas.
The joinery in the children’s room continues the Shaker design with 70mm rails and stiles and durable dovetailed oak drawers for ample storage, finished in Little Greene Celestial Blue 101. The cabinetry combines playful colour with thoughtful craftsmanship to create a calm and organised space for young family life.
This Barnes home showcases Higham’s commitment to material quality, exemplary design, and seamless cohesion. Each room has been tailored for both function and elegance, with a balance of layered colour, refined hardware and timeless detailing that carries throughout the project.
