Set within a characterful Surrey home, this beautifully considered framed Shaker kitchen balances depth, craftsmanship and quiet drama. Designed by Veronika, the scheme centres around rich, inky tones paired with warm brass detailing, creating a space that feels both timeless and confident.
At the heart of the kitchen is a 70mm framed Shaker design, expertly crafted in tulipwood and maple and oak. Painted cabinetry in Little Greene Pompeian Grey 293 introduces a deep, earthy elegance, while oak floating shelves soften the scheme with natural texture and warmth. The framed-to-ground plinth detail enhances the classic proportions, giving the furniture a reassuring sense of permanence and architectural presence.
The work surfaces in Horizon Stone Alaska White provide a subtle contrast; the light veining and polished finish bring lift and clarity against the darker cabinetry. Antique brass Corston Kilburn knobs and handles punctuate the design, adding warmth and refinement while complementing the rich paint tones.
Beyond the main kitchen, the design flows seamlessly into the adjoining spaces. The walk-in pantry and utility room continue in Pompeian Grey, ensuring cohesion and a consistent visual language throughout. In contrast, the bar area introduces Little Greene Lamp Black 228, a bold, atmospheric statement that elevates the entertaining space and adds a layer of understated luxury.
Internally, lacquered oak veneer ply carcasses and oak drawer boxes reinforce the sense of craftsmanship, ensuring the cabinetry is as robust as it is beautiful. Every material choice has been carefully considered, blending traditional joinery with a confident, contemporary colour palette.
The result is a richly layered kitchen designed not just for cooking, but for living, a space that feels grounded, elegant and enduring.
