Designed for a spacious Surrey home, this framed Shaker kitchen balances soft colour with natural oak detailing, creating a calm and considered family space. The cabinetry features 45mm rails and stiles, with painted tulipwood frames and painted maple doors. Finished in Farrow and Ball Vert de Terre, the scheme introduces a gentle, muted green that feels both classic and fresh.
Stained White Oak is used throughout to add warmth and continuity, from the island and mantle shelf to the pantry shelving and butcher’s block. The island stands apart with an inset oak plinth detail, reinforcing its furniture-like presence within the room.
Honed Carrara marble worktops bring a refined, natural surface to the main kitchen, while antique brass Corston Kilburn handles provide a subtle contrast against the soft cabinetry tones. Internally, lacquered oak veneer ply carcasses and dovetailed oak drawer boxes ensure the construction is as robust as it is elegant.
The design flows into a walk-in pantry, where painted cabinetry is paired with oak shelving and lacquered oak interiors for a practical yet beautifully finished storage space. A separate boot room in Paper and Paint Library Stone IV introduces a slightly deeper tone, with oak shelving and quartz worktops maintaining cohesion across the wider scheme.
The result is a thoughtfully detailed Shaker kitchen that blends craftsmanship, natural materials and understated colour in a timeless, highly functional layout.
