About the project

Sophisticated Style and Functionality: The Stepped Shaker Kitchen

When it comes to designing a kitchen that is both beautiful and functional, the Stepped Shaker style stands out as an iconic choice. This kitchen combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements, resulting in a space that is both timeless and practical. With a rich palette of warm tones, high-quality materials, and sleek finishes, the Stepped Shaker kitchen is a perfect blend of elegance and everyday functionality.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this design so special.

Doors: Stepped Shaker in Ash with Elephants Breath & Night & Day

The stunning Stepped Shaker doors are made from Ash, known for its natural beauty and warm, textured finish. The Elephants Breath color for the main cabinetry provides a soft, neutral tone that creates a calm and welcoming atmosphere, while the Night & Day (Island) offers a striking contrast, making the island the focal point of the kitchen. This mix of shades adds depth and visual interest to the space while keeping the overall aesthetic light and fresh. The 25% sheen finish gives the doors a gentle shine, adding a modern touch while ensuring that the surface remains durable and easy to maintain. This kitchen offers the perfect balance of classic design and contemporary appeal. The kitchen carcass is crafted from Super-pan melamine particle board in a beautiful Hickory Frida finish, bringing a touch of warmth and natural texture to the design. This sturdy and stylish material ensures durability while complementing the soft tones of the Elephants Breath and Night & Day finishes on the doors. The edging is matched to the door colours, creating a seamless look that enhances the kitchen’s overall harmony.

Hinges and Drawers: High-Quality Functionality

For smooth and reliable operation, we’ve selected Hinges & Fittings which feature soft-closing buffers. These hinges ensure that doors close gently and quietly, providing a premium feel every time they are used. The Anthracite Soft Close drawers offer both style and function. The soft-close feature ensures smooth, quiet operation, while the Anthracite finish provides a sleek, modern look that contrasts beautifully with the lighter tones of the cabinetry.

Handles & Knobs: Malt Old Iron Finish for Added Elegance

To finish off the cabinetry, our clients chose the Malt Old Iron Handle and Knobs. These handles add a rustic yet elegant touch to the kitchen, offering a beautiful contrast to the soft colour palette. The Old Iron finish gives the kitchen a vintage feel, enhancing the timeless appeal of the Stepped Shaker style while adding a sense of depth and sophistication.

Sink & Tap: Practicality Meets Style

A spacious, functional sink is key to any kitchen, and for this design, we’ve selected the Large Single Bowl sink. This sink provides ample space for food preparation and washing dishes, ensuring that your kitchen remains both practical and beautiful. The stainless-steel finish complements the modern aesthetic of the design while offering easy maintenance and long-lasting durability. The Quooker Tap – Known for its instant hot water functionality, the Quooker tap is a brilliant addition to any kitchen, ensuring convenience for cooking and cleaning tasks. This modern tap design adds a sleek, minimalist touch to the overall look of the kitchen.

Worktops: Quartz 3zm

The Quartz worktop is both a stylish and durable choice for this kitchen. The design features subtle, natural veining that adds depth and sophistication to the surface. The blue vein was selected to compliment the Night & Day blue of the island. Quartz is known for its durability, and is resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making it an ideal choice for busy kitchens. The worktop includes the upstand and backsplash at the hob and window sill, ensuring a cohesive and seamless flow throughout the kitchen. This elegant combination of quartz and stone creates a sleek, polished look that enhances the overall aesthetic of the space.
