Bespoke Shaker Kitchen Kirkham
Imagine a kitchen that lifts every family moment. Set in the charming suburb of Kirkham, this beautifully considered kitchen renovation is a true example of how thoughtful planning and quality craftsmanship can completely transform a family home. The brief was clear: a complete kitchen renovation that would open up the space, introduce a lighter, more refined palette, and showcase exceptional custom cabinetry designed for modern family living.
To achieve this, the floor plan was completely re-imagined, creating a seamless open-plan layout that feels both generous and inviting. The design balances classic detailing with contemporary functionality, resulting in a kitchen that is both timeless and highly practical.
The shaker-style cabinetry is painted in Dulux Lexicon Quarter with a satin finish, delivering a soft, refined look that enhances the natural light throughout the space. To the left and above, reeded glass display cabinets with internal lighting create a beautiful focal point, Hettich soft-close systems echoing softly with the closing of each door. As dusk falls, the cabinets radiate a warm glow, framing the integrated appliance cupboard and custom rangehood, adding depth to the design.
Champagne Gold Esperance cabinet handles were chosen to echo the warm, flowing golden veins of the YDL Bella Oro stone, gracefully sweeping across both the splashback and benchtops. This creates a union of elegance and natural beauty.
At the heart of the kitchen, the island commands attention, a confident centerpiece that celebrates exquisite craftsmanship. Its delicately executed lamb’s tongue edging captures the precision of artisanal joinery, a subtle yet luxurious detail that elevates the space with timeless sophistication. The island features a white Franke Maris sink, paired with the Franke Eos Neo pull-out tap in gold, seamlessly tying into the overall palette.
Beneath its refined exterior, the island conceals generous, thoughtfully designed storage, a quiet testament to how exceptional design seamlessly marries beauty with everyday practicality. Every element reflects a deep understanding of how a truly bespoke kitchen enriches daily life, offering enduring pleasure and effortless elegance.
Fully integrated Fisher & Paykel refrigeration and a Bosch dishwasher blend effortlessly into the cabinetry for a clean, cohesive finish, while the AEG self-cleaning oven and induction cooktop offer precision and convenience for everyday cooking.
