This bespoke black modern shaker kitchen design explores the balance between classic detailing and contemporary architecture. Set within a calm, light-filled space, the kitchen feels both refined and welcoming.
Modern shaker ash grain doors are used throughout. The scheme combines depth of colour with natural texture, creating a kitchen that is elegant, practical and highly functional.


At the centre of the layout is a generous island, designed to support both everyday use and relaxed entertaining. The island anchors the space visually while providing practical storage and preparation areas, and is fitted with a built-in downdraft hob to keep the workspace clean, open and unobstructed, making it a natural focal point within the open-plan kitchen.

A striking double-height space defines this modern shaker kitchen, where bespoke black cabinetry is set against exposed brick and full-height glazing. The central island, finished in a deep graphite tone, creates a clean and uninterrupted focal point within the open-plan layout.
Natural light pours in through the large sliding doors and upper glazing. This strengthens the connection between kitchen and garden and softens the bold black palette. The combination of architectural structure, refined joinery and carefully controlled proportions creates a kitchen that feels both dramatic and calm.

This design reflects our approach to bespoke kitchen design: carefully considered layouts, high-quality materials and a strong focus on how spaces will be used every day.
