Contemporary Kitchen with All Styles of Cabinet, Light Wood Cabinets and Purple Cabinets Ideas and Designs

The kitchen was designed by Formwork and features stained birch faced plywood to soften the material palette and perfectly complement the polished concrete counter tops.

This modern kitchen with a sleek, central island is made of wood and a porcelain countertop. The design enhanced by three stylish pendant lights that add a touch of mid-century charm. The herringbone wood flooring complement the warm tones of the cabinetry, creating a cosy yet contemporary feel. Large windows allow plently of natural light to fill the space.

Providing our clients with the perfect opportunity to create a clean, fresh, and modern family kitchen is our Handleless Flat Slab Shaker using a two-tone combination. Built within an extension in Haringey, London, it’s the prime example of how a thoughtful design can elevate a home, leaving a lasting impression on how investing in improving your current property can be far more rewarding than moving. We based the design on our client’s love for all things calm, resulting in a light-filled kitchen that embraces the timeless beauty of Scandinavian design. It’s a personal touch on their inspirational mood board, brought to real life. Our cabinetry is sleek and timeless, with a perfectly balanced palette of Oak Veneer Stained in Mist 5% and Farrow & Ball Wevet. These tones allow the raw materials to shine, creating a calm and grounded palette with the hand-painted finish of a delicate white and a hint of grey. The 20mm Marble Stratus Quartz worktops and splashback add a refined marble effect, keeping the overall look fresh, minimal, and effortlessly modern. We designed an L-shaped layout that flows around a central large kitchen island, designed to work seamlessly around the suspension pillar of the extension. The island balances practicality and style, featuring open shelving at the front and seating for three. It’s also the place where you find the finishing touch of the Caple Novato spray tap and Caple Leesti undermount granite sink. It’s a place for relaxed family breakfasts, quick meals, and everyday gatherings. The kitchen is fitted with a suite of Siemens StudioLine appliances, including a venting hob, single oven, compact oven, and integrated dishwasher. Practical additions, like the tall hidden stacked Bosch appliances and a single-door pantry with spice rack and internal drawers, keep everything in place. The pantry also doubles up as a coffee station for those everyday rituals. To maximise storage, the kitchen also includes a pull-out full-height pantry cupboard, ensuring everything has its place without disturbing the clean, uncluttered flow of the design. Extra features such as the integrated lighting highlight the beauty of the natural materials, and the open shelving above the hob provides a space for greenery and styling to change with the seasons. The result is a Scandinavian-inspired kitchen where raw materials, natural textures, and clean lines work in harmony, creating a modern and memorable space for everyday living and family moments.

One of the most important design considerations was the home’s stunning natural surroundings. The kitchen layout was carefully oriented to take full advantage of the view. The island and main cooking zone were positioned so that users face out towards the scenery, creating an uplifting connection with the outdoors. This orientation not only enhances the cooking experience with natural light and visual engagement but also encourages social interaction within the space.

This kitchen, located in Marlow, was designed to create a beautifully calm and welcoming space for one of our trusted contractors. A Häcker systemat handleless kitchen in Taupe UV satin lacquer forms the foundation of the design, paired with a natural fine oak carcass. Silestone Calacatta Gold quartz worktops bring understated luxury to the scheme, complemented by a Schock sink and a Quooker tap. Meanwhile, performance is seamlessly integrated throughout with Siemens and BORA appliances. A standout feature is the bar area with real wood oak veneer and grooved detailing. Complete with a Kaelo flush integrated countertop wine cooler, this space has been thoughtfully designed to support both relaxed evenings and entertaining.

Kitchen renovation, new layout with a meal table adjoining the island. Built-in pantry, appliance cupboard and integrated fridge.

We created a practical, L-shaped kitchen layout with an island bench integrated into the “golden triangle” that reduces steps between sink, stovetop and refrigerator for efficient use of space and ergonomics. Instead of a splashback, windows are slotted in between the kitchen benchtop and overhead cupboards to allow natural light to enter the generous kitchen space. Overhead cupboards have been stretched to ceiling height to maximise storage space. Timber screening was installed on the kitchen ceiling and wrapped down to form a bookshelf in the living area, then linked to the timber flooring. This creates a continuous flow and draws attention from the living area to establish an ambience of natural warmth, creating a minimalist and elegant kitchen. The island benchtop is covered with extra large format porcelain tiles in a 'Calacatta' profile which are have the look of marble but are scratch and stain resistant. The 'crisp white' finish applied on the overhead cupboards blends well into the 'natural oak' look over the lower cupboards to balance the neutral timber floor colour.
