Before
Dark, worn units and tired laminate that made the kitchen feel smaller than it was.

Shaker Kitchen, Rainham
Classic joinery, warm timber and quiet craftsmanship
A light greige shaker kitchen with oak worktops and a Belfast sink — timeless rather than trendy, and finished with the kind of care you notice every time you close a drawer.
The challenge
The clients wanted a kitchen that felt calm and enduring, not a fashion statement that would date. Storage, prep space and natural light were the priorities.
Our approach
We kept lines simple: shaker doors, honest timber worktops, subway tiling and hardware that sits quietly. Layout decisions favoured workflow — sink, hob and prep in a natural triangle.
The outcome
The room feels warm, ordered and unmistakably well made. It suits the house and will still look right years from now.
Soft-close fittings, accurately scribed end panels and a level run of worktop are small things that signal professional installation.
