Warm wood and stainless steel combine in this kitchen

Trendy designer kitchen surfaces come and go but the natural appeal of wood and stainless steel will never fall from grace.

The two classic surfaces come together in this kitchen a collaboration between the owner and RH Cabinetmakers.

Managing director Rob Hendrickx says the owners wanted a modern, high-function family kitchen with clean lines.

"There are several contrasting elements that draw the design together," he says. "For example, the contrast of the white and stainless with the solid wood brings warmth while the matt oak and satin paint finishes play off the shinier stainless steel.

"Plus drawers on the bank of stainless cabinets are in brushed stainless steel set against the stainless steel top and upstand. The recessed handles break up the drawer front surface, adding understated detail.

"Blum hardware underpins the design from its soft-close drawer mechanisms to lift-up Aventos bi-folding hardware."

RH Cabinetmakers works closely with architects, interior designers, specifiers or homeowners to ensure it achieves the best possible outcome for a project. Solid, hand-crafted woodworking skills are the secret to the company's broad appeal.
