This functional kitchen connects with the home's Italian/French design accents – a warm, relaxing vibe results

Designed by Shane George Design

From the kitchen designer:

This kitchen and small walk-in scullery, plus bar is in a new home in semi-rural Greenhithe.

The mood of the home is French/Italian country, with traditional accents.

My homeowners requested a kitchen that would fit well into the home, with warm inviting tones and a relaxed vibe.

They had already selected the key appliances and the footprint was in place – however, I did have some scope in location of refrigerator and ovens, location of sink within the island and bar seating.

Also requested was a self-contained bar area, with sink, hot water tap, and wine cabinet.


For this kitchen, I selected a combination of frame and flat panel doors, drawer fronts with beaded edge detail and grooved panelling.

Soft neutral cupboard tones on the fronts were specified along with the addition of bronze accents on the handles and rangehood details.

A key product is the benchtop material – Neolith Calacatta Gold Silk

This is a sintered stone material and was used on the cooktop splashback.

Made from natural materials, much of this product is recyclable, presenting a great sustainable option for benchtops.

It has a beautiful marble-like movement, with an elegant swirling pattern of cream, beige and gold accents on a white background, making it the perfect match for the bronze accents.

The island bar seating was located close to the window seat, a great location to sit and entertain with friends.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a casual living room with gas fire, and relaxed seating – the living room also opens to an enclosed outdoor living space with another fire, and a soon-to-be-completed outdoor kitchen.

The owners' brief was perfectly met, with a functional design sympathetic to the home's style, and well suited to their lifestyle.
