‘Bespoke’ Shaker-style kitchen
by Brandt Design
Brandt Design, specialists in the design
and installation of contemporary lifestyle
furniture complete a modern, Shaker-style
kitchen for a rural family home in Aldenham,
Hertfordshire.
This elegant, custom-made kitchen has
been designed for maximum convenience
and comfort, whether the homeowners
are enjoying a quick lunch together at the
island or entertaining friends and family
in the adjoining dining area. Designed to
bring a new look and feel to the property,
this kitchen fuses the best of Classic
and traditional style complemented by a
contemporary colour palette, Shaker-style
cabinetry and sophisticated hardware and
accessories.
The central in-frame kitchen island with
vertical grooves is finished in Slate Grey
to command the eye and create a direct
contrast against the opposing Pure Grey
colourway, stainless steel appliances and
chrome tapware. Designed to provide a
dedicated site for extra storage, it features
a practical undermount Butler Sink with
traditional-style mixer tap, rinse and hot tap
with ample space for essential food prep
and dining for-two.

Framing the seating niche is a discreet wine
cooler positioned in arms reach for added
convenience and a set of deep cupboards
and drawers. The sink-side of the island
unit conceals a generously proportoned
integrated dishwasher and for improved
air quality, a well hidden kitchen extractor
sits inside the French-style overmantel right
above the induction hob. Dovetailed by two
overhead cabinets with geometric cut-outs,
the opposing Light Grey furniture adds
perpective to the far wall and like the central
workstation, the base units are also finished
with quartz worksurfaces: designed to
extend the countertop via stylish upstands
and a hardy splashback.
On the opposite side of the room, custom-
made furniture frames house the large
American-style fridge freezer and provide
floor to ceiling storage. By doing so, Brandt
made great use of the limited wall space
and was able to maintain the flow between
kitchen and dining area. To its right, a full
height double door unit with inner quartz
worktop and low level drawers replicate
the look and feel of a traditional larder and
encure close promoxity to the twin-set of
ovens.
