Our client presented us with a unique challenge: to craft a modern, open-plan kitchen in the upstairs open space of their new build. They were looking for a space that wasn’t just functional but also acted as a secondary eating area and transitioned smoothly into the living space. We selected Nolte Stone in Basalt, complemented by an accent in Glacier. The Quartz Grey MatrixArt handleless trims equipped with integrated lighting add a touch of modernity, ensuring a sleek finish. A 20mm thick Silestone Gris Expo solid surface worktop was chosen, and we added a Glacier breakfast bar and Basalt table to align with the colour theme. For appliances, we trusted NEFF to deliver on performance, including their single oven, combination microwave, steam oven, induction hob, and gas domino hob. The downdraft extraction was a key addition, ensuring efficiency without the overhead extractor, and we integrated the client's existing American fridge freezer into the design seamlessly. Special touches include a Blanco 1 ½ bowl undermounted sink paired with a Quooker Flex stainless Steel instant boiling water tap. Laminate flooring was laid to ensure longevity and ease of cleaning. To extend the functionality, we constructed a matching Nolte table and seamlessly moved the design into the living space, adding a contemporary sideboard unit and a media unit in the sitting area.

"Noir Desir" means dark desire... and that's exactly what this Laminam porcelain surface can offer to your personalized space. Kitchen island, extractor fan and smart shelving systems encased in the most luxurious material.

It is a distribution designed for the possible coexistence of two people who maintain a spatial freedom, giving this reason for the planning of two bedrooms completely separated by a walkway. Both bedrooms have beds of 140cm x 200cm, wardrobes, desk and independent windows. ​ As we mentioned, the bedrooms are separated by a walkway that has been conditioned as a reading space, it should also be noted that from that point we have a visual control of the space. ​ On the ground floor, we can see that the dead space of the stairs has been used as a kitchen where we have the burners, the oven and the odor extractor. We also have the rest of the public spaces such as the living room, the dining room, the toilet and the laundry room. ​ Some of the furniture presented in this flat renovation are products of Hbellorin thus giving a touch of exclusivity to the apartment.

Other appliances included are: A NUTID microwave (installed below the counter of the free-standing island); an IKEA RENLIG built-in dishwasher; an EVENTUELL built-in extractor hood; an IKEA LÅNGUDDEN sink and an IKEA ÄLMAREN kitchen faucet with pullout spout. These products were complemented by a stainless steel refrigerator from Fisher & Paykel as well. Rounding out the look are 50s reproduction ceiling lights from Lounge Lizard in Portland, OR, and an Astron 8” two-tone aluminum pendant over sink light from Rejuvenation.

In collaboration with the client’s architect, AR Design the layout of the kitchen was already in place. However, upon meeting the client it was clear she wanted a ‘wow’ island, symmetry in design and plenty of functional storage. As well as a contemporary, family-friendly space it was also important the space that still respected the heritage of the house. The original walls of the property had many angled walls and featured some tight spaces, so careful consideration of SieMatic's cabinetry choices was given to ensure maximum functionality in those spaces. After much consideration, The Myers Touch specified SieMatic’s SC10 Cabinetry in a Provence Oak Laminate finish which was placed in a framed-style at the rear wall. The same cabinetry was specified for under the island to create contrast with the new and original material features in the space. In order for the family to keep the kitchen uncluttered, careful planning of internal storage systems was considered in the form of using SieMatic’s internal Drawer boxes and their MultiMatic internal storage system which were used to store smaller items such as spices and sauces, as well whilst providing space for slide-out drawers and storage baskets. To ensure an elegant yet ‘wow’ factor central island, The Myers Touch combined contrasting textures by using 30mm Silestone Eternal Calacatta natural stone, polished worktops with ‘waterfall island’ edges and a Corian solid surface back panel. The distinctive geometric patterned Corian panel in Cameo White looks particularly spectacular at night when the owner's turn on the architectural-toned lighting under the island. Appliances chosen for the island included a sophisticated Elica Illusion extractor hood so it could be totally integrated in the new architectural space without visual distraction, a Siemens iQ500 Induction Hob with touch-slide control and a Caple Under-counter Wine cabinet. To maximise every inch of the new space, and to ensure the owners had a place for everything, The Myers Touch also used additional cabinetry and storage options in the island such as extra deep drawers to store saucepans, cutlery, and everyday crockery. The eye-catching Antique-bronze mirrored splashback not only helps to provide the illusion of extra space, but reinforces family ‘togetherness’ as it reflects and links the rear of the kitchen ‘snug’ area where family members can sit and relax or work when not in the main kitchen extension area. The original toned brickwork and 18th Century steel windows in the original part of the extension also helps to tell the story about the older part of the house which now juxtaposes to the new, contemporary kitchen living extension. A handy door was also included in the extension which leads to the garage on the main road for family convenience and over-flow storage.

Kitchen - mid-century modern kitchen idea in Seattle

Our client in Fraserburgh wanted a classic Shaker kitchen with a refined, timeless feel, paired with the practicality and performance of modern appliances. We were responsible for the full project, from design through to installation, managing all trades on-site to deliver a smooth process. We designed the space using the Mackintosh Painted Timber Shaker range in Sandstone, a warm, neutral shade that brings softness and versatility to the room. The traditional detailing of the Shaker cabinetry is balanced with clean lines and subtle tones, creating a kitchen that feels both elegant and homely. The work surfaces are finished in Dekton Morpheus, offering a sleek, marble-effect look with exceptional durability and easy maintenance. The kitchen is fully equipped with NEFF appliances, including a single oven with Slide & Hide® door, a combi microwave, an induction hob, an integrated extractor, and a built-in dishwasher, ensuring seamless integration of style and function. To complete the space, we added Sensio lighting for layered illumination and a Blanco 1½ bowl under-mounted sink in Tartufo. This sink is paired with a Quooker Flex tap in Stainless Steel, which provides instant boiling water with a pull-out hose. We also supplied and installed Quickstep LVT flooring, which has a durable, low-maintenance finish that beautifully ties the whole space together. Feeling inspired by this Shaker kitchen?
