grey & oak contemporary kitchen in ashtead
Farquhar Kitchen Case Study
a stunning open-plan kitchen and utility designed as part of a whole house renovation
We used handleless cabinetry in Bronze Gold Slate and Natural Halifax Oak — a pairing that brings depth, texture, and warmth to the design. The dramatic dark grey tones are beautifully balanced by the natural grain of oak, creating a luxurious and inviting look while giving the kitchen a bold, contemporary character.
a contemporary kitchen with striking contrasts
bold finishes and natural textures define this sophisticated scheme
We used handleless cabinetry in Bronze Gold Slate and Natural Halifax Oak, a pairing that brings depth, texture, and warmth to the design. The dramatic dark grey tones are beautifully balanced by the natural grain of oak, creating a look that feels both luxurious and inviting, while giving the kitchen a bold, contemporary character.
all in the details
To complement the cabinetry, we used a mix of Laurent Dekton and Lucern Lake Quartz. The Dekton provides a bold, marble-inspired finish that adds drama to the design, while the quartz brings brightness and durability, ensuring the space works beautifully for everyday life.
Siemens appliances feature throughout, including StudioLine ovens and a vacuum drawer, offering cutting-edge performance for cooking enthusiasts. A Caple wine cooler was also integrated, adding both convenience and a touch of luxury.
Practicality meets innovation with a Blanco sink and the Choice Icona 5-in-1 tap, providing filtered, boiling, chilled, and sparkling water at the touch of a button. Pop-up sockets and discreet storage details ensure the kitchen remains clutter-free and highly functional.
the final space
This project achieves the perfect balance of elegance and practicality. With its striking material contrasts, advanced appliances, and thoughtfully designed utility space, the kitchen is suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. It stands as one of our favourite transformations — bold, modern, and built to last.
