Case Study: Premium Shaker Kitchen Transformation in Drayton, Norwich
At Atlantic Bathrooms & Kitchens, we take pride in delivering exceptional kitchen refurbishments tailored to our local community in Norwich. Our recent project in Drayton is a testament to our high standards and dedication to quality.
Project Overview: This kitchen renovation features a classic Shaker style kitchen made from Ash timber, painted in a sophisticated Dust Grey. The cabinetry, fitted with chrome-plated knobs and cup handles, provides a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic, maximizing both functionality and storage space. The space is an elegant, open-plan kitchen and dining area, bright and airy, serving as a central hub for a busy family.
Premium Appliances and Fixtures: We integrated top-tier appliances to enhance the kitchen's functionality and style:
Samsung French Door Refrigerator: Offers ample storage with a sophisticated stainless steel finish.
Two Neff Single Ovens and Neff Compact Microwave Oven: Perfectly suited for a larger family, providing versatility and efficiency in cooking.
Neff Induction Hob: Delivers efficient cooking performance, seamlessly integrated into the countertop.
Neff Integrated Dishwasher: Provides convenient and efficient dishwashing capabilities, discreetly integrated into the cabinetry.
Neff Wall Extractor Hood: Ensures effective ventilation while seamlessly blending into the kitchen's design.
Thoughtful Design Elements: Several key features were thoughtfully included:
Quartz Countertops: Durable and elegant, with a raised upstand extending to the windowsill and a custom quartz windowsill for a seamless look. We also fitted a quartz splashback behind the hob for added style and easy maintenance.
Inset Ceramic Sink with Mixer Tap: Classic design that combines practicality with style.
USB Power Socket: Carefully planned and incorporated into the end of the peninsula, offering convenient charging options without disrupting the design.
Decorative Pendant Lighting and Ambient Task Lighting: Stylish pendant lights with exposed filament bulbs placed above the peninsula serve as a focal point, while ambient and task lighting ensure functionality and a warm atmosphere.
Custom Details: To personalize the space, custom shelving was added for displaying decorative items and plants, reflecting the client’s style. Additionally, a bespoke open unit above the fridge freezer was designed to incorporate wine storage and a Sonos Beam speaker, combining practicality with style. The warm Karndean Design flooring complements the grey cabinetry, tying the room together beautifully.
Furthermore, the skirting and architrave were custom painted to match the kitchen furniture throughout the space, ensuring a cohesive and harmonious aesthetic. Additionally, a bespoke shallow depth unit was strategically designed to sit in front of the soil vent pipe boxing on the sink run, maximizing space utilization without compromising functionality or design.
Breakfast Bar and Peninsula: A significant design feature requested by the client was a breakfast bar area where seating is available on both sides of the peninsula. This allows for easy communication with friends and family when entertaining, making the kitchen a social hub.
Client-Centered Approach: As a family-run business, we worked closely with the client, ensuring every detail met their expectations. Our conscientious approach and attention to detail resulted in a kitchen that is visually stunning and highly functional, perfectly tailored to the client's needs.
