This lakeside luxury kitchen is a striking example of how elegance and functionality can coexist seamlessly. Designed and built by Atlantis Kitchens, it centres on a bespoke in‑frame timber shaker design painted in deep pitch black with pointing—a bold yet timeless finish that anchors the room with confidence. The space is not just beautiful, it is built to perform, with every detail conceived to serve how people really live.
The style carefully balances strong, dramatic tones with natural warmth. The in‑frame shaker cabinetry delivers a classic proportion and detail, yet the dark paint gives it a modern, moody edge. Feature square corner posts and open book shelving soften the visual weight and bring subtle texture and depth. Glass‑front display cabinets and a mantel over the AGA with a plate shelf inject character and visual interest.

Set against the calm of the lakeside, this kitchen was created as a true retreat at the heart of the home. Somewhere to cook, connect and enjoy life’s quieter moments in style.
In finishes and features this kitchen stands apart. The worktops, matching upstand and window sill in Diore Verona White create a crisp, luminous contrast to the dark cabinetry. Natural oak drawer boxes, oak cutlery dividers and internal oak pull‑outs add warmth and tactility. LED strip lighting emphasises the clean lines and highlights display elements.
Stored behind the scenes, there is a fully hidden walk‑in pantry, deep pan drawers, a Le‑Mans corner pull‑out, and a tall utility unit with internal pull‑outs. The sink is a Franke Maris, paired with a Quooker Fusion tap in black, marrying form and function. Appliance selection is premium, with Elica and an AGA centrepiece that blends striking presence with serious cooking utility.
