This kitchen was created to sit beautifully within a bright open living space, where cooking, dining and relaxing all happen in one connected setting. The design brings together rich timber tones, deep matt cabinetry and warm lighting to form a room that feels calm, welcoming and carefully considered.
Every element was planned to balance visual impact with everyday practicality. From the curved breakfast bar to the layered lighting and hidden storage, the space offers comfort, function and a strong sense of character and creativity.
Look out for
- Novus Handleless Super Matt Jet and Wenge cabinetry with Brushed Brass trim

This is a handleless, contemporary kitchen that pairs dark dramatic surfaces with warm natural materials to produce a striking yet inviting space.
The cabinetry from the Novus handleless range in Super Matt Jet sits alongside Walnut finishes to create depth and contrast across the room. Laminam Noir Desoir worktops and splashback add a subtle veined texture that runs across the preparation and cooking area, giving the scheme a refined and consistent look. A bespoke curved wooden breakfast bar softens the overall layout and forms a sociable seating space that connects the kitchen with the wider living area.
Practical details were just as important as the overall appearance. Neff appliances are integrated neatly within the tall cabinetry while deep drawers offer generous storage for cookware. A pull out spice rack sits close to the cooking area for easy access, while a wine cooler keeps bottles ready for entertaining. Brushed brass trim, a Kaelo in counter bottle cooler with brushed brass crown and discreet LED strip lighting add warmth and detail throughout the space.
Designed by Daniel Cafferty, this handleless contemporary kitchen in Cumbria brings together bold materials, warm timber and a striking curved island. It reflects how we design kitchens that feel personal, practical and beautifully considered.
