By the seaside in West Sussex, a timeless kitchen transformation showcases just how beautifully classic design can meet modern living. These coastal kitchens are a celebration of contrast, craftsmanship, and carefully considered detail and of course, shaker doors play a starring role.
In the first of our two case studies, the upper cupboards are finished in a soft eggshell white, perfectly complementing the marbled granite that spans both the worktop and the extended splashback. This gentle pairing offers a crisp yet calm feel, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of the sea breeze.
Below the worktop, things take a subtle turn: shaker doors in a light pearl ash grey offer a clean contrast, grounding the space and adding depth. It's a colour pairing that feels both fresh and refined.
Above the sink, double shaker doors feature beautifully meshed glazing, a decorative flourish that adds texture, interest, and just the right hint of vintage charm.
Antique brass handles and knobs complete the look across all shakers and drawers.
The transformation continued into the utility room, designed with the same care and attention to detail. Robust shaker cabinetry in a soft grey finish provides generous storage, while a durable worktop ensures functionality for daily tasks. Subtle design touches, from the warm brass hardware to the thoughtful layout tie the space seamlessly back to the kitchen.
