Alice & Nicholas’ Kitchen

A refined kitchen concept in parchment, charcoal and muted plum walls with white and gold accents.

This kitchen proposal explored the contrast between beautifully crafted timber-frame cabinetry in soft parchment and deep charcoal, creating a scheme that feels both traditional and assured.

The cabinetry is paired with elegant quartz worktops, upstands and splashbacks featuring a gentle Calacatta pattern. Continuing the quartz behind the induction hob and up to the freestanding wall extractor creates a particularly polished finish, while Stirling brass handles add a distinctive note of warmth and sophistication.

The proposed walls in Farrow & Ball Brassica No. 271 introduce a muted, greyed plum tone. Its depth gives the pale cabinetry greater presence, while complementing the charcoal island and the warm brass details. The tongue and groove panelling, generous pan drawers and pocket door breakfast station add further refinement, balancing visual character with practical considerations.

The result is a considered kitchen concept centred on material quality, elegant contrasts and a collection of statement details, from the brass hardware and sculptural pendants above the island to the pallid herringbone flooring.
