“Storage was high on my agenda; I’ve discovered you can never have too many cupboards when your family is growing.”
When Nicola and John Dunlop started their home renovation project they wanted to transform their kitchen into the heart of the home.
The brief was to create a rustic, charming shaker kitchen that was family friendly. It was also essential that the shaker kitchen had a layout that allowed them keep an eye on their ever-energetic children.
The couple found their inspiration through searching on Instagram and Pinterest and adored the calming hues of grey “with elements of wood, and splashes of colour” Nicola told us. “Our designer helped us decide on the ratios of light and dark grey on the kitchen cabinets and I think it’s spot on”.
Let's us give you a closer look at the Dunlop family's rustic shaker kitchen.
Perfect range
Nicola's choice to include a Rangemaster means that it is appropriately robust for busy family life and mirrors the more classic choice of furniture and decoration.
Sleek storage
Making the most out of all the spaces by adding our beautiful corner kitchen pantry, The Lansbury from The Signature Collection. It brings a functional, sophisticated feel to this beautiful, family friendly space. We love how Nicola has personalised the pantry with own spice rack!
Personal touches
We love the personal touch brought by the patterned tile splashback which is great if you want to mix and match traditional and modern features.
