Shaker Forest | Thyme | Grain

Interior stylist Lauren, also known as @the_cubby_hole on Instagram, opted for natural colours and our classic Shaker Forest cabinetry to bring a Country feel to the heart of her home.

This modern-tone kitchen uses the soothing shade of Thyme to introduce earthy green tones into the country-style kitchen. To brighten the space, wall cabinets are splashed in striking Polar, which creates a perfect calming balance.

A U-shaped layout has maximised space and storage, providing Lauren with the perfect backdrop to get creative and show off her flair for interiors. Creating a real focal point is the peninsula breakfast bar which separates the cooking space from the dining area and allows Lauren to comfortably socialise whilst using her kitchen.

To achieve a minimalistic look, clever storage solutions have been incorporated into the design to leave worktops clutter-free. Hidden in the breakfast bar is a magic corner unit providing oodles of extra storage space to neatly house crockery and tableware. Pull-out drawers sit on either side of the integrated oven to keep cookware hidden away and the cooking space uninterrupted.

Focused on recreating the desirable Country kitchen aesthetic, Lauren chose a Bosch gas burner hob and traditional double Bora Belfast sink. For a sense of continuity in style, she also included a Bosch integrated single oven and canopy hood.

To continue the country aesthetic, Lauren has accessorised the space with natural wooden bar stools, rustic open shelving and neutral décor. Antique brass hardware provides a sense of warmth within the open-plan design.
