For Kate and Rich in Pedmore, the goal was simple. A bigger kitchen with more room to enjoy everyday life. With a new extension providing the extra space, The Gallery Fitted Kitchens created a contemporary design that feels both bold and beautifully balanced.
Deep forest green cabinetry, warm Casella oak and crisp quartz surfaces set the tone. Clean lines and handleless detailing give the kitchen a confident, modern finish.
A bigger kitchen designed around everyday living
The extension created the opportunity for a more generous kitchen layout. Somewhere that could feel spacious and welcoming, without compromising on practical features.
Kate and Rich chose a handleless design to keep the cabinetry sleek and uninterrupted. The rich forest green brings depth and character, while Casella oak wall units introduce a warmer, more natural texture.
Together, the two finishes create a striking contrast. Contemporary in style, but with a softness that makes the space feel inviting.
A statement island with waterfall quartz detailing
One of the standout features is the kitchen island, finished in Blanco Misterio quartz.
The quartz continues down the ends of the island with beautifully mitred waterfall panels. This creates a seamless, architectural look that gives the design an extra touch of luxury.
Blanco Misterio quartz also provides a crisp contrast against the darker cabinetry. Its subtle pattern adds interest without overwhelming the space.
The result is a statement feature that feels refined rather than overstated.
Contemporary finishes and integrated appliances
- The handleless cabinetry is complemented by a carefully selected range of fittings and appliances.
- A matt black Quooker tap adds a sharp, contemporary detail alongside the undermount sink. Its minimalist finish works particularly well against the lighter quartz worktop.
- NEFFappliances complete the kitchen specification, bringing modern cooking technology into the design.
Each element has been chosen to maintain the clean overall aesthetic, while keeping the kitchen practical for daily use.
Natural textures and considered lighting
Parquet oak flooring brings another layer of warmth to the scheme. Its natural grain and distinctive pattern work beautifully with the Casella oak wall units.
The flooring also softens the deep forest green cabinetry, helping to balance the richer colours throughout the room.
Recessed under-cabinet lighting adds the finishing touch. It provides practical illumination across the work surfaces, while introducing a subtle glow that highlights the cabinetry and materials.
A contemporary fitted kitchen in Pedmore
Kate and Rich’s finished kitchen shows just how much a carefully considered extension can transform a home.
The combination of forest green cabinetry, natural oak finishes and waterfall quartz detailing creates a space with real personality. Every element feels connected, from the handleless units to the parquet flooring.
For The Gallery, it’s another example of how thoughtful kitchen design can bring together strong visual character and everyday functionality.
A bigger kitchen, a bolder look, and a beautifully finished space designed to be enjoyed for years to come.
What colours work well in a modern handleless kitchen?
Deep forest green works beautifully with natural wood finishes and lighter worktops. In this Stourbridge kitchen, the dark green cabinetry is balanced with Casella oak wall units, Blanco Misterio quartz and parquet oak flooring.
What is a waterfall kitchen island?
A waterfall island features a worktop surface that continues vertically down one or both ends. For this project, Blanco Misterio quartz was used with precision mitred joints, creating a seamless and architectural finish.
What appliances and fittings were chosen for this kitchen?
The kitchen features NEFF appliances, a matt black Quooker tap and an undermount sink. Recessed under-cabinet lighting adds practical task lighting while maintaining the sleek, handleless design.
