New England Elegance

Inspired by the relaxed elegance of New England interiors, this bespoke kitchen brings an East Coast sensibility to an extended period home in Foxrock.

A soft, restrained palette allows the craftsmanship and materials to take centre stage. Handpainted Shaker cabinetry in Farrow & Ball Hardwick White brings warmth and quiet character to the room, complemented by architectural panelling in Strong White and a generous central island designed for everyday life.

At the heart of the scheme is Taj Mahal quartzite. Used across the worktops and carried vertically onto the splashback, its softly layered movement and warm, luminous tones introduce natural depth to the otherwise understated palette. Rather than competing with the cabinetry, the stone becomes an elegant backdrop that changes subtly with the light throughout the day.

Warm brass accents create a thread through the space. A patinated brass Quooker tap, aged brass hardware and statement lighting are echoed in the slender brass gallery rail running along the open oak shelf — a small but carefully considered detail that brings cohesion to the entire scheme.

Behind the tall cabinetry, a concealed breakfast cupboard opens to reveal a contrasting driftwood oak interior, creating both practical everyday storage and another layer of natural texture. Integrated Miele ovens and a BORA hob allow the functional elements of the kitchen to sit quietly within the overall design.

A Villeroy & Boch sink is integrated into the stone worktop, while the expansive island creates a natural gathering place between the kitchen and adjoining living area.

The result is a kitchen that feels established rather than newly imposed — light, relaxed and refined, with the warmth and character of a New England home interpreted for modern living in Dublin.
