The warmth of wood is
matched with the cool of
stainless in this kitchen
by RH Cabinetmakers
Trendy designer kitchen surfaces come
and go but the natural appeal of wood and
stainless steel will never fall from grace.
The two classic surfaces come together
in this kitchen – a collaboration between
the owner and RH Cabinetmakers.
Managing director Rob Hendrickx
says the owners wanted a modern, highfunction family kitchen with clean lines.
“There are several contrasting elements
that draw the design together,” he says.
“For example, the contrast of the white
and stainless with the solid wood brings
warmth while the matt oak and satin paint
finishes play off the shinier stainless steel.
“Plus drawers on the bank of stainless
cabinets are in brushed stainless steel – set
against the stainless steel top and upstand.
The recessed handles break up the drawer
front surface, adding understated detail.
“Blum hardware underpins the design
– from its soft-close drawer mechanisms
to lift-up Aventos bi-folding hardware.”
RH Cabinetmakers works closely with
architects, interior designers, specifiers
or homeowners to ensure it achieves the
best possible outcome for a project. Solid,
hand-crafted woodworking skills are the
secret to the company’s broad appeal.
