Contemporary Shaker Porcelain & Green Kitchen Installation in Ravenshead

At Duffield Kitchens, we recently completed this beautiful shaker kitchen installation in Ravenshead, combining timeless porcelain cabinetry with a contrasting deep green island to create a bright, elegant and welcoming family space.

The client wanted a kitchen that felt light and open while still having personality and warmth. By combining classic shaker doors, brass detailing, patterned tiles and a bold statement island, the finished result feels both contemporary and timeless.

The large open-plan layout and vaulted ceiling allowed us to create a kitchen filled with natural light, helping the colours and textures throughout the room really stand out.

A Bright Open-Plan Kitchen Design

This Ravenshead kitchen was designed around open-plan living, with large sliding doors, roof lanterns and full-height glazing helping flood the room with natural light throughout the day.

The porcelain shaker cabinetry keeps the space feeling fresh and airy, while the deep green island introduces contrast and creates a strong centrepiece within the room.

The combination of soft neutral tones and richer colours helps create a kitchen that feels calm, balanced and inviting.

Statement Island with Seating and Wine Storage

The large central island provides generous preparation space alongside casual seating for everyday family life and entertaining.

Finished in deep green shaker cabinetry with brass cup handles and knobs, the island contrasts beautifully against the porcelain perimeter units.

Integrated wine storage within the island helps maximise functionality while maintaining the clean overall design.

Key features include:

• Porcelain shaker kitchen cabinetry

• Contrasting deep green island

• Brass handles and tap

• Quartz worktops

• Patterned feature splashback tiles

• Integrated wine cooler

• Vaulted ceiling with skylights

• Large sliding doors

• Herringbone flooring

• Glass display wall units

Patterned Tiles and Brass Accents

One of the standout design features within this kitchen is the patterned green splashback tiling.

The decorative tiles introduce colour, texture and individuality into the design while tying together the green island and brass hardware perfectly.

Brass handles, taps and lighting were carefully selected to warm the overall palette and add a more premium feel throughout the room.

The oak-effect interiors inside the glazed cabinets also help soften the brighter porcelain cabinetry and introduce natural warmth into the space.

Designed for Everyday Family Living

Although visually striking, this kitchen was designed to work just as well practically as it does aesthetically.

The layout provides plenty of usable worktop space, integrated storage and open circulation around the island.

The open-plan arrangement creates a sociable kitchen space where cooking, dining and relaxing all work seamlessly together.

Natural light was a major consideration throughout the design, helping the room feel bright and spacious all year round.
