For this fitted kitchen in Dublin, the client wanted a timeless classic grey kitchen with a warmer, more welcoming feel—plus better storage and a layout that works for real family life. Our job was to renovate the space into something elegant and practical, without losing the character of the home.
At the centre of this kitchen renovation is the cabinetry: Rathlin mock in-frame doors in Dust Grey. The framed look gives that classic, structured style, while the dust grey colour keeps everything calm and modern. Paired with warm timber worktops and brass handles, the result is a balanced, premium finish that won’t date.
Kitchen Layout: L-Shape + Large Social Island
We designed the kitchen around an efficient L-shaped layout along two walls, then added a generous island to anchor the open-plan space. This approach creates a natural workflow for cooking and prep, while the island becomes the everyday hub—ideal for quick breakfasts, serving, and casual seating.
Storage Improvements: Where We Gained Space
A key goal was to increase storage without making the room feel heavy. We achieved this by upgrading storage in three smart areas:
- Deep base drawers for cookware, plates, and daily essentials (more usable than shelves)
- Tall housing units to integrate appliances cleanly and add vertical storage
- Island cabinetry to absorb clutter and keep the main worktops clear
This is what makes a fitted kitchen feel truly “custom”—it looks simple, but it holds far more and stays organised.
Products & Finish: Rathlin Mock In-Frame Doors in Dust Grey
The client chose Rathlin mock in-frame doors in Dust Grey for a classic style with a refined edge. The dust grey tone works beautifully with timber surfaces, and the brass handles add a warm, traditional accent—perfect for a classic grey kitchen that still feels fresh.
