Dark-stained oak veneer contrasts gleaming white surfaces to a make a bold visual statement in this new kitchen by Arcadia Joinery.

To this end, Arcadia Joinery designed a galley-style kitchen with a scullery, a long island, and overhead cabinets in dark-stained oak veneer.  A tall bank of cabinets housing the oven tower, pantry and refrigerator is gloss lacquered in white, with a buffed finish, and  framed with a dark-stained trunk veneer scriber panel.  This helps to define the kitchen within the large, open-plan living space.

The clean-lined look is enhanced by invisible handles. These are mounted onto the carcass behind the doors, which can be opened by narrow recessed pulls.

Benchtops, including the waterfall island top, are white engineered stone, chosen to  match  the  cabinets.  These feature high-quality German hardware.

Facing page, top and above left: A two-tone colour palette brings a touch of drama to this new kitchen, which was designed, manufactured and installed by Arcadia Joinery. The cabinets are a mix of crown cut, dark-stained oak veneer and white gloss lacquer with a buffed finish. Dark-stained timber veneer also frames the tall bank of white cabinets that houses the oven tower, pantry and refrigerator.
