The first thing you notice is the light ceramic worktop cutting across the room, set against oak fronts and a dark wall surface. This living kitchen reads as one long working line, but the large glass partition with black steel opens it up to the rest of the interior. The integrated sink area sits cleanly in the centre of the run, while pendant lights and recessed spots mark out the places where the room is used most.

Oak fronts and a clear working line

The custom kitchen fronts are built in oak veneer with a worn stain and a fine groove in the flat door. That detail gives the cabinetry a measured rhythm, especially along the tall units where the built-in appliances are set into the wood. Instead of breaking the run into many separate parts, the joinery keeps the line low and direct. The result is a modern living kitchen that feels made around its own proportions, not around decoration.

Across the lower cabinets, the oak and ceramic kitchen pairing sets the tone. The wood brings grain and depth; the ceramic countertop keeps the surface visually light. The edge is left without a raised finish, so the worktop meets the cabinetry with a sharp profile. That makes the sink area read almost like part of the architecture rather than a separate fitting.

A ceramic countertop with room to work

The ceramic countertop is finished in Stucco Light Honed, a pale grey that softens the darker wall finish nearby. In the images, the integrated sink area sits flush within that surface, with a black tap placed just off centre. It is a practical detail, but it also anchors the whole composition: light plane above, darker mass behind, oak below. The countertop stretches far enough to hold everyday use without crowding the rest of the room.

Because the kitchen is arranged like a spacious living kitchen, the working zone can stay open and readable. The island-like section gives the room a central task area without closing it off. From the side, the ceramic surface catches the light from the large glazing, while the darker wall behind it absorbs it. That contrast keeps the room from becoming flat, even when the cabinets and worktop are viewed straight on.

Dark wall finish and built-in functions

Behind the main run, the wall has a beton-cire or plaster-like finish in a deep tone. It sits close to the cabinetry and makes the white-grey ceramic look even lighter. In the same zone, built-in appliances are lined up within the oak composition: oven, compact oven with microwave function, warming drawer, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and extractor unit. The wine cooler is also integrated into the kitchen, visible as a glazed niche between the wooden fronts.

The appliance layout stays visually quiet because most of it is framed by the joinery. A five-zone induction hob is part of the work area, and the black boiling-water tap sits at the sink. Those black accents repeat the steel in the glazing and the tap, tying together the most functional points in the room. Nothing is pushed forward; the fittings sit where the work naturally happens.

Black steel glazing and a room that stays open

The large glass partition with black steel changes how the kitchen is read. It brings a hard line into the room and makes the boundary between inside and outside feel precise, even though the page is focused on the interior. Through that glazing, daylight lands across the ceramic top and the oak fronts. In the wide views, the black frame becomes a graphic edge that holds the kitchen composition in place.

That opening also explains why the room feels so expansive. The kitchen does not rely on loose furniture or extra objects to fill space. Instead, it uses long horizontal surfaces, a high glazed opening and a restrained palette. The oak fronts, pale worktop and dark wall finish keep the eye moving from one material to another without losing the plan of the room.

Light above the work zone

Pendant lights hang over the central part of the kitchen, while recessed ceiling spots wash the darker wall and the working surfaces. The fittings are modest in shape, but they mark the different zones clearly. The hanging lights gather attention over the middle of the room; the ceiling spots bring out the texture of the wall finish and the grain in the oak fronts. Together they make the kitchen legible at night without adding visual noise.

The lighting also reveals how the living kitchen is organised. The centre remains open, the work line stays fixed against the wall, and the glass partition brings in another plane of light. In that setting, the custom kitchen reads as a set of precise surfaces: oak, ceramic, glass and steel. Each one does a different job, and none of them has to overstate it.

Details that keep the room grounded

The sink area, black tap and ceramic top form the most direct working sequence in the room. Around them, the oak fronts carry the storage and the built-in appliances, while the darker wall plane pulls the composition back. The wine cooler, set into its own niche, is one of the few places where glass and wood meet in a small, focused frame. It is a simple move, but it gives the room a clear point of pause.

Seen as a whole, this spacious living kitchen depends on measured contrasts rather than contrast for effect. Light ceramic sits beside dark wall finish. Oak grain sits beside black steel. The result is a modern living kitchen that remains easy to read from every angle, whether you are standing by the sink area, looking toward the glazing, or following the line of the built-in units along the wall.
