This Bristol family kitchen balances warm tones with natural texture with contemporary Natural Oak V-Groove and FENIX® Rosso Namib fronts and a considered layout.

Designed in collaboration with Barefoot Architects, this kitchen pairs the rich, earthy tone of FENIX® Rosso Namib with soft natural oak detailing to create a space that feels both playful and refined. The bold cabinetry is balanced by V-Groove Natural Oak units, exposed ply edges and pale Dekton Albarium worktops, bringing warmth and texture into the otherwise minimal architectural setting. Large sliding doors and open shelving help the space feel bright, relaxed and connected to the rest of the home.

Bespoke add-ons, such as a built-in wine rack and chopping board nook, elevate this IKEA kitchen into something that feels truly unique.

Built on IKEA cabinetry as a base, the kitchen combines practical functionality with carefully resolved HUSK Bespoke details that work for everyday family life.

Integrated scallop handles with exposed ply edges add subtle craftsmanship throughout, while the oak island panelling and dining-side storage help soften the strong geometry of the layout. The result is a calm, functional family kitchen where bold colour, natural materials and thoughtful detailing work together effortlessly.
