Clean lines, a sleek and functional layout, and a harmonious blend of materials and colors characterize this modern grey kitchen designed by Nigerian furniture design company, Kitdrobe. To introduce a touch of whimsy, the designer introduced a pleasant secret.

The U-shaped layout of Kitdrobe’s modern grey kitchen is a testament to their commitment to efficient design. This arrangement ensures that every corner of the space is easily accessible and highly functional. The work triangle design promotes ease of movement and convenience, making culinary tasks straightforward and efficient, be it meal preparation or navigating the kitchen during a bustling dinner party.

The multi-function island within this modern grey kitchen serves as a versatile centerpiece. It provides space for washing and preparation and also acts as a social gathering point with seating for three at the breakfast bar. It accommodates a range of activities, from casual family breakfasts to entertaining guests. The island combines practicality with sociability in a seamless manner.

Kitdrobe’s goal to maximize storage and organization can be seen in the integration of a concealed pantry within the cabinetry system. This stand-out feature can be described as “Narnian-esque” – a nod to the magic cabinet in the Chronicles of Narnia. The concealed storage enhances the kitchen’s practicality and ensures a tidy and accessible storage solution for kitchen essentials.

Built-in appliances, including the extractor hood, oven, microwave, refrigerator, sink, and stove, are seamlessly integrated into the cabinetry. This design choice maintains a streamlined and uncluttered appearance, reflecting Kitdrobe’s commitment to a modern and unobtrusive kitchen.

The use of glass door cabinets serves a dual purpose in this design. They elegantly showcase kitchenware while offering easy access to essentials. This contemporary choice adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design.

The choice of white veined marble for both the countertops and backsplash enhances the modern aesthetic while offering durability. It’s a practical choice that not only adds a timeless elegance to the kitchen but also ensures longevity.

The kitchen is well-illuminated with a combination of recessed ceiling lights, strip lights within see-through storage, and various drop-down lights over the island. This lighting design enhances functionality and creates a well-lit environment for culinary activities.

In their approach to this modern grey kitchen, Kitdrobe combines aesthetics and functionality seamlessly. The kitchen, positioned adjacent to the living room, is accessible via wall-to-wall sliding glass doors. The designers wanted to achieve the experience of an open kitchen with the option to close it when necessary.

When closed, the kitchen is visually accessible from the living room. When the glass doors are open, an open kitchen plan is achieved. The design is a reflection of Kitdrobe’s goal to create a modern kitchen that not only impresses the eye but also caters to the needs and desires of the client.
