An Award-Winning
Matt Black Kitchen Collaboration
Redefining Contemporary Living in Cornwall
With a Matt Black Kitchen Design
An exceptional showcase of design flair, this open-plan matt black kitchen and living space design is a true testament to the exceptional vision of R Sincock & Son Builders. The striking matt black kitchen finish, expertly designed and bought to life by Now Kitchens, helps to transform this contemporary living space design into the ultimate showstopper. A collaboration of luxury between R Sincock & Son builders and Now Kitchens, it's easy to see why this kitchen has picked up the Siemens StudioLine Kitchen Design of the Year award for 2024. Set against the stunning backdrop of Cornwall’s coastline, this black kitchen renovation project was crafted to be the perfect fusion of style, innovation, and practicality. The client, a passionate home cook and gracious host, briefed us to design a luxurious and contemporary kitchen that seamlessly blended aesthetic elegance with cutting-edge functionality and their vision was clear. We were to design a sophisticated cooking space that would complement the rooms palette composition, whilst bringing a cohesive and harmonious feel. Through achieving the customers vision, this kitchen by Now would cater to both their culinary passion and their love for hosting gatherings.
A truly bespoke transformation, the expertise of R Sincock & Son Builders meant there were minimal challenges when it came to moving the kitchen to the opposite end of the open-plan living area. Not only were they able to fulfil the customers dream of breathtaking coastal kitchens views, but they were able to facilitate the repositioning of services and utilities for optimum design impact.
A minimalist yet bold aesthetic was essential, with sleek lines, moody tones, and luxurious textures to complement the customers palette composition. The clients envisioned a palette that combined dark wood tones with striking brass details, complemented by sleek modern appliances. Working with German manufacturer Hacker, we were able to source custom black wood grain doors and integrated brass handle rails to create their dream look. To elevate the design further, we selected beautiful oak ‘reeded’ handleless doors for the sink and island areas, maintaining the kitchen’s clean lines and elegant aesthetic.
The layout was equally important, as the kitchen had to accommodate the client’s love for entertaining, cooking and socialising, whilst being able to take in the stunning coastal view. The space was carefully organised into distinct zones for cooking, prep, and dining, all while flowing harmoniously with the adjacent living areas. Ample storage solutions were integrated to ensure a clutter-free environment, with a hidden pantry and compartments for less frequently used items and easily accessible spaces for everyday essentials.

Luxurious Matt Black Kitchen Design Overview
When it came to kitchen materials, the design choices were simple: premium appliances, luxurious textures and elegant details which would offer both style and durability. The dramatic polished worktop perfectly complements the kitchens bold design, offering an elegant yet highly practical finish. The matt and reeded cabinetry further enhanced the kitchen’s sophisticated look, while ensuring that the space remained low-maintenance and enduring.
To support their lifestyle, the client requested a state-of-the-art appliance suite. Smart connectivity, energy efficiency, and cooking precision were central to their vision. We specified Siemens’ exclusive StudioLine range, which offered the perfect balance of stunning design and high functionality. The sleek induction hob, paired with the GlassDraft Air extractor, forms the centrepiece of the kitchen, while also acting as a functional barrier between the cooking zone and the island seating. For ultimate convenience, a black Quooker tap provides a clutter-free boiling water solution, alongside a black composite sink and waste disposal system.
The kitchen was also equipped to handle large family gatherings, with an oven capable of accommodating big meals, a full steam cooking system, and a bean-to-cup coffee station to keep guests refreshed. Ample cold and frozen storage and a quiet, efficient dishwasher that dries Tupperware ensure that no detail was overlooked in creating a space designed to serve the client’s needs for years to come.
This Cornish kitchen is more than just a place to cook—it’s a luxurious, modern space that blends seamless design with state-of-the-art technology, all while showcasing the beauty of its coastal surroundings.
