The Daulphine Kitchen

Farmhouse Kitchens

Nestled near the Laurentian countryside, Blainville evokes a slower pace, far from the hustle and bustle of a big metropolis. Here, one family chose to settle down to build their haven, a space that gracefully balances light, designed to last.

At the heart of this project is the kitchen that seamlessly merges influences from European classic Parisian apartments, the authenticity of Farmhouse chic and the fluidity of contemporary interiors.

The proportions are generous, while the materials have been carefully chosen. They are reminiscent of Haussmann-style apartments, where natural light and openness promote tranquility and timeless elegance. The soft, muted colour palette creates a soothing, enveloping atmosphere with minimalist sleek lines and subtly integrated brass.

A kitchen where light sculpts materials

As soon as you enter this home, you’re struck by the clarity that seems to amplify every detail, reflected by natural light throughout the place. Expansive black windows frame the Laurentian landscape, creating a harmonious connection between indoors and out.

Cabinets from Ateliers Jacob’s Laque collection in “Brilliant White” amplifiy the spaciousness of the room, while the “Desert” colour grounds the space, adding warmth and subtle depth. Brass handles provide delicate accents, softly recalling classic kitchens, while preserving balance and modernity.

The island, a space that brings people together

A glass of wine is casually set down as you talk about your day. In the morning’s quiet moments, you linger with sleepy eyes, hands wrapped around a warm mug. More than a central element, the island is a comforting focal point.

The white quartz countertop contrasts with Ateliers Jacob’s panels in “Desert” colour, whose matte finish gently absorbs the light, reinforcing the effect of depth. The X-shaped panels at the ends are a subtle reference to the Farmhouse chic style, in a refined, minimalist interpretation.

Nearby, gently curved beige velvet stools, softly enveloping, subtly highlight their brushed brass legs, delicately catching and reflecting the ambient light. An invitation to pause and savour the moment.

The glass cellar, combining subtlety and elegance

To the left, a glass wine cellar grabs your attention with its refined simplicity. Its sleek design showcases bottles carefully aligned on black supports that seem to float in the air.

Rather than separating spaces, the cellar creates a graceful transition from the kitchen to the dining room, unifying preparation and enjoyment.

A space to slow down

Under a large kitchen window that catches the morning light, a dining area emerges as if always meant to be there. A built-in bench adorned with neutral linen cushions meets a round table with a sculptural central leg.

Historically, banquettes were a staple in European and North American farmhouses, maximizing seating and functionality. Evolving through cafés and bistros, they reappear now in a contemporary form of furniture that is practical yet minimalist.

Today, the banquette is making a comeback for the same reasons: it optimizes layout, facilitates circulation and encourages relaxation. This bench seat structures the space without enclosing it, offering a feeling of enveloping comfort and encouraging unhurried, relaxed gatherings.
