Lilac Lakehouse: The Kitchen

No matter where you are, there’s one place that always feels like home: the kitchen. Whether you're flipping pancakes in your PJs or gathering around for a glass of wine at sunset, a great kitchen has a way of bringing people together—and the Lilac Lakehouse kitchen is exactly that kind of place.

With its sleek navy cabinetry, oversized quartz island, and glowing golden pendant lights, this kitchen blends cottage comfort with modern flair. But it’s not just pretty to look at. It’s also fully stocked and vacation-ready. So whether you're a seasoned foodie or a cereal-for-dinner type, you’ll find everything you need to cook, snack, or sip in style.

Design Details You'll Love

The kitchen is open, airy, and beautifully balanced. Rich navy blue cabinets pop against white shiplap walls, giving off cozy coastal vibes with a modern twist. Matte black accents—like the window frames, faucet, and vent hood—tie everything together with understated elegance.

At the centre of it all is a sprawling island with built-in sink, soft-close drawers, and enough space to prep dinner, serve drinks, or host a spontaneous board game night. Above, you’ll find striking brass pendant lights shaped like golden bursts—eye-catching and warm, especially when the sun starts to set over the lake.

Oh, and don’t forget the built-in double ovens, large stainless steel fridge, and induction cooktop tucked neatly under a seamless glass backsplash. It's efficient, it's elegant, and yes, it’s Instagram-worthy.

Here’s what you’ll find in the Lilac Lakehouse kitchen:

• Double wall ovens (perfect for holiday meals or warming pastries)
  

• Induction stovetop with sleek glass vent hood
  

• Dishwasher for stress-free clean-up
  

• Extra-large fridge & freezer with ample space for your wine, snacks, and leftovers
