“The rich, warm tones of the stained oak provide a cozy feel, while the stone adds a touch of sophistication.”
The brief for this kitchen was to deliver an inviting environment that maximized the compact area with clean lines, a thoughtful floorplan, smart storage solutions, and a cohesive colour palette of warm earth tones. This kitchen, for a young family, is located on the second storey of their home and positioned to take full advantage of their extensive sea views.
Small metal finger-pull handles from Archant, discreet and functional, are integrated seamlessly, adding a modern touch, ensuring ease of use without detracting from the overall look. Both the benchtop and oak cabinetry fronts are durable, with the stone resistant to scratches and stains, and the gorgeously finished oak able to withstand daily use.
The contrast between the organic grain of the wood and the subtle patterns in the stone create visual interest and the tactile experience is further enriched by the smooth surface of the stone in contrast to the textured finish of the oak.
"There was an extensive amount of collaboration and trust with this client to deliver a custom-built kitchen, with the perfect blend of style and functionality, and one that they now absolutely love.”
The space is now so functional, creating the perfect balance between aesthetics and curated design. The homeowners are so grateful for the meticulous attention to detail, the build, and seamless installation, from Karen and the team at Kitchens by Design.
