A Fresh Take on Storage
Gone are the days where you need to reach to the back of your cabinets to find what you are looking for. Drawers provide easy access to just about anything.
Appliances Matter
An often overlooked factor when designing a kitchen is the importance of appliances. Think about every appliance before settling on a layout.
Mixers to Match
Choosing mixers that compliment your cabinetry is super important. Nothing brings a space together better than carefully considered fixtures.
Add a pop of colour to your monochromatic space with accessories. In the kitchen this is easily achieved by selecting small appliances in vibrant colours. Adding colour to a room creates points of interest directing the eye to view the room from various perspectives… when done well it has a huge impact!
Modern storage solutions come in many shapes and sizes, such as drawers within drawers, making it easy for you to keep your kitchen free from clutter.
Have an open mind when consulting with your kitchen designer. An experienced designer will offer up great suggestions. However, it is your space and you know how you will live and work in it, so don’t be afraid to speak up about what will make your life easier.
Design elements in the kitchen need not be purely functional. A reflective splashback creates interest by mirroring the open-plan living space and in this instance the view of the cityscape below.
Lighting is super important! Ambient, mood and task lighting should all be considered. Strip lighting beneath wall cabinets allows for working on countertops without casting shadows.
