The homeowners had been planning their heritage-listed Paddington home’s kitchen reno for over a year before they got in touch with Dezign Kitchens for help.
They were uncertain how to get the most out of the tricky angular kitchen space in a way that would create more storage and functionality and add to the home’s aesthetic appeal. The Dezign Kitchens team got to work, creating a kitchen that expertly blends the past and the present through a considered fusion of modern design and period features.
A complete redesign of the space was required, but it was well worth it. The homeowners were adamant they did not want the room overloaded with cabinets, but they did require plentiful storage. Clean, contemporary cabinetry was chosen to meet the brief. While they do not overwhelm, innovative design concepts, such as the lift-up corner cabinet appliance pantry, have provided much-needed storage and functionality while exuding an air of understated sophistication.
The striking Sensa stone benchtops command attention, beautifully juxtaposing the kitchen’s otherwise pared-back palette. A minimalist Pitt gas cooktop was a clever choice for this space, adding an element of modernity without detracting from the showstopping stone’s aesthetic impact. A Fisher & Paykel Integrated CoolDrawer™ was included in the kitchen, and the main fridge was moved to the pantry area. This helped keep tall cabinet lines to a minimum while not compromising on functionality.
While the positioning and size of the windows were challenging to navigate, the team focused on maximising the base cabinets’ storage capacity to keep wall cabinets to a minimum. This meant they did not detract from the room’s stunningly high ceilings. This kitchen is now an impressive fusion of old and new; a perfect balance for this charming heritage dwelling.
