Keen to update the dark, timber-style kitchen with a black granite benchtop that previously occupied this space, the homeowners approached Nobby Kitchens for a bright, modern upgrade. The former island was far too angular, and the raised servery made the room feel quite small. Fixing this during the renovation was high on the homeowners’ priority list.
They were after a forever kitchen, one in which they could share long family meals and entertain guests. They requested a two-tone kitchen and personally chose the timber colour that appears on the cabinets, hero lighting and rangehood canopy. They loved the look of Silestone in Ethereal Glow, so this was selected for the splashback behind the rangehood, as well as the island.
This kitchen’s new island is made for entertaining – it’s nearly 3m long, around 1.5m deep, and boasts plenty of bench space and extra seating. There’s also a bar fridge at the side of the island, making topping up drinks during dinner parties a piece of cake.
This kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. There’s plentiful storage, including a dedicated appliance cabinet, push-to-open cabinetry at the back of the island, Blum soft-close drawers, and tall cabinetry with inner drawers. With so much storage space, keeping this kitchen sleek and uncluttered is incredibly simple. This entertainer’s dream was exactly what the homeowners were after to elevate their home life and dinner parties.
