“The original kitchen was half the size and all enclosed so we removed some walls and a small bedroom at the back of the house to open up the space and create an integrated kitchen, dining and living area. There’s now great flow inside as well as a link to the outdoor entertaining area via the stretch of bifold windows along the benchtop. The built-in entertainment system above the fridge can be heard throughout the indoor/outdoor space. A Hamptons-style design was chosen to inject some character and grandeur into an otherwise plain house. Typical of this style, we kept most cabinetry white and made a feature of the large island in a stylish blue-grey. Due to the size of the island we chose Corian for a completely seamless benchtop, which is hard or expensive to achieve at that size with many stone, marble or granite benchtops. To complete the look we also used a Corian sink. We continued the same cabinetry and feature glass cabinets in the living area to unify the whole space. While there wasn’t room for a walk-in pantry, we customised a shallow wall space next to the oven to hold the client’s collection of food canisters which she absolutely loves.”

Designer: Susan Garsden for Garsden & Clarke Kitchens & Interiors

 

Expert tip: Use Corian benchtops on large or oddly-shaped islands for a completely seamless finish.

We love: The bifold windows that link the kitchen to the outdoor entertaining area.
