AKL Designer Kitchens take the splashback all the way up and across the wall behind the rangehood canopy to make the cooktop area an impressive focal point of the space.
“This kitchen renovation is in a large farmhouse and the brief was for a modern, yet timeless and high-end version of your traditional farmhouse kitchen. This has been achieved by using a modern Shaker-style cabinet with simple square lines while the handles provide a more classic touch. The cooktop area is typically the focal point of a farmhouse kitchen and that has been achieved here by placing the large stainless-steel rangehood canopy against the impressive backdrop of the Cosmic Black granite that fills the whole splashback area up to the bulkhead. It would not have looked anywhere near as impressive if the splashback was only standard height. A large island bench was important to the client and the thick granite benchtop and waterfall really makes it stand out. There is great symmetry as the size of the island matches the width of cooktop splashback along with matching cabinets on each side. These bi-fold doors house the pantry on one side and small appliances on the other while the microwave has been cleverly hidden on the back of the island bench.”
