Presented with a blank canvas to work their magic, the Nobby Kitchens design team were tasked with creating a modern, functional space. The kitchen serves as a thoroughfare to other parts of the home, so it needed to facilitate (and withstand) high foot traffic.
With this in mind, the team focused on a marriage of form and function, with a splash of nature-inspired aesthetic. They opted to place the show-stopping island right in the middle of the space. Given its hero status, the team took great care with its design. They combined some seating on one side, storage solutions on the other, and integrated the curved edges to soften its appearance per the homeowner’s suggestion.
Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, complete with a fridge and appliance cupboard, were placed against one wall. More cabinetry and a workstation including a sink, tap and cooktop appears against the other wall.
There’s plenty of natural light available when cooking and prepping meals during daylight hours thanks to the large window just above the sink. While the view of the greenery outside is delightful, the design team has done an exceptional job of bringing a little of the outside into the kitchen through natural brown and green hues. Laminex Spinifex was chosen for the main cabinetry, Polytec Florentine Walnut appears on the cabinetry on the opposite wall, and Sentio Dune appears on the benchtops for a touch of luxury.
With style and functionality like this, it’s no surprise this kitchen is the beating heart of the home.
