When building a brand-new kitchen, imagination often takes flight and presents many possibilities. But you don’t need all the bells and whistles to make a beautiful kitchen, and this stunning project by Fresh Kitchen Solutions is testament to that.
The clients had a very clear vision for the kitchen: keep the space practical and organised, with a balance of design decorations for a touch of style. A paper towel holder, a place for utensils and a butcher’s block were high priorities.
Filled with a crisp white colour that invites natural light and space, the palette is balanced with the natural wood hues from the timber that provides a subtle bold feel. As you walk around the space, you’ll immediately notice that practicality is celebrated front and centre in this new design.
The profile of the Shaker door style is simple and elegant, allowing for a variety of mouldings and handles. Meanwhile, the mirror inserts in the display cabinet give the look of glass cabinets to break up the white, as well as providing extra storage to keep the space clean. The butcher’s block extends the length of the benchtop. Its darker tabletop contrasts perfectly with the white space while being a versatile addition to the kitchen. Use it as display or utilise its storage below.
The overall layout of the space highlights how a little design consideration makes a world of difference and convenience. The paper towel holder is placed alongside the sink and above the pull-out bins, allowing for easy use and disposal thereafter. The pull-out utensil holders are situated alongside the cooking zone, reducing the need for movement during cooking. The microwave is placed on the end of the island facing the pantry, creating easy access for the client but still being completely out of sight.
It’s this impeccable attention to detail that shows when it comes to a new kitchen design, the best ones are those that perfectly fuse classic style and practicality into one.
