Transforming an outdated kitchen into a functional and visually appealing space requires thoughtful planning and attention to detail. In this renovation, the homeowners wanted to replace their existing vinyl doors and stone benchtops with a more cohesive and practical design while introducing key upgrades tailored to their lifestyle.
One of the primary changes was aligning the farmhouse-style sink with the centre of the window, creating a balanced and aesthetically pleasing focal point. The redesign also improved accessibility to the corner cabinets, ensuring that every part of the kitchen is both beautiful and functional.
The kitchen is designed around large ovens, a farmhouse sink, and glass-door bar fridges, catering to both everyday cooking and entertaining needs. The rangehood canopy and overhead cabinets were extended to the ceiling, working with the bulkhead. To further enhance the classic charm, Federation-style cornices and decorative corbels around the rangehood add a distinctive character to the space.
A key element selected in this transformation is the use of Staron® Solid Surfaces in Collina Urbanity. Known for its seamless and non-porous properties, Staron was integrated into the benchtops, with routed drainers near the sink for both practicality and a clean aesthetic. Unlike traditional stone, Staron offers a smooth, warm to the touch surface that is hygienic easy to maintain and more comfortable to use in daily kitchen tasks.
The herringbone tiles introduce a soft textured feature, while the mint green walls create a fresh and inviting backdrop, harmonising beautifully with the limed white satin-finish shaker doors. Tying everything together, the warmth of the timber flooring grounds the space, adding natural texture and a welcoming feel.
