In the most hotly contested challenge in the series to date, The Block Sky High revealed the five most spacious and luxe Freedom Kitchens ever produced on the program.
It was Trixie & Johnno who ultimately topped leader board to reign supreme, scoring an enviable 28.5 out of 30 with their clever design, appealing colour palette and great use of space.
“We are so excited to win our first challenge. The kitchen is the heart of the home and we put every effort into designing a practical layout with a colour scheme that would impress the judges and appeal to buyers,” said Trixie.
Consulting with Freedom Kitchens was key to maximising space and understanding the latest trends. “For anyone renovating on a budget, my biggest advice would be to seek advice from the professionals! They helped us with creative ideas to give the kitchen wow factor such as the island bench with extended table to create an entertainment hub.”
