Drawing inspiration from movies and the Hamptons alike, this show-stopping kitchen by Art of Kitchens stays true to traditional Hamptons design, oozing luxury.
“Inspiration for this Hamptons-style kitchen came specifically from the stunning home in the film Something’s Gotta Give. The style is synonymous with light and bright spaces, white timber and panelled walls, wide stained-oak timber flooring (often with a sun-bleached look) and natural colours and finishes, all of which are featured in this kitchen. Recreating the look requires a fine balance of traditional and elegant design with rustic touches and luxury features. Key elements include the face frame detail around each cupboard, the ornate Kirribilli profile of the panels, and the French door glass cabinets. Together with the subway tiles, proud kickboards and cornices, and rustic light-blue hand-painted timber panelling of the open shelving (which also continues inside all the cupboards), the look is solid, opulent and authentic. The level of detail includes the Mother of Pearl handles and proud mounted hinges, added to recreate the look, while Blum soft-close internal hardware provides ease of use. The 1200mm-wide freestanding oven and French door fridge inject luxury into the space, along with the Lightening Brown marble with a traditional ogee edge detail. The original polished slab was honed, which gives it a more natural matt look that works in beautifully with the timber floor, and also makes it less susceptible to scratches and stains.”
