Materials and Finishes
A bold choice was made with Bestwood Melamine in Indian Ink, adding a touch of sophistication with its embossed finish, gracing the lower cabinetry and island panels. Complementing this, the upper wall cabinetry is adorned with Bestwood Melamine Southern Oak in a wilderness finish, infusing warmth and a sense of natural elegance.
Stefano Oriati Capri J drawer handles were chosen for their sleek and seamless aesthetic, offering a subtle touch that integrates effortlessly with the look of the cabinetry.
Benchtops and Island Sink
A 50mm thick TriStone in Antarctic Snow was selected for the benchtops, providing a luxurious and durable surface for daily use. The waterfall ends on both sides of the island enhancing the visual appeal and continuity of the design.
A Lazio Stainless Steel sink, under-mounted to the TriStone benchtop, serves as a functional yet stylish centrepiece. The undermounting ensures a clean and uninterrupted surface, contributing to the overall streamlined look.
Lighting and Consistent Design
LED strip lights illuminate the overhead cabinetry, adding a subtle and practical touch to the kitchen. This feature not only enhances visibility but also imparts a modern and inviting ambience to the space.
Candice Taylor applied her design expertise beyond the kitchen, gracefully extending the aesthetic, style and same materials to the walk-in pantry and laundry. This consistent design approach ties together the look of different functional spaces within the home, creating a harmonious living environment.
Conclusion
This project successfully blends sophisticated simplicity with elements that are timeless. The use of bold Indian Ink, warm Southern Oak, seamless handles, and luxurious TriStone benchtops creates a kitchen that is not only visually striking but also highly functional. The integration of LED lighting and the continuation of style into adjacent spaces demonstrate a thoughtful and cohesive design that enhances the overall living experience in this new build.
