A classy traditional blue and white kitchen

Set against a splashback of ‘Manual’ tiles in Ocean, found at Southside Tile, is an Ilve freestanding cooker in Midnight Blue with matching rangehood. The cooker, made to order in Italy, took three months to arrive. An understated Abey ‘Barazza Cubo’ sink and ‘Neu England’ tap from Brodware allow the appliances to take centre stage. The cantilevred benchtop, in engineered ‘Bianco Spizzio’ stone from Trend Superior Surfaces, shelters a feeding station for the family dog. 

Thermo-laminated Form-Tek ‘Winmalee’ cabinetry in Off-White with ‘Waratah’ panelled doors lend a traditional feel to this inviting kitchen, with a pair of handsome, marine-style Emac & Lawton ‘Ace’ chrome pendants over the bench adding to the nautical edge.

Dry goods storage is supplied by large cupboards at the rear of the kitchen, with an integrated fridge and freezer nearby. Extra-wide European oak veneer floors in Chocolate from Timberland complete the well-thought-out design, adding warmth and texture.
