This dated 80's kitchen is given a glam makeover

This dated 80's kitchen is given a glam makeover

Homeowners Simone and Steve updated their 1980s kitchen by removing a wall in the kitchen/dining area and integrating the indoor and outdoor areas into one big space.

The show-stopping kitchen is now chic and practical, with all the ingredients for entertaining, including a seven-metre timber stacking door that spans the width of the kitchen/dining space.

The fridge and dishwasher hide behind custom cabinetry, and a butler’s pantry makes cleaning up a cinch.

A solid oak benchtop extension on the island gives one end a distinct casual dining feel, assisted by Matt Blatt ‘Saddle’ counter stools in matching oak. A trio of ‘Sunraysia’ pendant lights in Matt White/Ash from Beacon Lighting reflects the white-meets-wood aesthetic.

Oak-look cabinetry overhead, paired with Formica ‘Deep Anthracite’ velour-finish cabinets, shelves and drawers around the oven and butler’s pantry, add a modern element to the more typical tones of the island.

"I absolutely love the Kitchen!"

Simone Homeowner
