This kitchen enjoys plenty of work- and circulation space, including a cantilevered island bench enveloped in inky Caesarstone Raven. Cabinetry in Laminex ‘Sublime Teak’ woodgrain laminate from Scribe Joinery preserves the desired minimal look.

Elegant work benches and generous central island are all topped with marble, deliver luxe texture across this entire space. Custom shaker style cabinetry throughout allows a statement-making dark and moody tone on the island cabinetry alone.

This open-plan kitchen boasts custom-made cabinetry by Wattle Valley Kitchens, finished in Dulux Fair Bianca (three-quarter strength). A low glass tiled splashback wraps around the workspaces and lines the stove recess.

Wood texture, polished concrete flooring and stainless steel appliances give a sleek finish here, with splashback tiles in charcoal tones are laid vertically and taken right up to the ceiling. Integrated cabinetry and roll-down doors hides appliances.

Pure white cabinetry with black handle details echo matte black tapware and a pair of ‘Husk’ pendant lights from Beacon Lighting. A splash of painterly colour features in the triangular tiles of the patterned splashback.
