The kitchen is the heart and hub of the home and choosing the right kitchen finishes will make all the difference of how the space functions and looks. The kitchen is the place for family and friends to gather together for meals, conversations and great entertainment. A kitchen is what makes a house a home.

We worked alongside our clients, a young couple from North Ryde to create a stunning classic white kitchen in the contemporary interior design style.
Contemporary interior design: refers to interior styles developed in the latter half of the 20th century. It’s colour palette consisting of browns, taupe, cream, and pure white.
The classic white kitchen design is popular but can be differentiated and varied. The main goal is to be timeless, smooth and fresh. White cabinetry, fair stone tops, and sleek flooring help to bring the design to life.
The Kitchen Finishes selected
The Benchtop
In this kitchen we selected a Caesarstone quartz stone that emulates the look of marble Calacatta. This is the main feature of the entire kitchen. The waterfall, which is the continued stone down the sides of the island, adds a huge sense of luxury to the entire room.
Splashback and Tiles
Our clients chose a glass splashback as one of their kitchen finishes. It reflects the beautiful and rich cappuccino

Cabinetry
The cabinetry kitchen finishes are very sleek, modern and contemporary in design and layout. The polyurethane cupboards, shelves and drawers are finished in the Dulux colour “ghosting”. No handles are included in this design as to cohesively stay in touch with the minimalist contemporary style.
A bulkhead is a great kitchen finish that is both functional and aesthetic. Hence, no dust, dirt or grime will be collected in the spare space, leaving your kitchen beautiful and clean. A bulkhead enhances the scale of the kitchen visually as it goes right to the ceiling filling all the space drawing the eye up to the ceiling.
Our clients chose a canopy rangehood for this kitchen design, as well as an inbuilt wall oven.
Tapware
When it was about choosing the taps, our clients preferred a classic chrome tapware. They look modern and sleek as well as being easy to clean so your kitchen always looks polished and luxurious. On the island bench, a zip tap provides instant boiling water; this was selected in matching chrome.
All these finishes are complimentary and cohesive with the rest of the home. We assisted our clients in selecting finishes for multiple rooms including kitchen and bathrooms. See their bathroom here.
