The ideal embodiment of the classic V-groove style, this crisp and calm kitchen from the team at Tulip Kitchens & Designs evokes clean continuity from the very outset. Subtle, pale green dances across the joinery, and provides a welcome contrast to the crisp, refreshing whites of the benchtop and tiles. Achieved using satin Dulux ‘Pale Green Tea’, this brilliant pale green hue seen on the custom-made cabinetry fronts was hand-painted in a brush stroke to achieve the desired impact and texture. Expertly combined with brilliant brass handles and a desk made from recycled blackhole Blackbutt, this kitchen is the height of modern sophistication.

Let’s Talk Kitchens & Interiors has once again delivered groundbreaking results with this enchanting, light-filled kitchen. This space is a love letter to classic style with contemporary elements injected throughout to create a tremendous harmony of aesthetics.

This remarkable renovation was brought to life by the team at Mint Kitchen Group. The homeowners – a family of four and their friendly dog – needed a kitchen redesign that suited the lifestyle of hungry teens and parents who are both avid chefs. Before the fit out, the kitchen was dark, dated and not very user-friendly, so functionality and light were priorities for this refreshing build. To make this happen, the existing wall dividing the kitchen and meals area was removed to open up the space, making it ideal for the regular entertaining that this family loves. Two large skylights were incorporated into the vaulted ceiling to add a sense of height and flood the kitchen with an abundance of natural light; this is enhanced by a new splashback…

Built into the existing framework of the home, the kitchen was the centrepiece to the newly built extension, made to be open and welcoming as well as functional. A marriage of solid timber, modern white and natural tones, this kitchen is light-filled and beautiful. These existing tall ceilings, high windows and skylights are a stunning feature of the kitchen space. Inline Cabinetry ensured that the cabinetry was subtle and didn’t detract from these established features. By creating floating shelves instead of upper cabinetry in the majority of the main kitchen and the butler’s pantry nook, the space feels airy, simple, and open. The bench legs are made from solid American oak, while the upper cabinetry and floating shelves are made of polytec ‘Natural Oak Ravine’, giving a grounded warmth to…

As the focal point of first project, the chimney breast is both beautiful and striking.

With white cabinetry, marble floors and arabesque tiled splashback, the rest of the space follows suit with a classic yet casual, cool, and contemporary look. The island benchtop features an 80mm thick stone top and is perfectly sized…

This kitchen was designed to maintain the existing country feel of the home. With respect to the stunning pitched ceilings with exposed timber beams, the kitchen complements the aesthetic without outshining the stunning features of the home. The result is a contemporary farmhouse kitchen that suits the rural location, while infusing a modern touch. With a large open space to work with, iCab Cabinets added a wall to enclose the hidden walk-in pantry and re-orientate the kitchen to make the most of the northern light flooding in from the glass doors. The otherwise unused space is transformed into a spacious pantry that hides the fridge and food storage so that the main kitchen can remain aesthetically beautiful. The joinery displays stripped-back shaker style doors painted in matte white two-pack, which…

This charmingly opulent kitchen is the result of the combined effort between Nuveau Kitchens and the homeowner. Showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail in its design and construction, the space effortlessly accommodates the homeowner’s everyday needs as well as their ability to entertain family and friends.

The natural woodgrain joinery warms the space and stands out against the interior’s cool greys and vibrant whites, creating visual interest without interfering with the aesthetic. Black bar stools and appliances add a definition that frames the space, while the copper-coloured tapware and sink offer a glamourous finishing touch. In the dining…

Modelled off the pebble of the same name, this tile is cleverly designed with levels of contrast between the varying shades of white and grey. This pebble is scarce and rarely found, as quarries of it…

Forever at the forefront of rangehood innovation, Schweigen is proud to be educating homeowners across the globe on the differences between rangehood varieties. Most recently, Schweigen has shared the differences between the functions of ducted rangehoods compared with recirculating rangehoods – and how each can complement different lifestyles and needs. Much like the name, ducted rangehoods pass cooking exhaust through mesh filters or baffles, with the aims of capturing airborne grease, before venting smoke and odours through ducts to the outdoors. These rangehoods do require ducts to be factored into your kitchen design and installed through the wall, or the ceiling above your cooktop to the outdoors. Ducted rangehoods are known to produce a better quality of air – with humid and polluted air being completely extracted from the kitchen,…

After buying the company seven years ago, Rick Florence has seen Coldbuster Floor Heating grow ten-fold. Underfloor heating is quickly becoming the top choice for heating in the home, but Rick Florence feels that most Australians still aren’t aware of the immense benefits.

Electric floor heating is installed with ease before your final floor finish goes down, with an accompanying thermostat to control in the home. At Coldbuster, you can choose from under-tile – which includes under timbers, vinyls, and laminates – undercarpet, in-screed, and in-slab heating. RISE ABOVE THE REST There are many quality…

Cantilever Interiors has delivered outstanding results with a stunning update to this home in the valley of the Strathbogie Ranges. Tasked with a renovation to update the home and capture the surrounding landscape, the company selected its EDIT system to install.

By pairing locally sourced Australian dolomite natural stone benchtops and steel plate detailing, Cantilever Interiors has created a cohesive and captivating kitchen. The palette for this renovation was inspired by the external environment and the changing colours of the landscape throughout the seasons.

The exceptional team at Seaview Cabinets have masterfully produced this eclectic kitchen. Combining natural elements and painted finishes, the result is a clean minimalist look that excites the eye. This contemporary marvel is cleverly designed to create a sense of flow throughout the space. The soft edges of the kitchen island mimic the curved wall, and this is further enhanced by timber lining on the island that cohesively ties the natural pattern of the benchtop to the floorboards. Given the brief of ‘storage, storage, storage’, Seaview Cabinets has certainly not disappointed, making excellent use of the extraordinary ceilings by taking the cabinetry 3100mm high. This intelligent decision allows not only for optimal storage options but works to expand the space, highlighting the grandeur of the room. In order to achieve…

Inspired by the simple elegance of nature, this stunning contemporary kitchen and bathroom was completed by the innovative team at Finewood Designer Kitchens.

Utilising stunning textural and linear elements, the island bench serves as a central hub that ties the kitchen together and makes it a prime area for entertaining. The use of Steccawood’s ‘Natural Oak Ravine’ panelling in a half round profile offers a natural warmth to the sleek lines of the kitchen and is paired perfectly with the Fibonacci Terrazzo benchtops in ‘Pavlova’. The curving edge of the bench brings a natural flow to the room and functions in…

Bespoke Bathrooms renovated this bathroom space to transform an old, outdated layout into a clean, functional, and stylish open-plan design. The team moved the toilet, shower and vanity from its original house layout of separate water closet and shower room, into the same room. This change creates an ease of movement and practicality, with the look of an expensive, spa-like retreat. The organic, clay-like look of the bathroom colour palette was achieved with the use of volcanic-coloured ‘Spicy Matt’ floor tiles that wrap up the wall behind the bath.

Absolutely bespoke to the homeowners, this retreat pays homage to its origins with recycled…

Häcker Australia’s latest project shines a spotlight on its walnut kitchen – a space that proves kitchens don’t have to be large to pack a punch. Presented with a brief to utilise the space as both a functional kitchen and office space without compromising on aesthetic, Häcker Australia crafted a warm kitchen that evoked a sense of calm. The use of the ‘Walnut Bali’ coupled with soft touches of the ‘Laser Soft’ black provide the warm tonal feel that provides the perfect segue from kitchen to work. To maintain a minimalist aesthetic, both the fridge and dishwasher are integrated into the seamless walnut profile across the kitchen. This is then contrasted with the linear black matte handles.

The team worked closely with the homeowner to both actualise their vision for a French provincial kitchen, and create interior joinery that celebrated the beauty of their Hampton’s style home. For the kitchen, Professional Joinery cleverly implemented a white colour palette that serves to not only make the space feel homely and welcoming, but the subtlety of the shades allows the intricate patterns of the custom timber moulding and skirting to shine. The satin finish on the two-pack cabinetry reflects just enough light to enliven the space without creating a harsh glare, and this is perfectly complemented by the soft grains of the white marble benchtop from…
