Kitchen Reveal

Serene and elegant, Steph and Gian focused on blending neutral tones with texture to produce a modern kitchen that is the heart of their home. The pair opted for a bright and organic colour palette, produced by combining Kinsman’s new Porto Maple Woodmatt and Platinum Metallic cabinets with statement Ebony Stained American Oak handles. Soft creamy countertops have been extended onto the splashbacks creating a seamless look throughout.

“We knew we wanted to continue the Japandi aesthetic into our kitchen design and this is reflected in the colours and finishes we selected, explains Steph. Our design appeals to those who love to cook and entertain, and I’m obsessed with the Fisher & Paykel appliances!”   

A true entertainer’s kitchen, key cooking appliances including a Fisher & Paykel Induction Cooktop with integrated ventilation, have been placed on the island bench- giving family and guests a front row seat to the drama of creating meals. Spanning a generous 3 metres, the island also provides a seating nook and a wealth of additional storage.

Keeping the kitchen tidy is a breeze thanks to the cleaning zone that sits within the back wall of joinery, consisting of an integrated dishwasher, hidden Ninka Bin, Gunmetal undermount sink and Gooseneck mixer with vegie spray. To the left of this zone, the fridge is integrated behind cabinetry, while on the right, a pull-out Dispensa Pantry keeps kitchen essentials organised and within easy reach.

Blending practicality with good looks, Steph and Gian’s laundry layout focuses on useability, storage, and style. The colour palette echoes that of their kitchen, focusing on organic tones and texture, achieved by Kinsman’s new Porto Maple Woodmatt and Platinum Metallic cabinetry, statement Timber handles, and creamy marble-inspired benches and splashbacks.

The laundry room design has been carefully considered to produce a space that ticks all the boxes. The Fisher & Paykel front-loader washing machine and dryer have been positioned side by side, allowing for a generous laundry bench to be placed above– perfect for folding and sorting clothing.

Master Wardrobe Reveal

Steph and Gian have created a walk in wardrobe that dreams are made of! The only house to include an island bench, the design is a masterclass in style and storage. The large-scale U-shaped layout maximises cabinetry and storage, the central island bench taking centrestage. Topped in a stunning marble-look mineral surface from Cosentino, the island provides additional storage space thanks to several soft-close drawers featuring a series of Häfele Accessory Trays.

Kinsman’s New Platinum Metallic doors create a luxe feel as you enter the space, and the contrasting internal colour of the oak timber-look finish ties both the joinery and the benchtops together with the moody textures. Leather Dark Brown wardrobe door handles with Pewter Button complete the look.

The design includes Black Frame Glass Shelves on each side of the makeup station which features a Häfele Mirror. The shelving creates the perfect place to display handbags and favourite accessories, while behind closed doors a wealth of hanging space, soft-close drawers, and clever storage solutions such as the impressive Rotating Shoe Rack ensures that keeping the wardrobe organised is a breeze.
