MODERN DELIGHT

Combine chic shades of grey with rustic oak and plenty of texture to create a cool and contemporary twist on classic Scandi style.

• Why stoop when you don’t have to? Install a wall oven, microwave or other appliance. Sitting stacked or side-by-side as preferred, consider your ease of access when it comes to deciding on their final placement.

• Paint your ceiling and walls the same shade for an immersive feel. Just be prepared for the colour to appear darker on the ceiling. Prefer it to be lighter? Opt for half-strength.

2 MASTER CHEF

If you’re a keen cook, a gas stovetop is a must-have. Plan for ample bench space either side of it for convenient food prep. As a guide, allow 300mm minimum either side of your hob, but make merry if you have the space.

3 LIGHTING EFFECTS

Suspend modern brass tube pendants over your dining table. With 2.4m high ceilings, hang lights 800mm from the table. For every 300mm of extra ceiling height, hang them 10cm higher.

4 SINK STATION

Gain yourself valuable bench space with an undercounter sink, allowing for recessed grooves and a gentle slope in a quartz benchtop for good drainage. Similar Jet Black quartz benchtop, caesarstone.com.au.

5 BAR TAB!

Delineate the cooking and prep area of your double-sided island with a raised bar table that rests on the base units. A slight overhang allows for informal seating. To avoid an overload of grey, go for timber-legged stools.

Dealing with low to high ceilings?

Consider pairing recessed general lighting with directional wall lights above the island
