GET THE LOOK

> Plain white base cabinetry has been painted in Porter’s Paints ‘Agave’ which transforms the entire room.

> White laminate benchtops such as this one are practical if you’re on a really tight budget. A marble subway tile splashback creates a more luxe effect without breaking the bank.

> Elevate the look with brass handles, pendant, tapware and accessories. PLANNING TIP When building cabinets, a good trick is to draw up a floorplan with your cabinets marked ‘A’, ‘B’, etc. Then tape pieces of paper marked with each letter to the appropriate cabinet, drawer and door parts.
