CLEAR VIEW

Long gone are the days of the all-white kitchen reigning supreme. Dark is in… and in a big way. As you start gathering your kitchen mood board, you’ll find there are myriad ways to execute this trend – one is to incorporate a deep forest green with large expanses of glass. Here, ably supported by the outdoorsy green and timber contemporary units, the glass connects you with the outdoors.

WINDOW WOW

For a streamlined and modern look, forgo architraves in favour of a shadowline around the reveal of your windows. As for a timber stain colour, select a rich shade of merbau or a colour to suit. Simply stunning!

RAISE THE CEILING Raise a central section of your ceiling, even if only slightly, to make room for diffused lighting effects. Fit strip LEDS within the recess – you’ll love the mood, while the extra height enhances the sense of space.

IT’S A KNOCKOUT Knock down part of a wall to open up a cramped galley kitchen to your living areas. Then extend your galley’s base units out and around the new opening for an island-like divider clad in timber for contrast.
