Cabinetry 19-01

Designed for family living, this large kitchen has two islands and sits in a double height, cathedral-like space. The inner island is the main prep and clean-up island, while the second island provides a link to a large covered terrace

Want a sense of drama with no gimmick and no impediment to functionality? A matt black cabinetry finish in this kitchen design achieves both.

Strategically and elegantly designed, this kitchen – with finely crafted cabinetry from RH Cabinetmakers – combines a warm aesthetic with efficient functionality

Wood, white and elegant, this sculptural kitchen in a sculptural luxury home makes it worth tearing yourself away from the water views

For this kitchen, the main black surface is viewed on entering the kitchen from the rear or while working in it.  The designer contrasted the generous use of wood with soft matt black surfaces on the island where it helps avoid a strictly symmetrical look

When it comes to your cabinetry, more can look like less. Here, with not much existing storage, a giant wall of visually receding floor-to-near-ceiling white cabinetry more than fits the bill

Shared wood finishes can add warmth and character to your interior design. In this kitchen, cabinetry and a batten screen are both in the same richly toned Navurban veneer

The faceted design of the island in this kitchen by Austin Maynard Architects creates the look of an over-sized chopped block of wood

You can't beat authenticity. A dresser was introduced into this kitchen to evoke a country feel – whereby, furniture-like pieces have the look of all having been drawn together over time

This large domestic kitchen has a strong emphasis on a commercial look. The two pendants over the baking island add to the strong, no-nonsense aesthetic.

When your kitchen is on the top level of a three-level home looking to the water, it makes good sense you would prep and drink in the views at the same time.

For a natural aesthetic, this kitchen island has a batten face, while the wall cabinetry is in a similar-toned wood. A slender batten timber ceiling also features. See more great kitchen looks at the Trends Cabinetry Hub

This kitchen boasts a pared-back palette of Hoop Pine veneer and white laminate – a continuation of the joinery style seen in other connected spaces

With the original ceiling stripped out to gain a sense of space, a new bulkhead was introduced above this new kitchen. This conceals services and helps define the work area

When your passion is baking it makes sense to have a dedicated baking zone – this one is just a few steps from the island and tucked behind pocket doors

Good taste on display – the long wall of this kitchen features runs of underlit display shelving. The shelves add to the aesthetics as well as the functionality of the space

The design of your cabinetry can speak volumes – and even tell a story. To evoke a light industrial accent for this new kitchen in a 1920s home, designer Meghan Browne introduced a freestanding pantry with a cross over the front reminiscent of old carriageway doors – as though the piece might have been made from elements of the time.

A wealth of storage is tucked out of sight in this family kitchen which achieves a dramatic presence without detracting from the sea views

The heart of the home and a leading interior feature, it pays to do your kitchen once and do it right – working with an award-winning designer such as Kira Gray

This transforming renovation by EJ Building optimises space with a tall, wall-hung cabinet. A translucent glass door gives you an idea of the cabinet's contents rather than a clear view, for a more demure aesthetic

Cabinetry can be as much about aesthetics as about utility. This custom made, wall hung cabinet continues the grey and charcoal theme seen through this master suite. The cabinet has the same Caesarstone Raven top used for the bathroom vanity and the kitchen countertops in the home, plus Dezignatek matt slate door fronts.

For this ensuite, Darren James introduced a deep blade privacy wall for the shower zone. This allowed the designer to create a recessed wall cabinet, providing maximum storage with minimal projection into the room.

Ostrich hide, in vinyl, flanks the side walls of this double vanity and is also featured on the cabinetry insets here, and in the dressing room

Need space? Need storage? Mirror fronts on the cabinetry in this bathroom extend the sense of space visually and at the same time downplay the presence of the capacious wall cabinets themselves.

When all closed up, it just looks like a bank of tall cabinetry alongside this bathroom vanity. But two of the doors open up to a concealed walk-in robe and dressing room

Suspended overhead cabinetry in this ensuite is mirrored on both the vanity and the bath sides – and can also be conveniently accessed from either side

Benchtop-to-ceiling cabinetry extends into the corners of this Sarah Robertson-designed kitchen, maximising usable space.

For this kitchen design by architect Eliska Lewis, upper cabinet doors open outwards and swing upwards on a sophisticated, labour-saving mechanism – giving easy, unimpeded access to stored items. 

Custom-designed cabinetry made of Plyboo in this master bedroom connects with the storage cabinetry in the adjacent bathroom. The bedroom also illustrates designer FuTung Cheng’s hallmark construction material – concrete.

In this sleek kitchen project by designer Kira Gray of Fyfe Kitchens, a soft grey palette breaks up the white walls. The semi-industrial-meets-refined look combines a stainless steel workbench with a concrete island benchtop.

This kitchen’s variety of niche storage solutions includes a dedicated drawer for the owner’s tea storage.

Can't fit a walk-in robe into your new master suite? A line of carefully organised cabinetry running along one wall can be just as effective. 

Three teen boys and one undersized main bathroom – this Kira Gray renovation is ideally zoned to family needs

Is your furniture and cabinetry working hard enough? A freestanding cabinet serves double duty as storage as well as room divider in the living/dining area of this renovated home

A run of sculptural plywood storage cabinetry provides visual interest on the way to the open-plan living-dining-kitchen space in this home by architect Murali Bhaskar of Boon Team Architects.
