Contemporary new kitchen with warm neutral cabinets and quartz benchtops with suede finish

They say imitation is a form of flattery, but most people would prefer a kitchen that makes a unique design statement.

And that's exactly as it should be, say the designers at Kitchens By Design. Because every household and every space is different, so every kitchen designed by the company is a custom project.

This kitchen, for example, designed by Sue Gillbanks of Kitchens By Design, has a strong connection with the outdoors. The colours and materials were chosen to provide a visual link to the bush beyond.

The kitchen cabinets, painted to match Aalto Cornerstone, enhance this connection. The designer says the colour also gets away from the white-on-white look that defines many contemporary kitchens.

Other materials in the kitchen include a timber floor and benchtops in Silestone Lyra with a suede finish. Recessed handles reinforce the modern, minimalist design. So too, does a large slider window that is flush with the benchtop, which helps to bring the outdoors in.

Kitchens By Design oversees every project through design, manufacture and installation.

The company's success is reflected in the 70+ design awards it has won since its inception in 1989.
