A view of this kitchen featuring polished timber flooring and sleek white cabibnetry from Cabinets Craft MacKay has 20 years' experience in the cabinetry design field to lean on and Cabinet Craft has been in business for seven of those. The company designs, builds and installs all of its projects from scratch.For the above design, MacKay created a crisp kitchen with strong, horizontal lines. The upper cabinetry and island bench have interior lights, which add a glowing aesthetic. MacKay says he lit the face side of the island to set it apart from the rest of the kitchen, while the upper lights add a soft feature to the storage spaces. Downlights illuminate a metallic back-painted glass splashback below."I do a lot of pondering before I sit down to design. I want things to be practical and fit together well," says MacKay.
