Rounding on the scenery

Designed by Catherine Liedtke, Catherine de Meur Interiors

From the designer:

At the core of our design story lies a home overflowing with untapped potential, where the kitchen and dining nook areas yearn for harmony within the vast space.

Our mission was clear: to design a space that met the owner's desire for soft, muted colours, curves, and an uninterrupted view of the harbour while addressing the disjointedness and wasted space in the existing kitchen area.

With a clear vision in mind, we sought to remove the barriers between rooms, creating a seamless flow that celebrates both the interior and exterior beauty.

We selected a palette of soft, muted tones that exuded tranquillity, allowing the harbour views to take centre stage, as per the owner's brief.

One of our key strategies involved bringing in a graceful curve, a motif that added visual interest and served as a unifying element throughout the home.

By expanding the kitchen and redesigning the space to include the dining nook, we maximised functionality and elegance.

This approach not only addressed the owner's need for a more cohesive space but also enhanced the overall aesthetic appeal.

To achieve indoor-outdoor connectivity, we installed bi-fold doors that seamlessly merged the two realms, allowing the gentle sea breeze and natural light to flow in.

This not only enlarged the visual space but also created a harmonious transition between the interior and exterior, blurring the boundaries between them.

The kitchen and dining area now serve not only as places to cook and dine but as havens for entertaining, gathering, and celebrating the beauty of life.
