Soft focus

Choosing a kitchen made by a top manufacturer or working with a skilled designer will ensure your project benefits from professional knowledge of ergonomics, aesthetics and the latest styles.

Keeping this in mind, the owners of the home featured on this page approached Fyfe Kitchens to create a new kitchen for their two-storey villa. Designer Judith Marks says she worked closely with her clients to meet their highly detailed brief.

"The main aim was to design a functional, visually striking kitchen that would meet the needs of a busy professional family that entertains frequently."

White lacquered cabinetry with an aluminium trim reinforces each side of the spacious, galley kitchen. Topped with linen-finish stainless steel, the cabinets give the space a clean, streamlined look. Glass has been used to define both the splashback and pantry doors. Sinks and tapware have been selected for their sculpted lines. Carefully designed drawers and cupboards keep everything from food supplies to cooking utensils contained and concealed. Specialist hardware, such as the hanging rail above the cooktop, makes sure everything is within easy reach.
