For this kitchen, I selected a combination of frame and flat panel doors, drawer fronts with beaded edge detail and grooved panelling.Soft neutral cupboard tones on the fronts were specified along with the addition of bronze accents on the handles and rangehood details. A key product is the benchtop material – Neolith Calacatta Gold SilkThis is a sintered stone material and was used on the cooktop splashback.Made from natural materials, much of this product is recyclable, presenting a great sustainable option for benchtops.It has a beautiful marble-like movement, with an elegant swirling pattern of cream, beige and gold accents on a white background, making it the perfect match for the bronze accents. The island bar seating was located close to the window seat, a great location to sit and entertain with friends.Adjacent to the kitchen is a casual living room with gas fire, and relaxed seating – the living room also opens to an enclosed outdoor living space with another fire, and a soon-to-be-completed outdoor kitchen.The owners' brief was perfectly met, with a functional design sympathetic to the home's style, and well suited to their lifestyle.
