Warrandyte kitchen renovation – before and after

Quite a contrast … the kitchen in Warrandyte before the renovation.

For this superb renovation in Warrandyte, our clients wanted to create a feeling of space and openness – bringing the outdoors inside – while maintaining the footprint of the existing kitchen.

There were design challenges to overcome, thanks to some load bearing walls that couldn’t be removed. But we were able to deliver a new space that completely transformed the kitchen’s look and feel.

The previous kitchen had been solid timber with a heavy, dark wood grain. It seemed small and cramped, with poor storage and a tight cooking and preparation area.

To make the space feel more open and less cluttered, we square-set the room and came up with a clever design that meant the renovated kitchen would not require overhead cabinetry.

And this is vital in creating the sense of openness and clean space that our clients requested.

In place of overhead cabinets, we chose a feature tile for the whole back wall. Although the kitchen is mainly white, this white patterned tile adds beautiful texture and depth to the room.

Streamlined look

No two kitchen renovations are the same, and in this case our client’s preference was for cabinetry with handles. To continue the uncluttered look, we designed a way for the handles to blend in with the cabinets.

We powder-coated handles to create a “semi-handleless” look.

The clients love the way handles work for everyday use. They are practical yet don’t detract from the streamlined look we were aiming for.

Neolith benchtop

The Neolith island benchtop is a beautiful centrepiece.

Our clients wanted a marble look, but without the care and maintenance that natural marble requires.

Neolith offers a beautiful marble appearance with excellent durability and ease of care. With its fabulous looks and silky textured finish, the island has become the hub of the kitchen, perfect for sitting around with family and friends.
