The Client Brief

We loved working with one of our wonderful local clients on this kitchen and bathroom renovation project. Imagine a kitchen, bathroom, and laundry space that once felt old and uninspired, unable to serve the needs of a growing family. That’s where our adventure began! Our client dreamt of vibrant, functional spaces that could transform with her family's needs. She envisioned unique aesthetics and innovative storage solutions to keep everything organised. It was time to breathe new life into these spaces!

The Challenge

Challenge accepted! We set out to maximise every inch of the allotted space to create a harmonious blend of beauty and practicality. Our client opened up several areas of her home for our creative magic, and we were excited to design storage solutions that weren’t just functional, but also visually appealing.

The Design Solution

Our design embraced the classic U-shape layout, perfect for fostering a fluid workflow in the kitchen—because let’s be honest, cooking is more fun when you can work alongside family! We cleverly extended the kitchen joinery into adjacent spaces, even under the stairs, crafting a cozy wine storage nook great for fun entertaining. A chic coffee station was added for those bustling mornings, allowing for a quick caffeine fix on the go.

In the bathroom, custom vanities and stylish shaving cabinets created ample storage without sacrificing style. Our client’s stunning hardwood colonial windows inspired a colour palette featuring Laminex Hushed Pine green, perfectly complementing the warm timber tones. Paired with sleek grey countertops and striking black hardware, we achieved a contemporary classic that's brimming with personality!

The Result

An outstanding transformation! With stunning custom joinery seamlessly woven through the home, our client finally has the storage solutions she dreamed of, turning her home into the neat and tidy sanctuary she always wanted. Now, cooking and entertaining is not just a chore, but comfortable and easy. Here’s to beautiful spaces that inspire and elevate everyday living!
