Overview
A compact L-shaped kitchen in Rowville was given a full makeover focused on warmth and function. The old kitchen had flat-panel laminate doors, worn Formica benchtops and a single fluorescent tube. The new design uses white Shaker-profile doors with cup pull handles for a timeless look. Solid timber benchtops in a rich walnut tone add warmth against the white cabinetry. The splashback is white subway tile laid in a vertical stack pattern for a modern twist on a classic format. A 900mm freestanding gas cooktop and oven sit between the two arms of the L, with a rangehood concealed behind a matching cabinet panel. The existing timber floorboards were sanded and refinished to complement the benchtop tone. Overhead cabinets and open shelving provide a mix of concealed and display storage.

Completed in 5 weeks on budget. The timber benchtops bring warmth to the room and the vertical subway tile is a subtle detail that lifts the whole design.
