KBDI Designer Award Small Kitchen Finalist 2016 For this project, our designer was provided with a brief to open the kitchen onto the living area and reinvent the space to better accommodate the homeowners’ needs and lifestyle. With Dulux ‘Natural White’ walls and natural stone travertine tiled flooring, the 13m² space blends harmoniously with the apartment’s contemporary style. Warmer materials interspersed throughout the kitchen beautifully balance the doors, panels and kickboards, which have a glossy finish achieved with a Polytec vinyl-wrap finish in ‘Classic White’. To maximise the length of the island bench, we relocated the refrigerator and removed the wall in which it had originally been housed. With more bench space for food preparation, the new layout functions supremely for a couple who greatly enjoys cooking as well as entertaining guests.
