Another benefit of removing the wall is the large island. We replaced the sheet rock wall with a cooper metallic high gloss painted cabinet and a raised bar made out of beautiful fused glass.

For this new family home, the goal was to make the home feel modern, yet warm and inviting. With a neutral colour palette, and using timeless materials such as timber, concrete, marble and stone, Studio Black has a created a home that's luxurious but full of warmth.
