I would change the pink areas to white. Then I think it could look quite en trend.

No pictures I'm afraid. But plenty of ideas on it.

The mustard and timber work well for this era, and the bold black and steel frame looks almost scholastic. Very 70s

I suggest using a muted palette in the beach shack, introduce marine ply into your cabinetry, and a typical white laminate or a mint green/duck egg. Lue with a 2mm abs edging that looks like marine ply for the edging. It will provide durability and give the aesthetic of a timber backed door, an illusion in keeping with older fitouts but is dry trendy and loved by us designers.

I'd source old handles and knobs to fit or leave it handle less. These lines were very prolific in the 70s. Id also consider an island on a steel frame like your image, wall pbrackets and shelf supports to hold some enamelware would really suit this shack.

As for Brunswick. Custom joinery is the only way to go.

A big thank you midesign0401! You absolutely nailed it (ha ha) with the Marine Ply cabinetry at the shack!..we're already planning for it...along with no handles! You've reassured me we're on the right track! Love the colour idea too! Cheers!

No problem gabrieledwards.

The marine ply detail is fantastic, but can be expensive, so I suggested a PVC edging called 2mm abs which can come in a ply edge look, this means you can have standard faced laminate doors which are wipe able and more durable han marine ply with the edging they will look like the real deal. I'd go with this on the base cabinets for practicality using block colour, and then build the wall cabinets in marine ply. I even like the idea of ply pegboard backing in open cubbies, and float them on the wall rather tHan to the ceiling, as this was the usual in this era and suits a relaxed fitout.

I'd consider your island to have a steel frame like a prep bench, maybe movable on castors for a flexible space, and the feel frame again makes it feel more beach shack than boho chic!

I'd also contrast a flat faced fitout, meaning no profile doors with vj board or lining board panels on the wall. Applied vertically they are reminiscent of this era, and of holiday homes, although the modern day version is far more impressive. This detail could I vertically lift your space, drawing your eye upwards towards the marine ply cabinetry, and could integrate he kitchen with other rooms adjoining this space. Vertical boards or planked walls are very 70s, very coastal, and also very linear (on trend). The key to replicating style eras, is to emphasize and interpret the good, but leave out the bad.

There are some unique printed laminates in the innovations range which offer specialty laminates. Printed, patterns embossed etc, and one called bold clone could look great as a backing to cabinets in your Brunswick kitchen.

As a kitchen designer myself, I love to use a specialty or standard colour laminate in the top drawers of my kitchens, perhaps the cutlery drawer as it introduces a personality and is often a detail that is overlooked.

Laminex also have a new board product which is suitable for doors in gloss white, which is both magnetic and a whiteboard! And a matte blackboard door. It is double backed, so great for pantry doors.

My main emphasis would be on highlighting clever use of space and form. Use integrated lighting on the upper overheads, even led strip lighting under your kickers to highlight the perimeter and give it a lively, ambient glow.

Have a look at the innovations range cor some cool colour options.

Here's a link to bold clone or pure clone which is white.

Maybe the pure clone in he shack, and bold clone (black) in Brunswick. A nod to your stamp on both. The bold clone can be interpreted many ways, and would suit industrial, warehouse looks, to really architectural inner city fitouts. Urban chic.
