Kitchen with Laminate Floors Design Ideas

This tired apartment was in desperate need of a refresh, and Studio Lifestyling gave it a complete makeover. From new paint and hybrid timber floors to a modern kitchen update, we turned this space into a stylish, comfortable oasis. We handpicked furniture, rugs, cushions, lighting, and art to create a cohesive look that feels inviting and relaxed. Our aim was to make every part of the apartment not just beautiful, but practical and easy to live in. The end result is an apartment that’s both stylish and welcoming, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.

When the collaboration between client, builder and cabinet maker comes together perfectly the end result is one we are all very proud of. The clients had many ideas which evolved as the project was taking shape and as the budget changed. Through hours of planning and preparation the end result was to achieve the level of design and finishes that the client, builder and cabinet expect without making sacrifices or going over budget. Soft Matt finishes, solid timber, stone, brass tones, porcelain, feature bathroom fixtures and high end appliances all come together to create a warm, homely and sophisticated finish. The idea was to create spaces that you can relax in, work from, entertain in and most importantly raise your young family in. This project was fantastic to work on and the result shows that why would you ever want to leave home?

We didn’t just design for beauty—we designed for everyday joy. This kitchen is as practical as it is polished. ✨ Smart hardware transforms once-awkward corners into storage powerhouses—think pull-outs that glide open effortlessly and deep drawers that extend fully, so nothing is ever lost in the back. From soft-close hinges and touch-release drawers to integrated waste solutions, every feature was handpicked to enhance comfort, access, and ease—while maintaining the clean, modern aesthetic. These thoughtful touches don’t just make the kitchen more convenient—they make it a pleasure to use, every single day. ??️

Byfield Court Kitchen Project Modern Coastal Renovation Our clients engaged us to bring their design to life and construct a bright, functional kitchen that would complement the relaxed coastal feel of their home while maximising storage and entertaining space. The brief was to create a light-filled, timeless design that balanced natural textures with clean, modern lines. Cabinetry The cabinetry combines Polytec Boston Oak Woodmatt for warmth and texture with Formica Warm White, achieving a fresh and inviting aesthetic. The full-height overheads provide seamless storage while maintaining a soft, minimalist profile. All internal carcasses were constructed from high-quality white board for durability and ease of maintenance. Benchtops & Splashback The benchtops feature Caesarstone Aterra Blanca, chosen for its subtle veining and low-maintenance finish. A generous breakfast bar provides ample preparation and seating space, with a waterfall end adding a refined touch. The splashback was finished in a soft green textured tile, introducing gentle colour and a coastal accent that ties beautifully with the joinery. Appliances & Fixtures The kitchen was designed to integrate both style and practicality, including: • Induction cooktop and undermount rangehood • Matte black Undermount sink with matte black mixer • Ample bench space for appliances Lighting & Detailing LED strip lighting under the overhead cabinetry provides task illumination while enhancing the tile texture. Soft recessed downlights and the open layout keep the space bright and airy throughout the day. Design & Functionality The layout was carefully considered to create a social, open-plan environment connecting seamlessly to the dining and living areas. The breakfast bar seating encourages interaction and casual dining, while the natural materials and tonal palette establish a warm yet modern feel. From concept to completion, this kitchen blends functionality, craftsmanship, and coastal calm — perfectly suited to everyday family living and entertaining.
