Originally a church and community centre, this Northside residence has been lovingly renovated by an enthusiastic young couple into a unique family home. The design brief for this kitchen design was to create a larger than life industrial style kitchen that would not look lost in the enormous 8.3meter wide “assembly hall” area of this unassuming 1950’s suburban home. The inclusion of a large island that was proportionate to the space was a must have for the family. The collation of different materials, textures and design features in this kitchen blend to create a functional, family-friendly, industrial style kitchen design that feels warm and inviting and entirely at home in its surroundings. The clients desire for dark charcoal colour cabinetry is softened with the use of the ‘Bluegrass’ colour cabinets under the rough finish solid wood island bench. The sleek black handles on the island contrast the Bluegrass cabinet colour while tying the island in with the handless charcoal colour cabinets on the back wall. With limited above bench wall space, the majority of storage is accommodated in 50-65kg capacity soft closing drawers under deep benchtops maximising the storage potential of the area. The 1meter wide appliance cabinet has ample storage for small appliances in tall deep drawers under bench height while a pair of pocket doors above bench level open to reveal bench space for a toaster and coffee machine with a microwave space and shelving above. This kitchen design earned our designer Anne Ellard, a spot in the final of KBDI’s 2017 Designer Awards. Award winners will be announced at a Gala event in Adelaide later this year. Now in its ninth year, the KBDi Designer Awards is a well-established and highly regarded national event on the Australian design calendar. The program recognises the professionalism and talent of Australian kitchen and bathroom designers. What the clients said: ” The end result of our experience with Anne and Kitchens by Kathie is a space that people walk into and everyone says “Wow!”. As well as being great to look at, it’s a pleasure to use, the space has both great form and function. Anne was extremely responsive to any issues or concerns that cropped up during the design/build process which made the whole process much smoother and enjoyable. Thanks again Anne, we’re extremely happy with the result.”

While this is a beach house kitchen, it would sit just as comfortably in an exclusive home on the European Alps. There is a lot of timber in this kitchen, yet there is no feeling of timber overload a la 1970's scandi-mania! So, what keeps this timber chic? High impact black engineered stone bench tops take the eye from the wood giving a feeling of warmth and a laid back air. Hard wearing terracotta ground the timber without going overboard on the brown tones. There is a definite luxurious cinnamon flavour happening here and it is pulled off expertly by the designer.

This elegant kitchen and utility room project in Eskbank showcases a design that balances tradition and modernity with ease. The Shaker-style cabinetry, supplied by BA Components, features a soft pairing of Sage Green and Antique White finishes, creating a fresh yet timeless look across both spaces. Storage and function were key to the design, with the cabinets offering a clean, classic aesthetic while providing ample space for everyday essentials. The gentle contrast between the two tones brings visual interest without overpowering the space, making it feel bright, calm, and cohesive. Topping the cabinetry is Silestone’s Calacatta Gold Quartz worktop, delivering a luxurious touch with its bold veining and warm undertones. A solid oak breakfast bar extension on the island adds texture and warmth, serving as a welcoming spot for casual dining or morning coffee. Appliances have been carefully chosen for performance and style, including a Miro venting induction hob that offers streamlined functionality without the need for a separate extractor. A Blanco 4-in-1 boiling water tap completes the space, adding everyday convenience. Looking to elevate your kitchen with beauty and practicality?

This very typical layout in Australian homes, was perfectly customised for this client. Generous storage, ample bench space and specifically requested features such as the corner pantry, double ovens, sink drawers, and smaller top-drawer sets, together with plenty of seating for everyone in the family, create a beautifully customised look. The soft neutral tones of the kitchen makes a perfect backdrop for the pretty view outside, as well as for this family's collection of artwork. The pendant lights over the breakfast bar not only assist to light the area, their form also adds to the light mood of this space.
