Kitchen with Cork Floors and Laminate Floors Design Ideas

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?

A walk in pantry concealed by a sliding door has been used as a feature. The black frame and pulley system adds a contrast, and compliments the timber well. The character generated by this kitchen comes from the clients ability to accessories this kitchen with heart and passion. An eclectic gather of textures, colors and materials work perfectly together to create a welcoming and functional area to entertain from, and provide for your family. Full high ceiling tiles, open timber shelving, a mixture of timber laminate and concrete bench top surfaces, and an assortment of bar stools all contribute their own special character to this wonderful kitchen.

Quando lo spazio a disposizione è poco, il budget è limitato e vuoi ottimizzare l'investimento destinando il tuo immobile alla Microricettività, diventa fondamentale essere strategici nelle scelte da fare che non possono essere subordinate al gusto personale, ma ad una corretta analisi del target cui ci si vuole rivolgere per la vendita dei pernotti. Se poi l'appartamento è disabitato da diverso tempo diventa ancor più decisivo rivolgersi ad un professionista che sia in grado di gestire un restyling degli spazi in chiave home staging destinato alla microricettività. E' il caso di questo grande monolocale con cucina ed ingresso separato, uno spazio dedicato ad armadio (tipo cabina armadio) e bagno di pertinenza. Per ottimizzare le risorse, tempo ed investimenti, ho operato delle scelte che fossero in grado di coniugare la caratterizzazione degli ambienti incontrando il gusto del target di riferimento, unendo l'esigenza di immettere l'immobile sul mercato nel più breve tempo possibile. L'esigenza del target identificato, di tipo business, è quella di avere uno spazio confortevole per soggiorni di lavoro che comprenda una cucina funzionale con spazio per i pasti più informali e veloci, le dotazioni utili ad un soggiorno più lungo (ad esempio lavasciuga e lavastoviglie), uno spazio per lavorare da remoto con possibilità di video call, ma che fosse idoneo anche ad accogliere famiglie, fino a 3 + 1 persone. Per soddisfare le esigenze, con occhio attento al budget, alle tempistiche, così come alle procedure necessarie, nell'ambiente principale ho suddiviso lo spazio disponibile suddividendolo in aree. Ho così ricreato uno spazio separato dedicato alla camera da letto, una zona pranzo dedicata a pasti più formali o per più persone e a zona attrezzata per lo smart working ed una zona relax/ospiti con un divano letto singolo sdoppiabile per poter accogliere altre due persone. Il bagno è stato parzialmente rivisto sostituendo i sanitari con altri di nuova generazione (senza toccare gli impianti, non previsti nel budget) e le parti a specchio inserite nei rivestimenti verticali ora divenute mosaici nelle tonalità presenti in tutta la casa: bianco, grigio e nero. Parte degli arredi (quelli in legno scuro come le librerie, il mobile tv e il mobile del bagno) sono stati recuperati, ma gli altri arredi sono stati acquistati. L'intervento maggiore della parte struttura, è avvenuto in cucina dove ho provveduto a sostituire il pavimento e ad ammodernare gli impianti. Anche l'impianto elettrico è stato aggiornato per le parti di competenza. In cucina, oltre agli elettrodomestici normalmente destinati a questa zona della casa, è stata inserita una lavasciuga da incasso. Il progetto completo del living con zona pranzo e la camera da letto li trovi tra i miei progetti "Il monolocale: tutto in un ambiente. Destinazione Microricettività", mentre il progetto del bagno lo trovi tra i miei progetti alla voce "Restyling bagno low cost". Oltre al divisorio in legno, con top e travi verticali, ho caratterizzato l'appartamento con la tecnica del color blocking in modo da definire le zone, creando continuità per colori e materiali. Quando si interviene in un progetto di home staging destinato alla microricettività è fondamentale identificare un target di riferimento ed un mood, uno stile, che caratterizzi gli ambienti. Il mood è spesso condizionato dalle risorse a disposizione del progetto (tempistiche e budget) e le esistenze (materiali e arredi). In questo caso ho scelto il mood Technological&Natural.

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.

Second Nature Kitchens Belsay in Cashmere is simply stunning! This soft, neutral tone is often associated with luxury and sophistication, making it a popular choice in kitchens. Cashmere compliments a variety of kitchen styles, ranging from modern to traditional and pairs well with earthy tones, such as the Quartz Hail Storm worktops and the Karndean Canadian Urban Oak flooring. The Quartz worktops and upstands are visually striking, featuring swirls of brown and black, woven into a cloud-like grey and white pattern. The Quartz stone makes an eye catching splash back behind the Neff induction hob and under the Neff extractor, creating a luxurious look that continues the flow of the worktop. The Karndean flooring captures the charm of rustic Oak with its mixture of brown tones, which exudes warmth and character. This completes the room beautifully.
