Full house re-design project where we worked on the kitchen layout and design amongst other rooms in the house. The cork flooring helps with the acoustics whilst creating an amazing flooring pattern, and the soft pink walls create warmth without being too overpowering.

This beautifully curated open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area embodies a seamless blend of Coastal and Japandi aesthetics, creating a warm yet functional space for a young family. The kitchen is minimalistic yet practical, featuring sleek white cabinetry, natural wood accents, and open shelving that showcases thoughtfully selected ceramics and glassware ready for everyday use. A neutral palette of soft whites, warm beiges, and organic textures continues to enhance the sense of calm and simplicity. The woven bar stools at the kitchen island echo the texture of the grass pendant lights suspended over the dining table, reinforcing a cohesive natural aesthetic. The same earthy tones and organic materials are carried through in the Jude rugs, adding warmth and grounding the space. Designed for everyday functionality, the kitchen incorporates ample storage, durable finishes, and an efficient layout, ensuring ease of use for a busy family. Subtle decorative elements—like linen textiles, handcrafted pottery, and soft lighting—infuse the space with an inviting, lived-in charm. This harmonious blend of Scandinavian minimalism and Japanese wabi-sabi principles results in a serene, stylish, and family-friendly home, where beauty meets purpose effortlessly.

The original space was a long, narrow room, with a tv and sofa on one end, and a dining table on the other. Both zones felt completely disjointed and at loggerheads with one another. Attached to the space, through glazed double doors, was a small kitchen area, illuminated in borrowed light from the conservatory and an uninspiring roof light in a connecting space. But our designers knew exactly what to do with this home that had so much untapped potential. Starting by moving the kitchen into the generously sized orangery space, with informal seating around a breakfast bar. Creating a bright, welcoming, and social environment to prepare family meals and relax together in close proximity. In the warmer months the French doors, positioned within this kitchen zone, open out to a comfortable outdoor living space where the family can enjoy a chilled glass of wine and a BBQ on a cool summers evening.

The refurbished kitchen includes bifold window to allow pass through servery to the verandah outside. A redundant verandah to end of the Family Room beyond, was enclosed and incorporated into the interior space to create a more generous sitting and TV area.
