Small Kitchen with Black Cabinets, Stone Slab Splashback and Mosaic Tile Splashback Design Ideas

The kitchen has been redefined as a collection of bespoke cabinets framed by smoky grey marble, separated from the central living area by elegant Crittal windows.

A unique and innovative design, combining the requirements of regular entertainers with busy family lives looking for style and drama in what was a compact space. The redesigned kitchen has space for sit-down meals, work zones for laptops on the large table, and encourages an open atmosphere allowing of lively conversation during food prep, meal times or when friends drop by. The new concept creates space by not only opening up the initial floor plan, but through the creative use of a two-tiered island benchtop, a stylish solution that further sets this kitchen apart. The upper work bench is crafted from Quantum Quartz Gris Fuma stone, utilizing man made stone’s practicality and durability, while the lower custom designed timber table showcases the beauty of Natural Calacatta Honed Marble.

As the residence’s original kitchen was becoming dilapidated, the homeowners decided to knock it down and place it in a different part of the house prior to designing and building the gorgeous kitchen pictured. The homeowners love to entertain, so they requested the kitchen be the centrepiece of the entertaining area at the rear of the house. Large sliding doors were installed to allow the space to extend seamlessly out to the patio, garden, barbecue and pool at the rear of the home, forming one large entertaining area. Given the space’s importance within the home, it had to be aesthetically pleasing. With this in mind, gorgeous Ross Gardam pendants were selected to add an element of luxe to the space. Byron Blackbutt veneer, polyurethane in Domino and gorgeous quartz were chosen as the space’s main materials to add warmth to what is predominantly a very modern home.

Voici cette petite cuisine dont l'espace a été optimisé... aprés avoir détapissé, et enlevé l'ancien carrelage mural, nous avons peint les murs en bleu et blanc, posé une cuisine sur mesure au placards noirs et plan de travail en chêne clair, puis la faïence en mosaïque de verre ;) Le sol a également subit un petit lifting avec la pose d'un parquet en pvc afin de finir de moderniser l'ensemble …
