Design ideas for a small contemporary galley open plan kitchen in Melbourne with an undermount sink, blue cabinets, quartzite benchtops, white splashback, brick splashback, black appliances, medium hardwood floors, with island, grey floor, flat-panel cabinets and grey benchtop.

The kitchen in this remodeled 1960s house is colour-blocked against a blue panelled wall which hides a pantry. White quartz worktop bounces dayight around the kitchen. Geometric splash back adds interest. The encaustic tiles are handmade in Spain. The U-shape of this kitchen creates a "peninsula" which is used daily for preparing food but also doubles as a breakfast bar. Photo: Frederik Rissom

Finally, the perfect kitchen mixer tap to match your cabinet hardware is here. Introducing our Kitchen Mixer Taps collection, available in two contemporary silhouettes and four core finishes. PORTMAN is the taller, more elegant style of the two, with a beautifully curved swan neck that sits proudly upon kitchen worktops. If you have a spacious kitchen with a sink overlooking a window view, or sat centrally on a kitchen island, PORTMAN is the tap for you. ARMSTONG is our dynamic, compact tap design for the modern home. Standing shorter than PORTMAN, it has an angular crane shaped neck that looks the part whilst saving space. If your kitchen is on the tighter side, with a sink sitting beneath wall cabinets or head height shelving, ARMSTRONG might just be the tap for you. Choose from our core range of hardware finishes; Brass, Antique Brass, Matte Black or Stainless Steel. Complement your PORTMAN or ARMSTRONG kitchen mixer tap with your cabinet hardware, or choose a contrasting finish — that's pretty on trend right now, we hear. Better still, select textured spout and handle details that marry-up with your textured hardware. Whether knurled, swirled or smooth, these discreet features won't go unnoticed by guests you'll be proudly hosting.

This compact kitchen was carefully designed to make the space work hard for the clients. Our client wanted a highly functional kitchen. We came up with lots of ideas for the small kitchen storage to make every inch count.

The simple white walls help the white accents all match The pop of green brings the colour scheme together especially with the colourful painting above the nook. Modern and industrial theme

Our client's galley kitchen lacked practical storage with an outdated layout that didn’t flow. They approached Matter to maximise the available storage with a more cohesive layout to suit their evolving needs in the years ahead. They allowed near free reign over design and materials, with one simple request that each are equally contemporary and functional. Our design solution combines hard-wearing Blackbutt plywood and grey Forescolor MDF for the door and drawer fronts with laminate-face plywood carcasses. As the MDF has a full colour core, we added a new handle design that cut into the face on a taper, enabling a larger finger-pull and play of light on the surface. Solid Blackbutt handles and vertical partitions are a contemporary take on traditional frame and panel doors. For a touch of indulgence, we added beautifully dramatic Faustina quartzite bench tops and splashbacks from Artedomus. All lower cupboards were replaced with drawers featuring adjustable partitions and a large pull-out Kesseböhmer pantry to ensure food is easily accessed. The oven and microwave were moved next to the stove area and raised for better accessibility. A bench top appliance nook hides away the kettle and toaster behind a custom-made Blackbutt tambour door. We also replaced a section of overhead cupboards with slatted shelving and a mirrored backing that reflects natural light to open up the tight space. Lastly, we added a pull-up bench at the end of the galley to allow our client all the surface area they need to continue to cook meals with complete ease.

Bold, bright and beautiful. Just three of the many words we could use to describe the insanely cool Redhill Kitchen. The bespoke J-Groove cabinetry keeps this kitchen sleek and smooth, with light reflecting off the slab doors to keep the room open and spacious. Oak accents throughout the room softens the bold blue cabinetry, and grey tiles create a beautiful contrast between the two blues in the the room. Integrated appliances ensure that the burgundy Rangemaster is always the focus of the eye, and the reclaimed gym flooring makes the room so unique. It was a joy to work with NK Living on this project. Photography by Chris Snook
