All Backsplash Materials Contemporary Kitchen Pantry with Stainless Steel Appliances Design Ideas

This renovation embraced a classic design style with a seamless, high-end finish. The cabinetry was crafted in a combination of 2Pac Satin Finish (Dulux Vintage and Resene Triple Malta) and Polytec Woodmatt Notaio Walnut, offering both warmth and sophistication. The benchtops were specified in 40mm Quantum Quartz Argento with an Aris edge, paired with a 20mm Finestone Arana Brown Marble, creating a refined balance of tones and textures. Integrated appliances were selected to achieve the client’s request for a clean, uninterrupted look, while LED strip lighting was routed out beneath the overheads and media unit to add depth and functionality. The cabinetry was finished with bevelgrip and fingerpull openings for a streamlined aesthetic, complemented by soft-close drawer runners, hinges, and an integrated slide-out bin for added convenience. The client’s brief was to achieve a timeless, classic design with fully integrated appliances for a seamless flow throughout the kitchen. Working closely with the interior designer, we managed the entire process directly with the client to ensure their vision was realised. Custom joinery was tailored to the home’s proportions, enhancing both style and functionality. Careful attention to detail during installation ensured flawless finishes and precise alignments. By combining thoughtful design with quality craftsmanship, we delivered a kitchen that is elegant, practical, and built to last.

Nobilia recently released their 1200mm wide draw units, a new design feature our designers were exceptionally pleased to see available. This island is simply magnificent with THREE 1200mm draw units in a row - offering maximum storage - each draw holding in excess of 80kg's! This kitchen recently took top spot in the NZ German kitchen awards for best renovation! Every aspect of the room was overhauled, and the finished product is stunning (see "before:124097" picture).. Key features: The island offers a huge amount of storage, with impressive 1200mm wide draws on the rear of the island, and draws on the inside. The large stone and large single bowl allows the island to entertain for large groups, and creates a functional and practical work space. The over head cupboards are bi folding, and a full height pull out pantry provide even more storage. A custome made 1200mm wide Ilve oven further enhances the unique deign of the kitchen, and represents the clients true love for cooking an entertaining! The kitchen has been designed with a the Nobilia seamless handles, and provides a very linear and minimalist visual, which complement the stunning timber ceiling and tiles floor.
