Traditional Eat-in Kitchen with Glass Sheet Splashback and Medium Hardwood Floors Design Ideas

The Brief These Southwater based clients sought to completely transform their former kitchen and dining room by creating an expansive and open plan kitchen space to enjoy for years to come. The only problem was a dividing wall, that was to be removed as part of their project. In addition, the project brief required a remodel of their utility room, as well as a full lighting improvement and all ancillary works to suit the new kitchen layout and theme. Design Elements Designer Alistair has created this layout to incorporate a large island area, which was a key desirable of the clients. The rest of the cabinetry surrounds this island and has been designed to maximise storage using a combination of full-height cabinetry and wall units. In terms of theme, the clients favoured a particular finish of Dekton, named Trance. Seeking to use this work surface, they then opted for a navy colour to match, with a Porcelain colour chosen to soften the rest of the design. The kitchen cabinetry itself is from British supplier Trend, and is their solid slim painted shaker option, which utilises subtle woodgrain appearance. The design incorporates some nice features at the client’s request, like curved units, glass fronted storage, and pull-out pantry storage. Special Inclusions The renovation also incorporates numerous high-specification appliances. Designer Alistair has specified an array of Neff models, including an integrated dishwasher, full-height fridge, full-height freezer, as well as two Neff Slide & Hide single ovens. Elsewhere a five-burner gas hob has been incorporated, which features an oversized central wok burner. Above, a Neff built-in extractor has been built into furniture. A full lighting improvement has been made to the space, incorporating plinth lighting, new downlights in the ceiling and underneath wall units. The clients requested a splashback behind the hob, which they have chosen in a sparkling navy finish to compliment the overall design. Project Highlight The Acrylic based Dekton work surfaces are an undoubtable highlight of this project, utilised in the blue-veined finish called Trance. Great care has been taken to match joins, especially around the sink and windowsill area. Here a Quooker boiling water tap is also present, chosen in a Chrome finish, and equipped with the Flex pull-out hose. The End Result This project highlights the amazing capabilities of our complete installation option, transforming the former layout into a spacious open-plan area. Designer Alistair has also created an exceptional design to incorporate the requirements and desirables of these clients. If you are considering a similar kitchen transformation, arranging a free appointment with one of our expert designers may be the best place to start.

Inspiration for a large traditional single-wall eat-in kitchen in Melbourne with medium hardwood floors, a double-bowl sink, white cabinets, stainless steel benchtops, glass sheet splashback, stainless steel appliances and with island.

Recent kitchen design with copper glass splash back is really stunning against the Mackintosh in frame Ivory kitchen units. This large family kitchen in Lyndhurst features LED lighting underneath the wall units to really highlight this beautiful copper splash back. The granite worktop is Indian ivory chosen to contrast well with the copper splash back, Blanco sink and Franke tap. All appliances are Neff electrical with the exception of a gas hob. For great functionality without interrupting the stunning stretch of splash back pop up sockets are integrated into the worktop. Photos by Lia Vitonne

The team from WCM not only turned the Bakers’ unwanted breakfast room into a dream kitchen with new handmade and handpainted units and oak worktops but added a unique touch – a mirror to act as a splashback to the Aga. They also made shelving for the hall to turn it into a much more functional area.
