What is your company’s design philosophy/ approach? Beautifully crafted spaces designed by us and styled by the home owner. Tailormaking their spaces by listening to their needs and dreams so they can really enjoy their home and the moments that matter to them most.

What elements should every kitchen include and why?

It is difficult to choose one element. Adequate storage and ample counter space are very important, but proper lighting is essential for a well-functioning kitchen. It provides visibility while cooking and creates a bright and welcoming space for entertaining. A combination of ambient, task and accent lighting is required.

How do you go about achieving a timeless kitchen design?

Shaker-style or modern flat panel doors with clean lines work well with a neutral colour palette that includes shades of white and grey or natural wood tones. These colours provide a clean and timeless design and give you the opportunity to add a pop of colour to your splashback, wall or décor that can be changed easily as trends evolve.

What is your favourite current kitchen trend? Curved counters with panelling are our 2023 hot trend!

What is the one thing you love about your kitchen space?

It’s a kitchen that is not just a place to cook meals, but also a place where family and friends come together to cook, eat and socialise! It really is the heart of my home!
