Contemporary Style Kitchen from Wonderful Kitchens

Smooth curves on the island benchtop and cabinet ends create clean lines of symmetry, giving this kitchen from Wonderful Kitchens its contemporary style.

The owners of this wonderfully spacious, contemporary kitchen are incredibly happy with its open-plan design, neatly contained storage area and easy access. Their old kitchen was cramped, with limited storage and preparation space. Wonderful Kitchens' interior designer Richard Louch transformed the former room to its current highly desirable status, with some clever design ideas and high-quality finishes. The open-plan design harmoniously integrates the living room and kitchen, both physically and visually, allowing for easy access to and from both rooms. The owners can now appreciate the abundant space this kitchen offers, with the kitchen flowing gently on to the garden.

The timber flooring and window frames add a natural warmth, counterbalancing the cool look of the numerous stainless-steel appliances featured throughout. Glass-panelled doors conveniently placed at the front of the kitchen fold back onto a green luscious garden, giving the owners a beautiful view to appreciate while entertaining guests or when washing up.

Smooth complementary curves on the island benchtop and cabinet ends create clean clines of symmetry, complemented by the large stainless-steel rangehood and refrigerator. An integrated dishwasher and microwave have been neatly contained within the kitchen so the owners have plenty of storage and preparation space. The large curved granite benchtop can be used for preparing food and can seat both guests and family members who want to keep the cook company. An abundance of cupboards all strategically placed near the preparation area ensures the owners have all their essential kitchen appliances close at hand while preparing and cooking a meal. This wonderfully spacious, modern kitchen combines practicality with elegance to create a fantastic kitchen for its owners to cook, entertain and eat in.

The kitchen was designed by Richard Louch and built by Wonderful Kitchens, 127 Fairford Road, Padstow NSW 2211, Phone (02) 9772 2988.
