1. Embracing Woodgrain Warmth

Woodgrain finishes are making a strong comeback, bringing warmth and natural beauty into kitchen spaces. Whether it’s light maple, warm oak, or rich walnut, incorporating woodgrain adds depth and a connection to nature. It’s a trend that reflects the growing desire for earthy, calming interiors grounded in natural materials.

2. Statement Powerpacks Apposed to Traditional Overhead Cabinetry

Say goodbye to traditional overheads. Feature powerpacks -sleek integrated units, with a surrounding statement shelf or splash are the new go-to. They offer a minimalist, modern aesthetic while still delivering everyday functionality. It’s a smart way to keep your kitchen feeling open and streamlined.

3. Larger “Entertainers” Island

Our latest kitchen designs are created with entertaining in mind - perfect for hosting large groups of friends and family. Featuring off-centre or completely clear island sinks, these layouts provide a spacious, uninterrupted workspace. We’ve also introduced deeper islands to create a grander, more expansive feel, complemented by wraparound seated overhangs that allow for extra seating and a more social kitchen experience.

5. Soft Curves and Organic Forms

Hard lines are softening. We’re seeing a rise in rounded benchtops, shelves and feature accents. Contributing to a space that feels relaxed, inviting, and effortlessly modern. Curves lend a softness that’s both luxurious and liveable.
