Key Design Features
- Cabinetry & Colour Choices:
- Style: Black wood grain custom cabinetry that provides a bold, textured backdrop. Although solid in colour, the wood grain texture adds depth, creating visual interest while maintaining a clean look.
- Colour Focus: Careful attention was given to the colour palette, choosing tones that resonate with the mid-century era. This included earthy and muted shades that contrast with the dark cabinetry.
- Bench Tops & Splashback:
- Material: Caesarstone Alpine Mist for the bench tops, providing a light, sleek surface that balances the darker cabinetry.
- Splashback: A glass splashback was chosen to add a reflective quality, enhancing the sense of space while staying true to the minimalist mid-century design.
- Furniture Integration:
- Dining Table: A distinctive feature of this kitchen is the integration of a purchased dining table with black sleigh legs. It was custom-attached to the kitchen cabinetry, creating a seamless blend between the dining and kitchen areas. This feature adds a unique and practical mid-century touch to the overall design.
- Design Concept:
- The emphasis was on creating a stylish and functional space that pays homage to mid-century modern design. Every choice, from textures to colours, aimed to evoke the 1950s while providing modern-day usability.
- Accents & Accessories:
- Warm wood tones in the open shelving contrast beautifully with the darker elements, reflecting mid-century trends.
- The exposed brick and light wood elements provide a warm contrast to the sleek finishes, grounding the design with an inviting feel.
Outcome
Alicia and Heath’s kitchen is a standout mid-century modern space that seamlessly combines retro aesthetics with contemporary function. The careful integration of furniture and smart use of textures and colours results in a kitchen that feels both nostalgic and fresh, making it a perfect fit for their Strathpine home.
