When these owners were building their home ten years ago they had high hopes everything would turn out exactly as they wanted. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case with the kitchen and they’ve spent the last few years waiting to renovate it.
‘I wouldn’t point fingers and I’d say it was as much our fault as it was anyone’s because at that stage we were at the end of our tether with the house build and didn’t pay enough attention to the kitchen,’ explains the owner. ‘It took so long to put in and really dragged on for months. While the guy was a great craftsman he wasn’t a designer and it lacked those careful considerations that make a kitchen function. It never felt fully finished and wasn’t enjoyable to work in.’
This time around the couple were much more cautious about who they worked with and spent some time researching kitchen designers.
‘In the end I found out about Interior360 through my sister and from our first visit to their showroom we were impressed. They managed the kitchen from start to finish and were meticulous about every detail. The professionalism was outstanding and very different to what we had experienced before.’
Working with designer Neil Corr, the owners wanted a contemporary shaker-style kitchen with plenty of points of interest and design features. And, given the poor performance of the previous kitchen, excellent functionality was crucial.
