Fabulous Kitchens

From bold pops of colour to curved silhouettes and wooden textures, here are some creative and attainable design ideas for your next kitchen renovation.

Statement accents

Breathe life and personality into your kitchen with these distinct design accents.

Eye-catching marble: The dramatic veining on this lofty backsplash draws the eye and steals the show.

Geometric patterns: Sporting geometric, patterned tiles in a random sequence, this unique backsplash is almost reminiscent of a Cubist artwork.

Perfect match: Our eyes make a beeline for this Spanish-inspired backsplash, which is nicely matched with the terrazzo island top for a cohesive colour palette.

Moody gradients: We're loving the moody mix of blue hues in this cooking zone, complemented nicely by the mosaic island top.

What is a countersplash?

We've all heard of the backsplash, but how about the countersplash? This term refers to a backsplash and countertop clad in the same surface slab, with a seamless. transition between the two. Not surprisingly, it's catching on for its streamlined appearance.

Eat-in kitchens

For a multifunctional kitchen that maximises its space, consider integrating a dining zone, be it with a large island, a banquette corner or a classic dining table.

Table extension: From quick family meals to gatherings with distant relatives and even meetings with colleagues, this elongated table rises to all occasions.

Open bar: Set against a dazzling geometric backsplash, this open bar makes for an ideal breakfast nook, a hang-out spot for casual meals, or an intimate setting for drinks after dinner.
