Coastal Kitchen
Your Home and Garden|June 2019

This family beach-house kitchen was in dire need of a modern update, and a Kaboodle kitchen proved to be the perfect solution

Coastal Kitchen

How did you go about redesigning your kitchen? What were your priorities?

For me as an architect, the look and feel of the kitchen was important. For Lynette, the layout and the rearrangement of the fridge was important.

How did you choose the colours and finishes?

We first went through the range online, and then went to our local Bunnings store to take home samples. We made the final decision by a democratic vote with the whole family.

Did you redesign the cupboard configuration at all? If so, what modern updates did you add?

We redesigned the dark and light section of the island bench for better articulation, changed the overall size of the island bench to create more space, added LED strip lighting under the overhead cupboards, and to the underside of the island bench.

What other finishing touches did you add?
