Intensely Stunning

This small space had significant potential. The brief was to create a moody kitchen with strong contrast and a bold, dominant presence, while delivering on storage, functionality, and overall impact.


Despite the limited footprint, maximising storage was essential. A Space Tower pantry was specified, offering up to 30% more usable storage compared to traditional shelving. Toe-kick drawers were incorporated to utilise otherwise unused areas, and Legrabox drawers were selected for their full-sided design, allowing for maximum capacity without items spilling over.


Black was the client’s preferred colour choice; however, practicality was carefully considered. To reduce the appearance of fingerprints and dust, a subtle woodgrain finish was introduced. Black Timberland Melamine was selected, as its texture helps to disguise everyday wear while maintaining the desired aesthetic.


To provide contrast without being overly harsh, a Concrete Velvet benchtop was chosen. Paired with black handles, appliances, and sink, the palette creates a cohesive, striking, and sophisticated kitchen that delivers both visually and functionally within a compact space.
