KIND Kitchens recently had the pleasure of designing, manufacturing, and building a custom kitchen for a pair of empty nesters who had downsized to a serene townhouse by the ocean. With a narrow footprint but abundant natural light, the challenge was to create a kitchen that felt open and minimal, yet delivered clever, hardworking storage solutions.

Working closely with the clients through several design iterations and collaborating through a series of meetings to ensure every detail was considered, KIND delivered a kitchen that not only met their needs but elevated their lifestyle. Much of this success was made possible by the hardware and fittings supplied by Wilson & Bradley (wilbrad.com.au), a trusted partner whose products continue to set the benchmark for quality and innovation.

From the outset, storage efficiency was a top priority. Wilson & Bradley’s hardware made it possible to maximise every centimetre. A pull-out pantry next to the cooktop provides quick access to everyday items, while wide, custom-built drawers paired with inner drawer systems give everything a designated place: the cutlery, plates, cups, tea towels, and even daily vitamins.

The corner cabinet, fitted with a kidney pull-out unit, ensures that everyday prep items are always within easy reach. Wilson & Bradley’s range is built to support considered design decisions, giving KIND designers the tools to create kitchens that are intelligent, organised, and efficient.

Beyond their product quality, Wilson & Bradley’s ease of service and comprehensive offering streamline the design and build process for KIND. With reliable lead times and a wide catalogue of contemporary solutions, the collaboration allows the team to focus on crafting bespoke designs, knowing the hardware will deliver both performance and longevity for clients.

The island in this project reflects that synergy. Designed as both a prep space and a social hub, the back cabinetry doubles as a sleek bar, organised with storage for drinks and glassware. A pantry unit in the laundry space nearby adds even more duality. Functioning as a dry goods pantry on one side and a home for cleaning appliances on the other, it features deep drawers that keep everything neatly organised.

Visually, the kitchen strikes the right balance between minimalism and refinement. High-gloss 2PAC cabinetry reflects the natural light, while a stone benchtop with Calacatta-inspired veining adds subtle elegance. The mirrored splashback amplifies light and creates the illusion of a larger space—an intentional design choice that pairs perfectly with the uncluttered layout.

Ultimately, this project showcases how the right partnerships translate into exceptional outcomes. With the support of Wilson & Bradley’s innovative range, KIND was able to deliver a kitchen that strikes a perfect balance between storage efficiency, function, and visual harmony.

For the clients, it is more than just a new kitchen – it is a reflection of their new chapter. One that embraces simplicity, organisation, and the joy of entertaining by the coast.
