This kitchen draws inspiration from the luxurious beachside homes of The Hamptons on Long Island, New York. Like Australian coastal living and sophisticated relaxation, the Hampton kitchen designs often feature Shaker-style cabinets, subway tile splashbacks, and beadboard panelling. The traditional design is both timeless and elegant. This makes them perfect for homeowners who appreciate a classic and enduring aesthetic. A light colour palette of soft blues, greens, greys and white for a calming coastal feel paired with a light stoned marble look completes this popular style.
HAMPTON
The NOW in kitchen design, the Contemporary style emphasises practicality, streamlining daily cooking and meal preparation. The functionality and simplicity of this luxury kitchen design make it ideal for those who value efficient space planning, convenience and embedding personality into the kitchen design. This style offers an avant-garde experience with bold colours, futuristic materials and making a bold statement. Ideal for homeowners who appreciate innovation and want a kitchen that showcases the latest design trends.
CONTEMPORARY
Industrial kitchen designs embrace a raw and utilitarian aesthetic prevalent in the 1950s New York warehouse conversion into housing—repurposed and recycled elements in architecture with exposed brick or concrete walls, metal accents, concrete floors, and open shelving. With a no-frills, warehouse-inspired look that offers durability and easy maintenance, this design philosophy is about strong, uncluttered lines focusing on a distinctive, bold look and simplicity.
INDUSTRIAL
This type of kitchen design is characterised by simplicity and less-is-more design philosophy. Key features of a minimalist kitchen design include a streamlined layout, clean, geometric lines with uncluttered surfaces and handleless cabinets. Smart technology is used when adding storage solutions to conceal kitchen necessities. It is perfect for people who prefer a clutter-free, sleek, and clean look. The colour palette is often monochromatic and celebrates the material characteristics.
MINIMALIST
The mid-century Modern style of the 1950s is the precursor of the Contemporary design style. Modern kitchen design philosophy is utilitarian with clean geometric lines. Design is functional and economical, using highly functional accessories and appliances. This style features flat-panel cabinetry, a mix of materials such as glass and metal, and is ideal for an open-plan layout. Embracing natural finishes and an earthy colour palette, the Modern style treats lighting, appliances, and accessories like works of art.
MODERN
This kitchen design draws inspiration from the elegance of Paris and the timeless, simple, rustic life of the French countryside. Cabinetry design is characterised by profiled doors in ornate shaker and heritage styles with decorative bronze, copper, or brass handles. Detailed corbels, rosettes, pilasters, posts, mouldings, and capping add to the timeless elegance of the Provincial style. Provincial kitchen designs feature elements like distressed wood, ornate details, and soft colour palettes, along with open shelving, farmhouse sinks, and decorative accents. It is a perfect style for homeowners looking for a kitchen with a rustic, romantic charm with a connection to the Parisian elegance and countryside.
PROVINCIAL
One of the more popular design styles, this Nordic-inspired approach to design celebrates the relationship to nature, accessible design, and celebrates local craft and craftsmanship. The subdued approach, high-quality materials and well-curated space take centre stage. Common elements in a Scandinavian kitchen design include natural materials, light wood, neutral colour palettes, and ample natural light. With its comfort-focus design, it promotes well-being and togetherness.
