MODERN KITCHEN DESIGN WITH FLUTED ISLAND AND SANT ANGELO GRANITE

This Long Bay kitchen renovation by Fluid Interiors demonstrates how premium materials and thoughtful cabinetry design can elevate a space. The result is a bold yet functional kitchen that perfectly balances aesthetics with practicality.

The hero of the space is the Sensa Sant Angelo Leathered Granite benchtop and splashback, known for its striking texture, deep tones, and dramatic veining. This bold stone sets the tone for the room and acts as the visual anchor of the kitchen.

Complementing the granite are custom cabinets in Melteca Classic Oak and Prime Dezigna White, offering a mix of natural warmth and crisp contrast. Together, these materials create a cohesive and inviting space that feels modern yet grounded.

A standout feature is the custom fluted curved island, constructed using Genia architectural panelling. This sculptural element softens the layout and enhances flow, turning the island into a functional centrepiece for entertaining and everyday living.

Brass accents, including Lo & Co handles and ABI Interiors tapware, introduce a refined warmth and tie in with the natural materials throughout. Integrated LED lighting brings everything to life, highlighting textures, enhancing functionality, and creating ambience across key areas.

From the kitchen and scullery to the laundry, study nook, and TV unit, this project reflects Fluid Interiors’ commitment to tailored cabinetry and timeless design.

A KITCHEN DESIGNED TO FRAME THE VIEW – CUSTOM CABINETRY BY FLUID INTERIORS

Set in the hills of Mangawhai, this beautiful home by Jeremy Chapman Architecture (JCA) was designed around the view — and the kitchen was no exception. The client’s vision was to create a generous, welcoming space to host friends and family, while keeping the design calm and understated to let the landscape speak for itself.

Working closely with the client and architect, Fluid Interiors designed, manufactured, and installed the kitchen and scullery cabinetry, focusing on simplicity, natural materials, and lasting quality. The four-metre cantilevered island provides a sculptural focal point and a place to sit and take in the surrounds. A palette of Marlin Grey quartzite, stainless steel, and white American oak in a vertical crown cut was chosen for its warmth and timelessness.

Every detail was thoughtfully resolved — from integrated appliances that blend seamlessly into the cabinetry, to the pocket door that conceals the scullery, adding function without interrupting the space. Soft lighting and natural textures keep the space feeling warm and grounded.

This kitchen is a quiet, elegant response to its location — one that feels effortless, yet every element has been deeply considered.

A KITCHEN INSPIRED BY HOSPITALITY — CUSTOM CABINETRY BY FLUID INTERIORS

Inspired by sleek commercial kitchens, boutique hotels, and stylish bars and restaurants, this Westmere kitchen combines modern design with warm, natural textures. Fluid Interiors worked closely with our clients to design, manufacture, and install custom cabinetry that reflected their vision and lifestyle.

The clean lines and steel-framed glass scullery create a sophisticated yet inviting space, perfectly suited for family living and entertaining. The American oak cabinetry features elegant grain that contrasts beautifully against durable granite benchtops. Above the breakfast bar, bespoke shelving filled with greenery softens the linear architecture, adding a refreshing, organic touch.

One of the standout features is the undercover outdoor area. The custom-made cabinetry, crafted from rough sawn cedar matching the home’s exterior cladding, integrates effortlessly with the surroundings. It conceals practical elements like a wine fridge, bins, and storage for wine glasses, towels, and rugs — combining style and function in an outdoor entertaining haven.
