LONG BAY, AUCKLAND

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.
