Nestled in this gorgeous home adorned with light-reclaimed brick cladding, this kitchen effortlessly blends rustic charm with a modern edge. The Aged Ash Melteca cabinets and sleek Caesarstone Snow benchtop create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Behind a discreet bifold door, a concealed bar area awaits, adding an element of surprise. Adjacent windows grace the walls of an airy scullery, bathing the space in natural light and establishing a seamless connection with both the kitchen and the outdoors. The back of the island introduces subtle thin v-groove detailing, contributing texture and visual allure.

Touches of brass and natural materials enhance the kitchen’s aesthetic, striking a harmonious balance between rural charm and contemporary design. Serving as the heart of this beautifully styled home, the kitchen effortlessly captures the essence of a rural lifestyle setting.

In this rural setting, the view is the focal point. The brief was to provide a large space to entertain guests and family while letting the home’s surroundings guide the design of the kitchen, where a cantilevered four-metre island provides a ‘perch’ from which to enjoy the stunning vistas. The use of only three materials – oak, quartzite, and stainless steel – and integrated appliances kept the design minimal to prevent any interruption from the view.

The final touches of soft lighting handles and finishes keep the space warm, practical, and uncluttered.

This project shows how selecting the right materials and thoughtful design can turn a kitchen into a bold, elegant, and functional space. By focusing on harmony, focal points, subtle accents, and effective lighting, we created a kitchen that is visually stunning and practical.

Sensa Sant Angelo Leathered Granite serves as the design’s centerpiece with its unique texture and striking appearance. Its deep, rich colors and intricate patterns set the tone for the kitchen. To complement this bold granite, Melteca Classic Oak and Prime Dezigna White cabinetry was selected. The Classic Oak adds a warm, natural element, while Dezigna White offers a clean, modern contrast. Together, creating a cohesive and inviting environment. The Genia-clad island is more than functional; it’s a statement piece. Its graceful curves draw attention and improve the kitchen’s flow, making it a focal point for gatherings and conversation. Brass accents add warmth and sophistication without overwhelming the space. Lo+Co Handles and ABI Interiors tapware introduce just the right amount of brass, enhancing the kitchen’s luxurious feel and complementing other design elements. LED accent and task lighting play a crucial role in highlighting the kitchen’s features. They delicately illuminate the splashback and other key areas, bringing the space to life and maintaining a balanced, inviting ambiance.
