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.

DRH SHOWHOME, WARKWORTH

Taking cues from the sun-soaked elegance of Palm Springs, this David Reid Homes Warkworth showhome, with the kitchen—designed, manufactured, and installed by Fluid Interiors—delivers relaxed luxury with a mid-century modern twist.
The hero piece, a curved island clad in Colosseum Crystal White finger tiles, evokes poolside glamour while providing everyday functionality. The benchtops, in 30mm Trendstone Cala Eleganza, are softened at one end to enhance the kitchen’s flowing layout.
Cabinetry throughout features Berlin-profile Thermoform fronts in a fresh, matte white, offset with sleek negative detail handles. A warm copper penny round mosaic splashback curves seamlessly up the wall, providing a nod to retro design while staying grounded in modern materials.
Touches of brushed brass—including lip handles on tall units, a Waterware gold tap, and a Mercer brass sink—bring warmth and cohesion to the palette. Hettich soft-close drawer runners ensure the kitchen functions as beautifully as it looks.
This space is a celebration of form, texture, and timeless style—inviting you to slow down and soak up the sunshine, even indoors.
