WESTMERE, AUCKLAND

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.
