Fresh approach
Crisp white cabinetry with a high-gloss finish, and
a pale blue glass splashback enliven this new
Clive Champion kitchen
There’s an element of magic involved
in good kitchen design. How else can you
explain the way a well-designed kitchen
can appear twice the size of the original?
This was exactly what happened with
this kitchen renovation designed and
manufactured by Kitchen & Home by
Clive Champion.
Director Clive Champion says the
immaculate home had a very tired kitchen
that was well past its use-by date.
“The original kitchen was cluttered
with lots of cabinets, doors and handles,

so we took a much more streamlined
approach to the design. We introduced
deep flush drawers with touch openings
to ensure a sleek, uncluttered line. And
we gave the lacquered cabinetry a bright
white gloss finish that helps to keep the
entire room light and airy.”
Caesarstone Nougat benchtops also
help to lift the room visually, as does a
pale blue backpainted glass splashback.
“The splashback introduces a touch of
colour that co-ordinates and balances the
rest of the living space,” says Champion .

The design team also transformed the
existing pantry, enlarging the space and
introducing German laminates to give it a
fresh, new look.
“With the right design and choice of
finishes, the entire kitchen seems to have
doubled in size,” says Champion.

based in Cheltenham, Vic, offers a full
