Great kitchen design is all about balance – be it dark tones set alongside lighter hues or sleek surfaces contrasted with semi-industrial finishes . Sometimes a kitchen has both these connections .
For this dramatic entertainer ’ s kitchen , the owners asked Nikki Rankin of Pepper Design to create a minimalist design that would match their contemporary , clean-lined home .
“ The home , by Chris Vandyke Designs , is in Port Douglas and we were regularly flying up to the site from Melbourne – so it was great to have an experienced builder like Nathan Verri on hand to oversee the work day to day .”
“ The owners fell in love with the + Artesio design from Poggenpohl , so it was up to us to blend this into the narrow , elongated space available ,” says Rankin .“ This included tucking part of the kitchen in behind a prominent blade wall in fair-faced concrete .”
For the cabinetry , Pepper Design chose highgloss white surfaces to frame the kitchen ’ s hero element – a dark wood splashback bisected by a run of stainless steel . This strip , another on the cabinetry and a slender metal display shelf together present a semi-industrial touch that connects with the concrete blade wall .
