Kitchen Renovation
A young family wanted the most functionality out of their new kitchen at a reasonable budget. It was important to keep the mahogany dining table and chairs which had been in the family for a couple of generations, but the worn velvet damask upholstery was replaced with fuschia-coloured leather. Plenty of storage for both cooking and children's activity books were important as was using resistant materials - hence the choice of porcelain floors imitating aged wood.
The countertops and built-in sink are concrete and the splashback in cement tiles while the wall along the bench is covered in a wallpaper that joins forces with the chairs to add colour and excitement to what was to be the most frequented room in the apartment.
