Took an old badly designed kitchen and turned it into a light welcome space. This kitchen has no windows so the transformation had to make it look light bright and have grocery storage and drawers. Made the nook a feature.

Old nook was not a welcome space to sit at with the cupboards hanging from the ceiling. And that big ceiling filler in a light colour was not appealing at all

Old dark kitchen with huge light ceiling fill

Oven and micro just didn’t work.

Overall just not nice with dark counters and cupboards.

New with counter lighting

Undercounter lighting was added

Open shelves to decorate

Open shelves to add decorative pops of colour for client

New stove 90cm with gas hob and electric oven

New stove and loads of drawers.

Scullery

New scullery with space for 3 machines. Double sink. Built in bin. Broom cupboard and for extra storage an internal drawer cupboard.

Cupboards and counter installed.

Not finished but you can see the nook is going to be big enough for 6 people and that strange angle oven is gone

Feature breakfast nook

Close up of the Caesarstone 60mm mitre nook. Still at counter height giving that extra counter space we never have enough of.

Grocery cupboard

The grocery cupboard with drawers. And the DB board is inside - not like in the old kitchen it was behind the fridge. Now easier to access. With shelves at the top for more storage.

Suggested materials:
  • Shaker doors in an Ivory white colour. Counter are Ocean Foam Ceasars   (Vanilla Kitchens, Edenvale. Gauteng. South Africa)
  • Floors were done in vinyl to finish the look.

      Thanks William. I was pretty happy with the end result. Client was amazed and the difference after being very unsure of the colour change I suggested. But was over the moon when his wife started to pack the new kitchen and could not fill all the cupboards.
