Nick and Rie wanted to up lighten and modernise their tired kitchen space without compromising on storage and functionality. Their outdated kitchen had cream coloured cabinetry & terracotta tiles on the floor. It was given a stunning black and white makeover by Kitchen Mania! The black handles on white cabinetry are a bold statement and the kitchen is finished with an engineered stone bench top with a waterfall end. The geometric tiles and subtle timber elements in the lighting and stools complement this kitchen perfectly. BEFORE AFTER Let us know what you think!

What an amazing transformation! I LOVE those cabinets!

Your client putting trust in you was the right decision! amazing transformations! Love the natural light in particular as thats a great spot for a post gym pump flex for a good selfie!

Our clients came to us with a kitchen that hadn't been touched since the early 70s and required a complete renovation which included opening it up to the dining and lounge areas to create an open living plan with great flow to the exterior. The home also was surrounded by stunning views that the clients wanted to maximise. Before: The main working bench faced out to the view, and was on the large island, with a porcelain bench being a hard-wearing durable choice. This was combined with a granite feature benchtop which provided a focal point as you walked into the space, and played with different heights to break up the large surfaces. Extra storage in the form of toe kick drawers were added to the design, and storage was maximised to full height. After: Corners are notoriously tricky storage areas, and getting easy access to these requires a good product. My favourite is the Hafele Le Mans unit and in this kitchen project it provides a great alternative solution to having to reach into those dark spaces. If you need some extra space to stash your cash....hide the cookies from the grandies, or storage over sized platters, a hidden toekick draw is the answer. The Blum system is smooth running and can take a good amount of weight. After: The theme for the space was industrial luxury, and the black cabinetry with the aged brass handles and tapware created a moody, yet time-honoured aesthetic. We are also excited to share that this kitchen is a Finalist in the2022 TIDA New Zealand Kitchens Awards Check out the entire project here, as well as a walk-through!
