Always love an island. Well done.

It is a lot more modern and planned , but I'd take that as a bit of criticism .

To me , its too black , grey and white . Okay , maybe you'll add colour , but you have the warmth of the wooden floor , and the light is great , BUT there is that much grey that the wood almost clashes . The black taps are predictable , and are what you'd expect , but that makes it worse IMO .

At the very least , if it was my decision , I would have brought in some colour through the tiles/splashback , copper taps , a milder grey on the cupboard doors , and wooden venetians to bring in more warmth and reference the floor and feature light .

I like it and I love the splashback. I do think the gas cooktop looks bulky, induction would have looked more streamlined.

Thanks for your feedback! I really dislike brass tapware and the grey on the cupboards is not as dark as it appears in pictures. I also wouldn't like wooden Venetians there.

Amazing

I agree macyjean, I would definitely do induction if I could do it again!

Think it needs colour or at least something to say somebody lives here

Agreed K s, we will ahve some plants for colour and we haven't moved in yet so its a little barren!

A lovely finale, hope great food comes from it.
A lighter smaller lounge suite will lighten it up, when it’s ready for retirement.
U must be pleased.✅

Thanks Daphne. Agreed, we just brought what was from our previous home as the budget didn't allow for a new one but will definitely change at some stage in the future.

Quite pleased, the space is small but maximised to its full capacity (I believe).

Taste is personal and you’ll always get differing opinions, especially as photos on a screen distort. I love your backsplash btw. Practical design, however, is timeless. Well done you, excellent use of space 👍🏻

Thanks

I would prefer a lighter colour but its your kitchen so enjoy, i think youve done a great job with maximising space, i love an island, my favourite feature is the cookbook shelf abouve the window!

Thanks SLEAQ. That original pantry was really bad, it was a blind corner so you had to reach in with your whole arm to get to something!

love what you have done with in the renovation. Clever use of the areas and combining the new pantry into the space. The gas cooktop raised a question for me though. When I was doing my kitchen which had a gas cooktop I had to meet a minimum space requirement from the splashback wall behind the hob to the edge of the hob. There doesn't appear to be any distance between your hob and the splashback? Do you know if this requirement no longer exists?

Thanks Tracy. You're right that there's barely any gap. I'm not sure if the requirement is there but the flame clears the splash by a decent bit.

The kitchen people I went through definitely went through requirements with respect to distance from sink etc. so I'm sure if it was a requirement it would've been brought up? Can't say for sure though.

Wow lots of comments about the hobs. I’ve used both convection and gas and although convection is more streamed visually, I’d choose gas cooking over induction any day. Great choice and great kitchen.👍

Do really like the light gutting over island. Can I ask where you purchased it from?

Thanks Irene. It's from Beacon lighting and was called a Strix II LED Teak Pendant. They have them still but seems to have slightly changed as it's called Strix III.

kitchen looks so much better...my only criticism would be to invest in an electrician to rewire the TV cords to be out of sight and continue the streamlined look, well done

definitely Louise, lots of small things to still do.

Lovely kitchen! What did you use for the bench top?

Thanks Luisa. Stone benchtop. Was by stone ambassador and the finish is enchanted white.

Nice renovation, colour pallet used works beautifully.
