KITCHENS MANDURAH

MODERN KITCHENS 

Sleek, sexy and sophisticated, the modern kitchen is designed to keep clutter to a minimum.

When we think of modern kitchen designs, we often think of frameless cabinets, sleek and simple hardware, strong horizontal lines and a lack of ornamentation. With the natural beauty of the materials shining through.

Reflective surfaces and high-tech materials are central to the most modern kitchen.

A few elements of industrial style might be mixed in, such as an unfinished concrete wall.

INDUSTRIAL KITCHENS

If there is one style that celebrates humility, practicality and affordability, then it is surely the Industrial Style!

What started out as an efficient work environment several decades ago soon morphed into a distinct style that made its way slowly from functional loft-style homes to expansive villas and contemporary penthouses.

Cutting across generations, it is a trend that never seems to die down!

And there are few places in the house which revel in the beauty and unassuming ease of the industrial style as much as the kitchen.

While some blend contemporary aesthetics with industrial elements, others stick to the classic, loft-inspired design. 

Shaker Kitchens

Put simply, Shaker is a style of kitchen cabinets that have a very simple and minimalist design.

Shaker style kitchen units will have flat centre panels, little to no ornamentation or decoration and will typically be made of wood with straight edges.

They place minimalist design and functionality as its focus with lots of symmetry and very little detailing or ornamentation.

Hampton Kitchens

The Hamptons kitchen design incorporates a coastal, beach style with a touch of class.

Hamptons kitchens are inspired by the peaceful seaside lifestyle of The Hamptons of Long Island, New York. Hamptons style kitchens are designed and built to last, reflecting a classic, coastal feel.

Rustic Kitchens

“Worn,” “distressed” and “rough hewn” may not be the first words that come to mind when we think of kitchens.

But today, rustic kitchens rival the classic white kitchen in popularity — thanks to their timber, stone, brick, vintage appliances and fireplaces.

Rustic kitchens are in huge demand and although some are less-rustic than others, rustic kitchens always feature distressed or reclaimed wooden materials such as flooring, cabinets, wood ceiling and kitchen hoods.

Coastal Kitchens

A key element of the coastal kitchen style is soothing colors like cool shades of blue, sea foam green, light beige and soft pinks to create a coastal vacation mood.

Whites and creams are predominant base colors, contributing to a color scheme both bright and lively while relaxing at the same time.

You will see wicker seating and casual elements such as fabrics and flooring that can stand up to wet clothing. Window treatments should be light to allow for maximum sunlight. Accessories and backsplashes tiles will feature beach themes or sea life features.

Classic Kitchens

Classic kitchen style is defined by white or cream kitchen cabinets, simple architectural details and black accents.

It’s a simple and clean look that offers homeowners a blank slate that they can personalize with decorative elements such as lighting, furniture and traditional and eclectic touches as they see fit; to express personality and style.

Ecletic Kitchens

The eclectic style is defined as ideas and objects taken from a broad and diverse range of sources.

This is the perfect style for homeowners that are also eclectic.

Why commit to a singular style if you don’t want to?

You can mix and match for your own kitchen style in any way that suits you.

Take your ideas for your kitchen, and combine touches of modern and rustic styles, and add finishing touches that you love, from artwork to patterns and colors.

Farmhouse Kitchens

Farmhouse kitchens are warm and inviting, offering functionality and comforting traditional style.

Features will include open shelving, wide sinks, and wood flooring.

A big kitchen table is another traditional feature.

Country colours range from primary red, yellow, and blue to aged tones of cream and pale yellow.

Mixing and matching of more than one color is common.

Lighting will usually be simple and vintage inspired.

Cottage Kitchens

Cottage kitchens are inspired by smaller kitchens of the past and designed to feel cosy and unpretentious.

Beadboard, soft colors, vintage hardware, wood floors, colorful accents and curtains will infuse your kitchen with cottage comfort.

It allows for eclectic collectibles and antiques as design accents.

Appliances can be in white or retro colours.

Mediterranean Kitchens

Flared hoods, hand-painted tiles, warm wood cabinets, beamed ceilings and arched cooking alcoves, are just some of the features that will turn a kitchen into Mediterranean style.

Lively colours such as blues and greens are common for walls, with other colors used as accents.

Artistic tile work is common, and a terracotta or mosaic backsplash is a feature.

Floors may be hardwood and walls often feature soothing, natural colors.

Cabinets are often constructed from high-quality woods like cherry; they can be left in their natural state; or stained or painted, to add a colourful element to the design.

 French Country Kitchens

French country kitchens will have a balance between, earthy, traditional and chic.

Signs of wear or patina on surfaces are acceptable.

The colors are warm, fabrics will feature rich tones of russet, cobalt, and ochre, cabinets can be warm toned wood or sleek white; and ceramic accessories will be right at home.

Mustard yellow and warm reds are characteristic, as are farm animals mixed in with the decor.

Rough-hewn textures, copper pots, and rush seats add the final touches.

Custom Kitchens

With custom kitchen cabinetry, you can build those dead-spaces into unique drawers or slide-out cabinets that perfectly use the unusual space in a design that is both functional and convenient for you, the chef.

Traditional Kitchens

Traditional kitchens are defined by their details, which can include arches, decorative moldings, and corbels, raised-panel cabinets, a mix of antique finishes and furniture-like turned legs — even a chandelier.

Whether they have a classic Australian or old-world flavor, they still carry the stamp of their owners’ personal style.

Traditional kitchens are all about balance and symmetry.

Nothing is too loud nor too modern.

Every element should complement the next.

Traditional kitchens often feature classic elements such as white marble countertops, coffered ceiling, and traditional cabinet styles.

Craftsman Kitchens

Craftsman style still harkens back to its origins as a reaction to the popularity of mass-produced consumer products.

It places an emphasis on natural materials, rich woods, handcrafted tiles, old-fashioned faucets, fine craftsmanship, sturdy proportions, built-ins; and well-made materials with classic simplicity.
