Contemporary kitchen with clever storage ideas

Chris Yacoubian

Perrie Designs used a warm green, grey cabinet colour, Dulux Winter Terrace with strong Arabescato Borghini Stone by Talostone, with warm Brushed Nickel finishes to create a kitchen that exudes livable luxury and modern Australian coastal design.

This beautifully curated open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area embodies a seamless blend of Coastal and Japandi aesthetics, creating a warm yet functional space for a young family. The kitchen is minimalistic yet practical, featuring sleek white cabinetry, natural wood accents, and open shelving that showcases thoughtfully selected ceramics and glassware ready for everyday use. A neutral palette of soft whites, warm beiges, and organic textures continues to enhance the sense of calm and simplicity. The woven bar stools at the kitchen island echo the texture of the grass pendant lights suspended over the dining table, reinforcing a cohesive natural aesthetic. The same earthy tones and organic materials are carried through in the Jude rugs, adding warmth and grounding the space. Designed for everyday functionality, the kitchen incorporates ample storage, durable finishes, and an efficient layout, ensuring ease of use for a busy family. Subtle decorative elements—like linen textiles, handcrafted pottery, and soft lighting—infuse the space with an inviting, lived-in charm. This harmonious blend of Scandinavian minimalism and Japanese wabi-sabi principles results in a serene, stylish, and family-friendly home, where beauty meets purpose effortlessly.

Sink run in an L shaped oak shaker style kitchen with three orange pendant lights hanging above. The cabinets are painted in Farrow & Ball Ammonite. The butler's sink goes well with engineered quartz worktop. The raised breakfast bar has an oak worktop that adds warmth. The flooring add a quirkiness to the kitchen. Charlie O'Beirne

This full-sized pantry is the ultimate storage for all your dried and fresh produce as well as herbs, spices, tinned and bottled goods. Everything has a dedicated space that’s been specially designed for its purpose. Heavy, bulky items below and lighter items, within easy reach on upper open shelves, or nestled inside individually crafted racks so they can be seen and not forgotten.

For the kitchen we designed bespoke cabinetry to fit the galley style and maximise the use of space to best effect.

The original kitchen in this home came with vintage flour bins and a safe! the gorgeous but very old duchess that separated the dining room from the kitchen was removed, creating this new open plan space. In keeping with the traditional style, we chose a shaker style cupboards and handles, and white subway tiles. Open shelving and glass cabinets show off a display of collected antiques and ceramics, the pretty colours complimenting the white kitchen. The warm grey of the Caesarstone bench top gives this traditional style kitchen the modern edge. In Designers Guild fabric, the roman blind was installed a year after the dining curtains were hung and the Laura Ashley crystal pendants were the finishing touch to this kitchen.

A small kitchen designed around the oak beams, resulting in a space conscious design. All units were painted & with a stone work surface. The Acorn door handles were designed specially for this clients kitchen. In the corner a curved bench was attached onto the wall creating additional seating around a circular table. The large wall pantry with bi-fold doors creates a fantastic workstation & storage area for food & appliances. The small island adds an extra work surface and has storage space.
