Kitchen island bench.
As a standard feature in most modern kitchens, an island bench is both a functional and practical feature within the space. Positioned at the heart of the kitchen, an island bench serves as a space to prep meals, connect and converse, playing a central role in everyday life. Coupled with an eye-catching design a kitchen island bench becomes one feature of the home you simply can’t ignore.

Butler’s pantry.
A butler’s pantry can deliver excellent space, convenience, and practicality in a busy kitchen. Also known as a scullery or serving pantry, this space serves as a versatile hub for storage, preparation and even a touch of luxury. You can organise everything in your butler’s pantry from crockery and cutlery to small countertop appliances and hosting accessories. Lorraine Denisenko from MyChoice Design Studio Norwest says, “A butler’s pantry is the ultimate space-saver and well worth considering for any kitchen design.”
Lighting.
In today’s kitchen, you have a vast choice of lighting options, including efficient LED lighting, pendant lighting, wall-sconces and under-cabinet strip lighting. Each serve a different role, from practical overhead task lighting for cooking and cleaning to subtle strip lighting in cupboards to make finding the good dinnerware easy. “To get the most out of your kitchen lighting, combine task lighting with ambient pendant lights to create a warm and functional workspace,” said Lorraine.
Integrated appliances.
Hidden appliances are becoming more common in a modern kitchen design, creating a clean, minimalist and seamless look. Appliances including refrigerators and dishwashers blend seamlessly hidden behind custom cabinetry panels to match the rest of the kitchen cabinetry.
Durable stone benchtops.
Commonly seen in most modern kitchens, a stone benchtop provides a luxurious feel that stands up to daily wear including stains, scratches, and moderate heat. With a wide range of premium stone benchtops from suppliers including Caesarstone and Cosentino, in an array of thicknesses and cuts to select from, you can quickly elevate your large kitchen surface from understated to impressive.
