The Deakin Classic: Fresh Kitchen

The starting point:
After years of overseas postings, our clients had returned to Australia, purchased their forever home, and were eager to make it their own… but the kitchen sat in dark opposition to their sunny outlook. It was dim, dated, and felt like a cave — not a place to live beautifully or host grandchildren.
The journey:
We designed the spatial plans, joinery, tile set out, lighting, and specified tapware, hardware, fixtures and furnishings. The result is literally night and day!
The investment:
Construction budget: $70K-$100K
Service: Interior Design
The destination:
A bright, fresh palette pairs with classic style for a kitchen that feels refreshing, welcoming, and full of character. The island and chairs are perfect for enjoying a cup of tea or hosting little ones.
