As the most highly energetic area in the family home, the kitchen is always abuzz with meal creation and consumption, sharing conversations to convene and collaborate. From the chaotic weekday breakfasts to the lazy weekend suppers, the kitchen is there to perform for the busiest of families.
While its highly purposeful function sets the benchmark, the kitchen is also the shining star in the home, with its tingling aesthetic appeal and beautiful shape and design.
Plantation Homes shares their insights on what’s hot with kitchens and their fan favourites.
Mixing materials
Whether you are after a light and bright kitchen or one that is more opulent and luscious, handpicking a mix of materials which is skews away from the mundane, is becoming a trend favourite.
Having a statement long island bench, with a stone and a wood like finish makes the kitchen as a true entertainer’s paradise.
One Plantation Home design, the Valletta, features a show stopping kitchen that is like no other. It boasts a luxurious second-tier breakfast bar as an option, celebrating the oversized kitchen with its mix of light and dark hues as well as towers for wall ovens and microwaves. With cabinetry aplenty, The Valletta, oozes opulence and functionality.
The Valletta has a bountiful Butler’s Kitchen which then follows through to the statement kitchen. Beautifully designed and masterfully curated to create the ultimate entertainer’s culinary paradise.
Getting the cool vibe on
Nothing says luxury than an all-white kitchen with a peppering of gold, copper or black tapware. White is timeless, classic and elegant and is back on trend. Did it ever leave?
With a warm white kitchen, you can offset it with glass, funky coloured splash backs and stone benchtops. It is the ideal foundation that stands the test of time.
The Colorado is a perfect example where white is the glamourous foundation to allow the eye-catching tapware, black cupboard and drawer handles and mosaic splash back to be celebrated.
Must have Butler’s pantry
A Butler’s Pantry, which was once a ‘maybe’ item, is now a must have. Out of sight, the Butler’s Pantry is the place to prepare meals, with all your essentials items stored and stack at arm’s length and kept organised and in its place.
“As the secondary kitchen, The Butler’s Pantry may have a dishwasher, microwave and even a second oven and hotplate, as well as having additional storage for the larger items which may not be used all the time such as your air fryer or slow cooker.
Double the fun
Kitchens are fast-becoming serious culinary zones, often featuring double ovens, inbuilt coffee makers and state-of-art appliances. Look no further than The European, complete with oversized island bench, double oven and endless storage and cabinetry to make any budding chef squeal with delight.
The kitchen continues to evolve as a statement piece in a home – its sleek look, stylish design, no wonder it is called the heart of the home.
