Driven by the vision of showroom manager, Lauren Naor, our breathtaking new display kitchen has been stealing the attention of everyone who walks through our showroom doors since March. So, we thought it was about time we shared all the exciting details of the kitchen everyone wants to copy and paste into their new home.

“This kitchen epitomises quiet luxury, combining modern curves with warm, classic tones,” says Elizabeth Kind, national product manager.

What was once a separate pantry, kitchen and laundry display, has been transformed into a beautifully interconnected space, now complete with a butler’s pantry and mudroom too. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously curated, it showcases not just a stunning range of products, but an opportunity to see a kitchen with effortless flow, function and integration.

The layout, designed by, Damian Cruickshank from our national design team, has been inspired by some of our most popular Reserve collection kitchens - including the Legano, Aegean and Valletta series. The space allows new home buyers to witness the ultimate in convenience, comfort and liveability.

On one side, the kitchen links directly to a laundry and mudroom - a feature that has surged in popularity and now appears in many of our contemporary floorplans. On the other side, it flows into a fully equipped butler’s pantry space, complete with separate walk-in pantry.

As you step into the new kitchen, the first things you’ll notice are the beautifully crafted cabinetry finishes, luxurious benchtops and premium appliances, but the real magic appears when you start interacting with the details.

Inside the cleverly designed storage zones, you’ll discover an innovative new range of Hettich hardware. Pantry and drawer fit outs, LED illumination and pull-out bins are among the many exciting ways we offer enhanced functionality and convenience in your kitchen.

This kitchen also features two striking new doors from Corinthian DoorsManhattan range. The curved BHAT 14G door is a perfect match for the soft curves of the island bench and overhead cabinetry - embracing one of the biggest interior trends of the moment.

To enhance the atmosphere even further, LED strip lighting sits beneath the overhead cupboards. We’ve used both warm and natural globes, so you can see firsthand how lighting temperature transforms a room.

All painted surfaces are Taubmans’ ’Cotton Ball’, creating a fresh, calming foundation. In the kitchen and butler’s pantry, the cabinetry blends Laminex ‘Refined Walnut’ in AbsoluteGrain with ‘Paperbark’ in AbsoluteMatt - a pairing that delivers both warmth and modern elegance.

We’ve featured stunning bronze cabinetry handles, but also included reverse-bevelled edges to the base cabinets, and 10mm overhang to the overhead cabinetry, demonstrating a handle-less look.

For the kitchen benchtop and splashback, we’ve chosen Zenith Surfaces’ creamy, marbled, ‘Perla Venata’, a standout material that brings quiet luxury to the entire display.

Beautifully concealed Smeg appliances create a high‑end aesthetic, while side‑by‑side 600mm wall ovens and an induction cooktop deliver exceptional performance.

The Franke sinks feature brushed nickel mixers from Phoenix’s Nuage and Vask collections - offering customers an up‑close look at some of their newest releases.

In the mudroom, Surround by Laminex ‘Batten 100’ clads the feature wall. Unlike many builders, we offer full installation and painting of this product, making it a popular upgrade for families wanting stylish feature walls in their favourite rooms.

Underfoot, the entire space is finished with engineered timber flooring from Beaumont Tiles’ Enchant herringbone range, in ‘Sand’.

Our design showroom is open for browsing 7 days a week, and we’d love for you to experience this beautiful new kitchen in person. Walk through the space, open every drawer, test the features and imagine how your own home could feel.

Your dream kitchen might be closer than you think.
