Woven Warmth - Northcote kitchen renovation
This Northcote kitchen was thoughtfully refreshed within its existing location, with the layout refined to better support everyday living and entertaining. A calm white foundation is balanced by warm timber-look cabinetry, woven rattan detailing and brushed brass accents, creating a welcoming kitchen that feels naturally connected to the adjoining dining and living spaces.
LOCATION:
Northcote, Auckland
SCOPE:
A complete kitchen renovation within the existing space, including a revised layout, bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances, generous wine storage and a cohesive material palette.
DESIGN CHALLENGE:
Refining the layout to incorporate an integrated fridge and freezer, DishDrawers and a substantial wine fridge, while maintaining an open, uncluttered feel and ensuring the kitchen worked cohesively with the wider living area.
DESIGN RESPONSE:
The cabinetry was carefully planned to integrate the appliances and provide practical storage without visually overwhelming the room. Crisp white cabinetry keeps the kitchen feeling light and restrained, while timber-look overhead cupboards with woven rattan inserts introduce warmth, texture and a distinctive focal point. Brushed brass handles, tap and sink add a refined layer of detail, helping the kitchen connect naturally with the timber furniture and finishes throughout the open dining and living space.
