Creating the ultimate in kitchen appeal luxe

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 design.

Plantation Homes shares their insights on what’s hot with kitchens and their fan favourites.

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 unique coloured splash backs, glass features and thick stone benchtops. These natural elements are the ideal foundation that stands the test of time. The Colorado is a perfect example where white is the glamourous foundation, with eye-catching tapware, black handles and a 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 essential items stored and stacked at an arm’s length and organised in its place.

As the secondary kitchen, The Butler’s Pantry may have a dishwasher, microwave and even a second oven or hotplate. Ideal for storing larger items which may not be used all the time, such as your air fryer or slow cooker.
