Bold Two-Tone Kitchen Renovation in Mentone
This Mentone kitchen renovation started with a strong point of view. Two tones, one island and a colour combination bold enough to define the space. The homeowners wanted a kitchen that looked intentional from every angle and worked as well as it photographed.
We delivered a galley layout anchored by a parallel island. Light grey handleless base cabinetry sits beneath deep French Navy uppers with brass knobs. The contrast is confident without being loud. Brass globe pendants above the island tie the two tones together.
What makes this kitchen work:
- Two-tone cabinetry pairing Laminex Oyster Grey base cabinets with French Navy uppers in Absolute Matt
- Quantum Quartz Concrete Matt benchtop with mitred edge on both the island and perimeter run
- Undermount sink with a gooseneck pull-out mixer on the island
- Horizontal stacked white tile splashback from bench to underside of the upper cabinets
- Clear glass globe pendants with brass fittings above the island
- 90cm gas cooktop with an integrated Bosch under-cabinet rangehood
- Open shelf niche at the end of the island for cookbooks
- Light hardwood timber flooring connecting the kitchen to the open-plan living space
