Dark Decadence Kitchen by Kitchens by Design

This project was a deeply personal reimagining of a home. The kitchen is a space designed to feel immersive and expressive — a retreat that reflects the vision of both owners.

Designer Michelle Gillbanks of Kitchens By Design became involved in this project from day one. The clients were searching for the right designer who could bring their dream to life. With lots of great ideas between them, Michelle offered guidance on the blend of materials and with thoughtful communication brought together a shared vision.

"At the heart of this transformation is a kitchen that commands attention — a space where form and function are perfectly balanced. Floor-to-ceiling band-sawn timber veneer cabinetry, finished in a deep grey wash, brings both drama and warmth” says Michelle.
