Auckland
Located in the design hub of Normanby Road, Mount Eden, this 150 square metre Kitchens on Eden designer showroom features exhibits demonstrating clever uses of today’s products. It’s home to three designer kitchens and a designer bar, together with a vanity unit and bathroom set up.
Corina handpicked her showroom 18 months ago after working successfully from her rural property to be able to express her creative passion for design, her love of high quality products and her project coordination skills.
The Bar unit was intended to look like a piece of furniture that could stand alone. The reflective Codsworth Glass splashback in Resene Nero provides a sense of movement with the ripples in the imperfect finish. This is also added to, by the nonlinear lines of the Madagascar Pure Gloss Laminate that move the eye along the unit. The light reflection and texture adds dimension and a dark contrast to the bold Resene Lima finish. Looking into the showroom at night the unit glows from the white LED strip lights that are recessed into Resene Blackjack shelving and the green lights that complement the exterior creating a harmony of colours.
The colour palette for the traditional kitchen is subtle and pleasing, highlighting the traditional features. By keeping the cabinetry and tiles a subtle light colour it emphasises the attention to detail that has been crafted into the cabinetry doors and panels. Having two very contrasting and striking materials as the benchtop, Silver Wave Marble and Solid Yaka Timber, the palette needed to be considerate to the marble tones.
Further inspired by the natural marble and timber with their earthy veins, Resene Eighth Masala was applied to the walls and complemented with Resene Eighth Stack on the cabinetry which also brings out the Cathedral Glass. A special feature in this design is the sliding pantry doors which open the space up and creates a scullery area in the kitchen. On the interior the scullery walls are painted in Resene Sea Fog adding a fresh and light element to the kitchen as there is only artificial lighting in this area.
