Mature Kitchen Upgrades Steeped in Detail

Our expertise was called upon to deliver some finishing upgrades for this modern white kitchen in Freeman’s Bay. In upgrading this existing kitchen, BoxMakers’ role covered the benchtop, island, and of course, some custom cabinetry.

The first order of business was the kitchen island, which featured an incredibly mature blend of Melteca’s Blackened Ash Organic finish and Forté’s Ebony Rustic Planks. This gives a layered, tactile, and storied appearance that divulges detail to those with a keen eye. Capping it off is Consentino’s Dekton Rem benchtop, whose hurried streaks of stormy veins gently grace the soft white face – a choice pairing for this elegant white kitchen.

Behind it, BoxMakers carefully devised and installed a fridge cabinet – a simple yet effective white shell that handily covers and complements any appliance. We also installed a hidden bin, from Fit NZ’s Simplex series, making waste concealment even more convenient.

Opposite the island, we fashioned a standalone kitchen cabinet, cut and measured perfectly to seamlessly integrate with the finished kitchen height. It features glossy Arctic Ice from Bestwood, combined with the same Ebony Planks found on the island, and adorned with Mardeco’s Kitchen Cup handles. Even more interesting is its internals, which features a sneaky two and a half drawer arrangement with all-Häfele components.

Stretching across the kitchen is the pièce de resistance, in the form of the benchtop. BoxMakers installed Prime Panels’ Papamoa series – a subtly speckled slab in a matured shade of white.

The combination of light and dark elements creates a dynamic sense of contrast in this kitchen, but one thing is for certain – every new addition adds both elegance and maturity.
