Before we get another round of kitchen designs, let’s flash back to the best kitchens from 2022 and take a closer look at the kitchen must-haves from each house.

Here's what The Block judge Darren Palmer has to say about his favourite things from each kitchen design.

House 1 - Tom and Sarah-Jane

"Tom and Sarah Jane won kitchen week with their kitchen design. Open and spacious, luxe and country with an island bench of continental proportions, the kitchen in House 1 was a playful mix of materials and coloured metallics. It met the contemporary luxe brief perfectly and was an all-round winner."

Every Kitchen Needs:

ILVE Majestic Cooktop and Rangehood "With the colour combinations available a kitchen can really be customised to highlight coloured enamel, or coloured metallics or both. Tom and Sarah Jane’s green and copper combo was an absolute win."

Metallic-coloured Fhiaba Fridges "If you have the space, a bank of Fhiaba fridges with the inclusion of the charcuterie fridge is a kitchen game changer. Even if you don’t have a load of space, there are many size and configuration options within the Fhiaba range that will let you bring a statement metallic colour into your own home as House 1 did with their copper finish."

House 2 - Rachel and Ryan

"With their contemporary country take on minimalism, Rachel and Ryan used a simple kitchen palette and really let their appliances make a bold design statement. Great handles, a simple door profile and a play on white on white, this kitchen was simplicity personified which is much harder to perfect than it appears."

Every Kitchen Needs:

ILVE Professional Freestanding Oven in Graphite "A modern take on a traditional freestanding cooker, this oven takes pride of place in terms of position, and function. A true cook’s inclusion with luxe appeal for a luxe market, the professional freestanding range also allows for customisation of colour making it adaptable as well as beautiful."

Fhiaba X-Pro Fridge Freezer + Wine Fridge combination. "With colours like titanium, satin silver, gold, pearl silver, and pearl white, there’s a spectrum of finishes from warm to cool, light to dark to suit any mood or style for your interior scheme. There’s also a huge bonus in functionality with Fhiaba products with their system focusing on food preservation. A perfect example is the stable environment provided for ice-cream to keep it always at the perfect serving temperature yet never allowing it to ice over. Visit your nearest Winnings showroom to see it for yourself."

House 3 - Sharon and Ankur

"Smeg Dolce Stil Novo appliances were the standout hero of Sharon and Ankur’s kitchen. Black and luxurious in form and high in function makes these appliances a real knockout."

Every Kitchen Needs:

Smeg 100cm Dolce Stil Novo Natural Gas Cooktop "With 1m of cooktop space it’s a cook’s dream and it looks slick to boot."

Zip HydroTap G5 Celsius Boiling Chilled and Sparkling Filtered All-In-One Tap "A tap isn’t just a tap when it serves boiling, chilled and sparkling water all in one. That’s not a tap, THIS is a tap."

Smeg 15cm Dolce Stil Novo Sommelier Drawer "An honourable mention goes to the sommelier drawer, a notable luxury inclusion fit for an entertainer’s kitchen."

House 4 - Dylan and Jenny

"Another winning kitchen stacked full of functionality and luxury appeal was Dylan and Jenny’s country-classic style kitchen."

Every Kitchen Needs:

Blanco Single Bowl Undermount Sink with 2 Level Configuration "Big enough to fit in anything that won’t fit in your dishwasher, a large kitchen sink is an absolute must have for soaking and hand washing your large pans and dishes. When they look this good they’re an absolute must have."

Samsung Bespoke French Door Fridge "The modern appliances added the cherry on top to an already stellar colour and materials palette."

House 5 - Omar and Oz

"Dark and dreamy, Oz and Omar's kitchen in House 5 was chic, sleek and anything but meek. An absolute knockout with the most exclusive inclusion, everything was supersized and hyper functioned."

Every Kitchen Needs:

V-ZUG kitchen appliances "From the V-ZUG Combi-Steam Oven to the Coffee Center, the Fridge Freezer and the Wine Fridge and not to forget the absolutely stunning Natural Gas Cooktop—if you’ve got budget then you can’t look past V-ZUG."

The Galley Workstation "Not just a sink, it’s an entertainers inclusion to house serving plates, ice containers, drinks and more. The Galley is the ultimate in home entertaining food service and presentation."
