Classic Meets Modern

The SMEG Freestanding Cooker and matching Canopy Rangehood are from the Portofino range, which is characterised by its classic Italian style. They’ve opted for a black finish for a more modern look, while the squared elements in the design break away from the traditional rounded edges that is typical of the farmhouse style.

The Blanco Subline Sink in a white finish is a nod to the farmhouse sink but they’ve opted for an undermount to maintain a continuous line along the countertop.

This understated, streamlined approach not only adds practicality suited for the modern household, but it also brings focus towards the provincial details on the surrounding cabinetry and island benchtop.

Warm Opulence

A touch of gold brings warmth and a subtle sense of opulence in the space. The Zip HydroTap in Brushed Gold complements the gold tones on the drawer handles and island benchtop. This precious metal perfectly punctuates the sage green and neutral tones within the overall colour scheme.

Mastering Materials

While they’ve selected modern appliances with neutral tones, Dyland and Jenny have introduced rustic, charming elements in their joinery and cabinetry. From the fluted glass and gold mesh on their cabinets, to the beautiful sage green that permeates the space, a careful consideration of materials and colours provides the perfect balance between traditional and contemporary elements.
