Whether you’re doing it DIY or want support from start to finish, we’ve got flexible options to suit you.
What makes a Kitchen “Modern”?
Modern style kitchen designs are all about smart design, sleek finishes and easy flow. They are made for today’s busy lifestyles – stylish, clutter-free and seriously practical like this modern kitchen in Prahran.
Here’s what we recommend so you can achieve the look:
- Flat-panel or handleless cabinetry: Smooth, minimalist cabinetry doors that create a sleek and seamless look.
- Neutral colour palette: Whites, greys, blacks or light woodgrain finishes keep the kitchen open airy and timeless.
- Stone-look benchtops: Get that luxe feel without the high-end cost. These surfaces are stylish, durable, and perfect for families.
- Open-plan layouts: Let your kitchen connect with your living areas for a more spacious, welcoming feel.
- Clever storage solutions: Pull-out drawers, pantry units, and hidden compartments keep benchtops clear and your kitchen running smoothly.
Keeping it Stylish and Affordable
Kitchen renovations can get expensive fast but smart planning makes a big difference. Our Designers share a few key tips:
Gareth, Designer at Kitchen Shack Moorabbin says:
“When you’re working with a small space or a tight budget always plan upwards. Stack your wall cabinets to create extra storage without taking up floor space. Stick to light colours to make the room feel bigger and most importantly focus on must haves first, not wish list extras.”
Hannah, Designer at Kitchen Shack Maribyrnong, adds:
“Think carefully about your food storage. Do you really need a big pantry or could overhead cabinets and deep drawers do the job? Also, if you’re short on laundry space, mount your dryer above the bench and stack extra cabinets to get more folding space and storage.”
No matter your budget or kitchen size, we’ll help you design a modern kitchen that’s stylish, practical and adds value to your home.
