For many young families the kitchen is more than just a place to cook. It is where busy mornings begin with school lunches and coffee, where homework is spread across the island bench after school and where everyone gathers again at the end of the day. It is the true heart of the home.

For this Upper Ferntree Gully family of four, their existing kitchen simply wasn’t up to date with family living. Closed off from the rest of the home, the space felt cramped, tired and disconnected. While one person cooked the rest of the family gathered elsewhere in the home, making the kitchen feel isolated instead of an enjoyment.

Before kitchen renovation

Make the kitchen the heart of the home

The brief was simple, create a kitchen that would work for their family.

The original kitchen was tucked behind a wall, limiting flow and connection between spaces. By removing a non load bearing wall, the space became a light filled open space.

Now instead of feeling cramped with cooking meals, the chef remains connected to the rest of the family. The kitchen is now an open plan with the new island bench becoming the centrepiece, creating a place for the kids to perch after school and chat while dinner is being prepared. More importantly, the kitchen is now open, with flow and functionality.

A Kitchen designed to budget

The kitchen renovation was part of a large family home renovation project so budget was a key consideration for the homeowners. Completing most of the work themselves of course helps reduce the overall cost to achieve a functional result.

After researching Melbourne Kitchen companies in the local area, they discovered Kitchen Shack and visited the Kitchen Shack Rowville showroom. Working with Nita, Rowville Designer, who guided them on practical design considerations that would suit their lifestyle and renovation budget.

The result is a timeless kitchen that now feels warm, welcoming and well suited to the Upper Ferntree Gully sorroundings.

A touch of the outdoors

Upper Ferntree Gully is set in lush bushland surround the family home. The kitchen finishes were carefully selected to create a calm, natural feel bringing the outside in.

Design materials include:

  • Soft Spinifex Shaker cabinetry creating timeless look.
  • Excel urban Oak shelves maintaining the open feel.
  • YDL Stone Jasmine benchtops for a soft, cohesion.
  • Black Savoy handles to match the black sink and tapware.

The design of warm timber tones and soft greens creates a kitchen that feels modern without losing the timeless feel of a family home in the Dandenong Ranges area.
