Estetica Design Studio was engaged to curate the interiors of this contemporary family home, delivering a seamless and sophisticated design that extends from the interior to the exterior.
Our approach centred on crafting a cohesive material palette and designing functional yet refined spaces that align with the lifestyle of a young, modern family.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen offers the perfect balance of luxury, practicality, and enduring design.
Prioritising durability without compromising on refinement, we selected premium materials that enhance both form and function.
Warm oak cabinetry anchors the space and complements the stand-out porcelain island.
Featuring dramatic veining, the island serves as both a focal point and a testament to durability, its angled ends subtly highlighting the beauty of the stone.
Integrated appliances and minimalist detailing reinforce the contemporary aesthetic, while the cabinetry extends beyond the kitchen, morphing into a bar and drop zone – ensuring a sense of continuity throughout.
Our design intent was to create a space that is as versatile as it is visually refined – one that supports the evolving needs of a growing family while maintaining an upmarket ambiance.
Every element of this design reflects Estetica’s commitment to cohesive, low-maintenance solutions that elevate everyday living.
