1. Dark tones

The key to creating a statement is embracing dark hues through your cabinetry colour. Incorporating black, charcoal, or rich earthy coloured cabinets will instantly add drama to your space. To balance out the solid coloured cabinetry we recommend paring it with a warm dark timber laminate. The beautiful woodgrains evoke a sense of texture and will add visual interest to your cabinetry.

2. Luxurious benchtop

Marble is renowned for its beauty, uniqueness and luxury. For this reason it is consistently used in high-end and contemporary style kitchens. For a cheaper alternative, most marble designs have a similar man-made duplicate. Whichever material suits your budget, we recommend a light stone with grey veins to create that modern luxury feel.

3. Clean lines

Clean lines are all about creating a sense of flow and sophistication. This is when your kitchen dimensions are all the same and your bench tops are perfectly aligned. Opting for handleless, flush-face cabinetry is another way to embrace a sleek and modern appeal.

4. Texture

A mix of textual features stimulate the senses and create contrast. So, you should always incorporate texture when you can. Consider using a fluted profile for your island bench or a tiled splashback. It could even be as simple as some fabric bar stools to give your space a more homely feel.  

5. Moody lighting

Moody lighting will really bring your modern-luxury kitchen to life. In addition to natural lighting, dimmable pendant lights are a must. This allows you to lower the lighting levels when you are entertaining and to provide that warm cosy glow.
