This Summer Hill kitchen renovation embraces retro charm with a fresh, contemporary edge. Classic shaker-style cabinetry in a soft sky-blue hue wraps the space, paired with crisp white porcelain knobs and a striking black-and-white checkerboard floor that sets a playful, timeless tone.
A textured white subway tile splashback provides a clean backdrop for the stainless steel Smeg oven and integrated rangehood, while under-cabinet lighting adds warmth and highlights the durable stone benchtops. Open display shelving offers a spot for showcasing glassware and decorative pieces, adding character alongside the full run of soft-close drawers and cabinetry that maximise storage throughout.
Sympathetic to the home’s period features — including the original sash window and ornate cornicing — this renovation strikes a careful balance between heritage charm and modern functionality, delivering a bright, cheerful kitchen built for everyday family life.
