At first glance, this new kitchen renovation is a classic, traditional, shaker-style design. Look a bit closer and there is not a cup handle in sight. Instead, there is a very 2019 negative finger pull handle, that definitely isn't part of the traditional look. In a further nod to modernity, the wall benches are stainless steel and the island is a stunning sheet of polished white Macaubus quartzite.

Designer, Wayne Church, says mixing genres can deliver a great result as long as it is handled with skill and restraint. In this instance, the final outcome is a kitchen that looks even more stunning because the lines are so clean and uncluttered, yet the overall feel is still totally traditional. Classic butchers block tiles on the splash-back complete the look.
