Parkville Kitchen | 2020

A thoughtfully designed kitchen renovation in Parkville, this light industrial-style home features a refined urban aesthetic with a modern Scandinavian influence.

The kitchen showcases a soft, natural palette, combining bleached walnut finishes on the tall cabinetry with a custom green-toned grey for the main cabinetry – carefully selected to complement the property’s existing architectural tones. The U-shaped layout makes clever use of the existing load-bearing support, incorporating built-in bookshelves and a breakfast bar that creates a casual, multifunctional space for working, studying or enjoying a morning coffee.

It is a practical and inviting kitchen that feels right at home within the character of the property.

DESIGN TIPS

A clever design approach integrates the load-bearing support into a bespoke tall cabinet, housing the oven tower while extending into open shelving on the living side – turning a structural element into a functional feature.

Paired with a combined reading nook and breakfast bar with custom seating, the layout creates a smart, multifunctional space suited to modern urban living.

FAQ

What is an urban-style kitchen?

An urban-style kitchen is a modern, high-function design that blends city living with industrial, Scandi or minimalist aesthetics.

It combines raw and refined materials to create a practical, relaxed and slightly edgy feel, rather than looking overly polished. Common features included exposed brick, concrete-look finishes, timber and industrial touches such as metal and steel. The space is often open-plan and multifunctional, designed to work not only as a kitchen but also a place to dine, entertain, work and gather.

Cabinetry is typically clean and streamlined, with simple door profiles, timber or timber-look finishes, darker neutral tones and contrasting textures. Open shelving, feature cabinetry and practical storage solutions can add character while making the most of the available space.

Lighting often has more industrial character, with black or metal finishes, exposed globes, track lighting, linear pendants or bold statement fixtures.
