The clients sought to transform their “drab” kitchen into a lively, uplifting space that better reflected their personality and daily habits. Their brief was simple yet expressive: “live-n it up!” They envisaged a bright, functional kitchen that lifted the spirit of the home—without unnecessary renovation.

Goals

• Introduce colour, warmth and individuality

• Improve island functionality and prep space

• Accommodate existing appliances more effectively

• Make cost-effective, sustainable choices

The Result

The final design combines vibrancy, personality and everyday functionality. By reworking key elements rather than replacing everything, the space now feels brighter, more welcoming, and uniquely tailored to the clients’ lifestyle—exactly the spirited kitchen they had imagined.
