About the Project
This kitchen renovation by interior designer Carmel from GIA Renovations transforms a functional space into a warm, personality-filled extension of the home. The client wanted a kitchen that felt more like furniture, with ample storage for a growing family. Key features include a multifunctional island bench with hidden storage and a pop-up power point, tactile timber handles that complement the flooring, and a mix of materials to balance style and budget. Custom touches like stone inserts, marble mosaics, and a soft, inviting colour palette add texture and charm. Carmel prioritised longevity, craftsmanship, and cohesion, creating a timeless kitchen that blends practicality with elegance.
