“Our objective was to create a large and super-functional kitchen for homeowners who are passionate cooks,” says interior designer Brett Mickan. “They didn’t want it to dominate the space, but instead to have a seamless connection to the adjoining family room.” To achieve this, Brett opted for a generous, smooth-lined island, the shape of which is inspired by the curve in a nearby bay window. “The base was finished in a colour that picks up on the kitchen’s garden view,” says Brett. Previously, this space had been partially closed off from the family area. “Now, much more light flows through and we’ve made the kitchen far more suitable for the way this family of six likes to live day-to-day.”
