Cantilever Interiors Project 5

NATURE’S SERENITY

This spacious, architecturally designed apartment was brimming with potential, located in the inner-Melbourne neighbourhood of Carlton: all the apartment needed was a new owner to bring the space to life. The client’s vision was a highly functional, high quality kitchen that most importantly needed to have a calmness and serenity that could be felt within the space and create a place of escape to unwind in at the end of the day.

Much of the inspiration and choices for this project were driven by a love of greens and natural, earthy textures and surfaces. The slightly rustic, rock like texture of the Basalt used in the benchtops became the centrepiece of the kitchen, complemented perfectly by Dulux Currency Creek featured on the joinery. The result is a stylish and modern space featuring lovely tactile qualities, and colour and material choices that subtly remind you of a serene outdoor landscape.

As with many apartments the upstairs kitchen, living and dining areas are all within one room. When considering the wall treatments, the interiors team at Cantilever Interiors wanted to work with contrasting paint colour – the lines in the paint work cleverly divide and activate the space, provide a sense of zones when moving from one space to the next.
