1970’s Inspo
Before and After: 1970’s inspired kitchen makeover
The devil is in the detail when it comes to interior design and home renovation, and nothing is more accurate than in Libby Giles’ Auckland kitchen where a room transformation has occurred.
Libby designed and planned her kitchen before coming to Cutshop® Mt Wellington to have her kitchen cabinetry cut out. Her brief was simple: a more open and roomier space with plenty of light, which gave the nod to the 1970s in style, colour and eclectic charm.
Her previous kitchen lacked the space Libby was craving for and didn’t allow for much light to fill the room.
So with this in mind, Libby chose colours that added to the much-desired light whilst also creating depth and warmth to the area and fashioned the eclectic look she was looking for by making the drawers two-toned between the Eco ply clear and saffron.
A journey through time - the kitchen transition:
“I learnt that with research and planning, you can get a really individualised product for a lot less than it would cost to buy a kitchen package.”
The kitchen cabinetry was designed to run around the room’s edge, leaving the centre free to house a large dining table perfect for dinners with friends and family.
Referred to Cutshop® via a friend and the team at Plytech, a specialist plywood provider, Libby came to us to cut all the cabinet cupboard and drawer cupboards. Choosing Futura HPL ply for the saffron and Spectrum Eco ply Clear for the rest, Libby loves the finished look, which met her brief exactly.
“I’m thrilled with the final product; it’s functional, looks great and met my expectations exactly.
I would definitely use Cutshop® again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others. They provide a fantastic and individualised service, at reasonable prices, with a friendly and professional manner.”
Cool kitchen cabinetry that compliment the wooden floor and the tile splash back.
