Caesarstone® quartz tabletop
As the Dry Kitchen island is visible from the Living Hall, the design consistency of using beautiful stones with prominent grains is kept. This quartz table top is also highly functional as a work surface as it is durable, water and stain resistant.
Wallpaper
Choosing the right wallpaper adds texture, depth and completes the overall design.
This specific deep blue colour was chosen to match the existing blue rug, vases and paintings owned by the client before the renovation. The gold matches the bright natural light entering the property with off white walls and furniture.
Sintered stone feature wall
Often marble or stone feature walls are created using carpentry laminates. When viewing it in person, the results look inauthentic and cheap. Here, we use sintered stone. It is smooth and cool to the touch, with the grains joining seamlessly. As this sintered stone is purely for aesthetics compared to functionality in tabletops, 6mm thickness is used instead of the usual 12mm to manage the budget.
Caesarstone® quartz tabletop
A simpler design of the same brand of quartz table top is used for the Wet Kitchen. Having prominent grains in a confined area will make the place look messy.
Glass backsplash
Glass backsplash is not only installed between top and bottom Kitchen cabinets but also on the side wall near the stove. A smooth glass surface is much easier to clean from oil and food splashes compared to the grout lines between tiles.
Pelmet for LED light strip and switches
LED light shining onto the tabletop is great for visibility when working. Inexperience designers overlook that light switches have a thickness that will interfere with the light throw from the LED strip if it were installed above the switches. This causes shadows, poor functionality and an overall design flaw. A pelmet is used to house the switches with the LED strip installed below them to solve these issues.
