What’s trending in design in Sutherland Shire kitchens? Stone benchtop islands with annexed timber dining tables. We are currently working on three jobs with this design. This design includes a kitchen island, usually featuring a 40mm or 60mm thick stone that waterfalls on one or both sides, with a hand crafted timber dining table adjoined into the island and extending to one side. This design is perfect for those compromised for space that need a combined kitchen/dining, or for those who want the option of a breakfast bar but don’t want to sit around the benchtop workspace.
The current trend in Sutherland Shire kitchens is to have a marble-look engineered quartz benchtop (eg; Smartstone Statuario Venato) with a mitred 40mm edge that waterfalls at both ends, combined with an oak handcrafted table that is annexed to the side of the island (floating out from the waterfall stone side), finished with steel legs or waterfall timber edge. This is a truly stunning and luxurious addition to any kitchen.
