Award Winning In Melamine banner

Designer Michael Murray from Kitchen Inspirations in Pukekohe picked up the gong for best kitchen in the $25k-40k category at the 2021 NKBA Excellence in Design awards and deservedly so.

This clever kitchen packs a lot of punch with the use of the recently launched Patina melamine as a battened feature on the front of the island and above the rangehood. It complements beautifully with the Carbon melamine in a deeply textured Timberland finish on the rest of the cabinetry, itself a dark counterpoint to the stainless steel appliances.
