Sophisticated and Contemporary was the brief given by the clients for their new Kitchen in their 1990s home, which was nearing the end of a complete cosmetic renovation. To contend with and contemporize the angular space, porcelain benchtops in Yamuna by Florim were the first choice to be made. With its non-directional muted tones of beige and ivory, that referenced Taj Mahal Quartzite, it was an easy choice to content with joins and complement the earthy tones of their ‘Waiuku River ‘outlook.

This space was the final part of the renovation for these clients who now enjoy it daily and when entertaining friends and family. Being clean, contemporary and with a sense of sophistication settles nicely with its surroundings.
