This style is all about the detail (as shown in the graceful look above

left, by Bondi Kitchens). “Don’t be afraid of using colour or timber to

add texture and warmth,” says Abby. “Choose handles that represent

the period: For Art Deco, go for curved details; for French provincial,

choose accents of white porcelain and wrought iron.”

this Alexandra Kidd design, below),

“Go for clean lines, symmetry and

a refined selection of finishes,” says

interior designer Abby Greeff, who

suggests integrating your appliances.

modern

Use a Shaker profile for your cabinetry and take

colour cues from nature. “Coastal tones are a good

place to start,” says Abby. “Pair soft greys, muted

blues and greens with natural marble benchtops

and traditional handles with white porcelain.”
