and period of the rest of your house. . .and adds to your enjoyment

SINKS
Every
detail including the kitchen
sink makes a difference!
Again we have majored on the characteristic ceramic sink, but
we can also supply a large variety of stainless and granite sink inserts
for both over and undermount situations to suit your needs.
Just
the simple choice of handle or knob
can make a huge difference to the style
and feeling of your kitchen.
Have
a look at our handle range We have chosen fairly traditional
style handles and knobs to set off our authentic kitchen furniture
look. . .but there is also a large range of more contemporary
handles which may suit you better.
Bench-top
detailing, material, colour, pattern, thickness and surface
finish all play a part in the usability, durability and aesthetic
appeal of your kitchen.
The more dense timbers make good tops though the old scrubbed
kauri kitchen bench is a New Zealand classic and a distressed
somewhat 'lived in' look can be quite charming!
Stone is also appropriate though can have some practical limitations.
. .
See our top options here.
The
shape and scale of the furniture
together with the addition of style
details like cornice, plinth, brackets and
shaped legs or feet are all opportunities
to tailor the look you want.
You
can add pattern and texture
with plate racks, artistic door vents and grills, strongly graphic
wood grain and paint finish effects. . .
The
furniture is predominantly made from timber.
. .there is a wide selection to choose from though supply can
vary.
The wood can be sealed to preserve it's natural colour. . .or
oiled to enhance the depth of the grain. . .or presented with
a polished surface. . .or glassed for a super tough finish.

can be painted in a variety of colours and effects. . .

detail your tall and or wall furniture also indicates different
styles and periods
of your kitchen.
