How to set up a kitchen island bench
Week 7: Han and Can
The room: Kitchen
Cash spent: $20,845 (Budget: $10,000)
Score: 26.5/30 (fourth place)
“It feels very flamboyant,” said Marty Fox. “It’s got this level of luxury and sophistication that is a little bit extra, but not off-putting."
Han and Can included their signature curves in their kitchen design, complementing the shapes featured throughout their completed rooms. It was a cohesive response that won approval from the judges, who can see the house coming together as a whole.
The girls chose a pared back and neutral palette, layering whites on white, reflecting the aesthetic of their adjoining living and dining room. It was an approach that particularly won approval from Marty Fox and Darren Palmer. Sleek white cabinetry created an elegant appearance that Han described as “very calming and relaxing”.
A showstopping curved stone splashback (to match their oversized island bench) beautifully complemented the texture of the venetian plaster surrounding the rangehood (which also mirrored the plaster in the fireplace in the living room).
A pot-filler in brass added a touch of bling and practicality, while an inset with a wine fridge and small bar area completed the offering.
All judges approved of the circular skylights, which flooded the room with light and Shaynna Blaze noted they were consistent with the rest of the house, praising the consistency of the girls’ design.
Design tip
The girls added LED strip lighting inside the drawers throughout their kitchen, which added an extra level of functionality – and a touch of glamour.
What colour paint did they use?
The paint colours that Han and Can used in their kitchen were ‘White Comfort’, ‘Cane Chair’ and ‘Love Note’ by British Paints.
