Project: Modern Classic Kitchen
Modern Classic Kitchens
- Two-tone Kombu Green & Pebble colour
- U-shaped configuration for improved functionality
- Back door relocated to optimise space and layout
- Induction hob fitted on the peninsular
- Ceiling extraction fan for a sleek finish
The client wanted to transform their existing kitchen into a functional, elegant, and timeless space that blended classic style with practicality. They loved the idea of a two-tone colour scheme to add depth and character while maintaining a light, inviting feel throughout the room.
Design approach
To achieve the ideal layout, we began by relocating the back door, allowing us to create a true U-shaped configuration that maximised every inch of available space. This redesign improved both flow and functionality.
The kitchen was finished in a sophisticated two-tone palette of Kombu Green and Pebble, striking the perfect balance between warmth and contrast. These tones complement each other, bringing richness and depth.
A chimney deconstruction allowed for a clean, open wall that now houses an induction hob on the peninsular, making it the focal point of the space. To complete the contemporary touch, a ceiling-mounted extraction fan was installed above the peninsular, ensuring a seamless, uncluttered aesthetic while maintaining practicality.
The peninsular features an induction hob, giving the client a practical, social cooking area that naturally connects with the rest of the room. To complete the design, a ceiling-mounted extraction fan was installed above the peninsular, maintaining an uncluttered look while offering powerful ventilation.
The result:
The clever reconfiguration not only transformed how the kitchen looks but also how it works, offering a smooth, natural flow and a sense of openness.
The rich tones and elegant detailing give this kitchen a welcoming, homely feel, while modern features like the ceiling extraction fan and induction hob bring it firmly into the present day. The result is a kitchen that’s both beautiful and practical, perfectly tailored to the client’s lifestyle
What our customers say...
Posted on Ruth MorganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our kitchen project was expertly managed from design to installation by Jay and the team. We are delighted with the design, quality and functionality of the kitchen. Communication at all times was excellent and those involved in the project were friendly and efficient. We would highly recommend them.Posted on Victoria CrowsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are over the moon with our new wardrobes. Excellent service from Jay and his team at Dream Kitchens Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Everything ran smoothly from our initial home visit, to visiting the showroom to make choices, to the full installation. Steve the fitter was wonderful, he did a fantastic job and was extremely conscientious and very tidy! The wardrobes are great quality, and having the soft close feature on wardrobes is a luxury we are not used to! We would highly recommend this company.Posted on Andrew BallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called on the off chance looking for some 18mm plinth sealing strip. Not only did they sell it (this stuff is not easy to source in 18mm), they also had it in stock and did me a great deal . Very helpful staff and absolutely superb service, and the showroom looked very good (although I've not had a kitchen from there).Posted on Shila MistryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Last year we had our bathroom en-suites designed and installed by Dream Kitchens, Bathrooms and Bedrooms. We were extremely happy with the en-suites that we asked Dream to design and fit our main bathroom this year. The main reason for choosing Dream is due to Jay’s expertise and ideas to design a bathroom that would best suit us. Jay was attentive to every detail including recommending changes to our boiler/tank to ensure we were getting the right water pressure. The design and fitting is stylish, practical and of superior quality. Jay managed the projects from start to finish and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for bathroom work.Posted on Joanne kirkbride-davisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After being messed around with hidden costs, ect from other kitchen companies, it was a refreshing experience to deal with a company that include everything with no hidden costs. And Jay is so polite and professional and we left him to design our kitchen and we couldn't be more pleased. Everything explained from the beginning and we were pleasantly surprised with the cost. After our kitchen is completed we will be returning to have our bathroom done. Had the kitchen done now and I i couldn't be more pleased, the kitchen is beautiful and I have more than double the storage. The team were great from beginning to the endPosted on Taylor KeithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would thoroughly recommend Dream Kitchens & Bedrooms in Wellington. Excellent service and very helpful and friendly staff.Posted on Margaret BowenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dream Kitchens have just completed a refit of our bedroom and despite having slight reservations as we had no experience or knowledge of this company previously, we are delighted with the finished result. From the moment we met Jay we were very impressed and encouraged with his welcoming approach and friendly attitude and most importantly expert product knowledge. He visited us on several occasions to ensure that everything would go to plan and to address any small concerns that we had. Nothing was too much trouble. He kept us fully informed throughout. Carl the fitter was again very experienced and helpful throughout and we are extremely pleased with the quality and finished product. In fact we are now about to follow up with another order for a second bedroom. Thank you Jay and Team. We would highly recommend your company.
