The Transformation Story
A complete kitchen renovation in a Yagoona home, replacing dated cabinetry with warm timber-toned joinery and a substantial island bench. The design prioritises function for a busy household while creating a kitchen that feels inviting rather than clinical.
The Brief
This Yagoona kitchen renovation was all about warmth. The clients were after a space that felt inviting and homely rather than cold and clinical. They wanted timber - real timber presence - not just a token timber accent here and there. The existing kitchen was dated and cramped, so the scope included a complete strip-out and reconfiguration to improve both workflow and storage.

Timber Craftsmanship
The centrepiece of this kitchen is the substantial timber island bench. We worked with quality timber-look cabinetry throughout, creating a consistent warm palette that runs from the island through to the wall units and the integrated fridge enclosure. The timber finish was selected specifically to balance warmth with practicality - it needed to look the part but also stand up to everyday family use.
Stone benchtops provide the durability required for food preparation areas while complementing the timber tones. The undermount sink keeps lines clean, and quality tapware adds the finishing touch. Every drawer and door runs on soft-close hardware - the kind of detail you notice every time you use the kitchen.

Smart Storage Solutions
In any kitchen renovation, storage is critical. We designed the corner bench to maximise every inch of available space, ensuring no awkward dead zones. The integrated fridge enclosure not only looks seamless but also provides additional cupboard space above the appliance. The result is a kitchen where everything has a place and the benchtops stay clear. This Yagoona project demonstrates what happens when you commit to a design vision. The timber creates genuine warmth that makes this kitchen feel like the heart of the home. Quality materials, solid construction, and thoughtful design mean this kitchen will age well and continue to deliver for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions about Yagoona Renovations
What is the curved timber feature in the corner, and why was it included?
The curved timber slat element conceals a corner pantry while adding visual interest to the kitchen. Vertical timber battens wrap around a structural corner, creating a sculptural detail that softens the junction between kitchen and living areas. It also provides acoustic dampening and hides what would otherwise be a dead corner.
