Highly influential British designer and writer William Morris once said;“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” This philosophy is at the heart of this show home kitchen designed by Anneli Groenewald, where every element   function and aesthetic appeal. The design balances modernity with comfort, creating a space that feels luxurious yet welcoming.

At the centre of the kitchen is a breathtaking travertine island, a true statement piece that not only draws the eye but also serves as a highly functional workspace. Surrounding it, warm American Oak cabinetry conceals andembraces the appliances, maintaining a clean and streamlined look.

The rest of the house also benefited from Mastercraft’s design expertise, with asleek entertainment cabinet, custom office cabinetry, and well-crafted walk-in wardrobes, all adding both functionality and style to the home.

Designed to inspire and entertain, this kitchen offers a peaceful retreat from the outside world. Whether preparing a gourmet meal or hosting friendsfor a memorable evening, this space caters perfectly to both needs. The craftsmanship and attention to detail from the Mastercraft Kitchens Waikato production team ensured that the vision for this kitchen came to life with exceptional quality and style. It’s a perfect blend of beauty and practicality,embodying the timeless design principles that make a house feel like a home.

Designer
My kitchen design career started in South Africa in 2006, and I’ve been at it ever since! Originally working as a Detailer focussed on commercial projects for retirement villages, I later had the opportunity to train as a Kitchen Designer, working directly with clients to turn their dreams into reality. When I decided to emigrate to New Zealand in 2018, I was warmly welcomed by, not just the Gibbs team at Mastercraft Waikato, but also by all my various clients I have had in my time here. I look forward to designing kitchens for many more homes in the future.
