Finishing school
Creating a kitchen that looks beautiful, works
well and won't date is all in the details

uilding a new kitchen involves so many
decisions - butler's pantry versus walk-in, gas
versus induction, location of the sink - that it
can be exhausting. While practical questions
of layout and workability are paramount, it's important
to also choose the right finishes - with so much time
spent in the kitchen, you need to pin down a look
you'll love for the long haul. Interior designer Charlotte
Minty (charlotteminty.co.nz) points out that, as most
contemporary kitchens are typically open plan, they
need to create flow and consistency with existing dining
and living spaces. "Key to the right finish is that perfect
marriage between form and function," says Charlotte.
