NATURAL LINEN
KITCHEN, SCULLERY,
LAUNDRY
& KIDS NOOK

The Natural Linen project is a complete kitchen renovation in Hawke’s Bay, transforming an oversized, underperforming layout into three highly functional spaces - a kitchen, walk-in scullery, and walk-through laundry. The original space lacked flow and practical use, so the focus of this renovation was to improve layout, increase storage, and create a more efficient environment for everyday family living.

The main kitchen now centres around clean, handleless modern kitchen cabinetry, finished in a crisp white palette, in the colour Haze, with overhead storage to maximise space. A timber veneer beading detail beneath the benchtop introduces warmth and contrast, while a corner acrylic benchtop with panel detailing on the breakfast bar adds durability and interest. The adjoining scullery supports the kitchen renovation by providing additional bench space, full-height storage, multiple drawers and a custom timber wine glass holder - keeping the main kitchen clear and functional.

The renovation continues through to the walk-through laundry, where a mix of timber and white cabinetry creates consistency across all spaces. Designed to handle high use, it includes pull-out shelving under the washer and dryer, dedicated basket storage, overhead cabinetry, a tall cupboard, and a sink area with additional bench space. Despite fitting a lot into one zone, the layout feels seamless and easy to navigate, showing how a well-executed kitchen renovation can extend beyond the kitchen itself to improve the overall flow of the home.

A built-in kids’ nook with upper cabinetry for craft supplies has also been included, creating a simple, organised space for the children within the kitchen.
