FAB MID-CENTURY MAKEOVER FOR '60s APARTMENT.
Colour was celebrated in the ‘60s, and the kitchen wasn’t exempt. The kitchen was designed by the team at Hello Home Interiors – the team designed other elements in the apartment, including shelving in the adjoining living area.

If there’s one colour that has come to the fore in kitchen design over the past 12-plus months, it’s green. We’ve published several stories about stunning green kitchens, and this week we bring you another one. This kitchen is in a new extension to a 1940s weatherboard bungalow … and they’re not afraid of colour.
You wouldn’t recognise this kitchen from its previous layout; it’s transformed from a 1930s original into a contemporary and open-plan space. Prior to its makeover, this kitchen had multi-level flooring and orange timber spread throughout. To cater to the family living here, it needed a major update to deliver a more modern feel and the functionality you need from a kitchen.
Colour can be used in many different ways – through a beautifully veined benchtop, or a tiled splashback, high-pressure laminate cabinetry, or displayed items on open shelving.
A carefully selected colour palette can bring a simple kitchen design to life – a beautiful space you live in every day.
The owners of this cute cottage in Mt Victoria, Wellington, had strong ideas about the look they wanted in their kitchen-family space – it was to be dark, moody and intimate…
A home of contrast. In the kitchen they sought to avoid dominating dark cabinetry, using open shelving in the same engineered oak timber as the floor. They had been thinking all black and white, but [Joneen] pushed everything in a different direction with a copper, blue, and black penny-tile sample.
