This incredible country-style kitchen from Mastercraft Kitchens Palmerston North (Kitchens by Healey) shows what can be achieved with this style. From the wooden tongue and groove ceilings to the white timber shutters this whole house exudes country charm and elegance. Being the centrepiece of the home, the kitchen had to deliver on a grand scale and designer Josh Cooper has hit the mark.
The wrap-around cabinets are notably all drawers allowing for greater storage and accessibility than the traditional mixture of drawers and cupboards. The exteriors are Dezignatek finished in Lana Grey Satin. The Archant handles support the country theme and provide a nice contrast to the beautiful white panelling on each drawer.
Topping the cabinets is a Silestone engineered stone bench in Lagoon colour. The 50mm thick polished stone radiates solidity and timelessness.
A Burns and Ferrall black sink with Plumbline tapware crowns the centre island, again in Lagoon Silestone but now with cabinetry finished in Dezignatek Slate Matt and featuring thick skirting boards.
The Asko cook top sits under a custom made lacquered range hood cabinet concealing a top- of-the-line Bosch extractor while vertical Smeg ovens sit in a floor-to-ceiling cabinet that also houses shelves for those necessary cook books.
An expansive scullery sits to the right of the kitchen behind a sliding – you guessed it – barn door. Echoing the style and quality of the main kitchen, the scullery offers more wrap-around bench space, an extra sink for food prep and a handy on-bench pantry.
Meet the Designer
Josh Cooper
Initially trained and working as a joiner in various kitchen and joinery factories, I later turned my skills to renovation projects, giving me valuable insights for the next stage of my career. In 2012 I joined Kitchens by Healey as a cabinet maker, eventually becoming a designer for Mastercraft Kitchens and I haven't looked back. I absolutely love this job! It gives me so much satisfaction seeing my clients’ reactions to the kitchen design and finished product. Every client is different, and I love the challenge of coming up with designs that my clients will fall in love with.
