This Elsternwick kitchen is characterised by an exciting interplay of pattern and texture. The soft, beautifully balanced neutral colour palette is anything but boring. The generous, off white benchtop (any cook's dream) mirrors the alabaster sheen, overhead cabinets and creates a sense of openness and light. They also contrast beautifully with the ravine timber grain base cabinets. The muted colours of the tiled splashback give this kitchen pizazz without overwhelming the other elements.
