wattle sands
Step inside the wattle sands kitchen, home to a busy family of five, plus their puppy! From homemade rocky road to the morning school rush, this kitchen is designed for everyday moments. Embracing coastal charm, it features fresh macaroon doors and panels, stone-look salt pan benchtops and earthy green tiles that bring the outdoors in, while copper accents add a subtle nod to rustic seaside style.

This family’s renovation began with a much-loved but a little tired 1970s kitchen that simply couldn’t keep up with the energy of a family of five. Wanting to create a space that felt brighter, smarter and better suited to their daily rhythm, they leaned into a customising the space to suit their needs. A fresh white country-style door instantly lifted the room, while sage mosaic tiles brought the calming greens from their native garden indoors. Layered with antique copper tapware, a feature sink, a repurposed pot rail and warm timber shelving, the kitchen now feels grounded, personal and full of character. It is now perfect for gatherings around the bench, where the family often find themselves chatting, cooking or enjoying a cuppa.
Using the kaboodle 3D planner made the design journey simple and empowering, allowing them to explore ideas, tweak the layout and ultimately create a more functional space without major construction. With new appliances, a French-door fridge, a pull-out pantry and plenty of storage, the kitchen now works beautifully for everyday living and entertaining. They’ve even carried kaboodle into the laundry for a seamless look throughout the home. For this family, the transformation has delivered more than a new kitchen. It’s created a welcoming, adaptable space that supports big full lives and all the moments made within it.
