Kitchen Design Trends in Melbourne CBD
1. Compact Yet Functional Layouts
In the Melbourne CBD, space is premium. Our designers at Oceans Home specialize in smart layouts—galley kitchens, U-shapes, and L-shapes with islands—that maximize every square metre.
We build storage vertically, incorporate integrated appliances, and use light-reflective finishes to visually expand tight kitchens.
2. Minimalist Finishes with Natural Touches
Melbourne loves a balance of contemporary minimalism with natural textures. Our most popular finishes include:
-
Matte white or charcoal cabinetry
-
Stone or quartz countertops
-
Soft-close drawers and handleless fronts
-
Timber accents for warmth
We custom-build every kitchen to suit the property’s character and the client’s lifestyle.
