Design smarter, not harder: the secret to kitchens that actually work
It’s tempting to jump straight to choosing colours or picking benchtops. But according to Ross Longney from Poggenpohl, that’s not where good kitchens begin.
Calm and considered
This kitchen is at the centre of the interior – balanced colour and textures set the scene while a stone and wood island is a leading feature – a comprehensive scullery keeps the kitchen proper looking its best
Light tones and strong textures
Quiet tones and an emphasis on texture give this airy family kitchen real presence within a larger space – a capacious scullery, complete with bar area, is reached via pocket doors fully integrated into the cabinetry
Secret helper
This country-look, quiet toned kitchen boasts refined timber joinery complete with a double door to the rear scullery that hides in plain sight
Shape of things to come
Lead designer at Poggenpohl shares insights on what's in and what's coming, referencing leading German architectural kitchen company Poggenpohl
Lakeside refinement
Refined finishes, ergonomic cabinetry, modern technologies and existing prized elements come together in this Poggenpohl kitchen.
In step with the scenery

Industrial accent

Good company
