The Vintage Vernacular • While sleek, contemporary kitchen design continues to reign supreme in homes across Victoria, many of these modern marvels still pay homage to trends of the past – fusing together traits of both old and new to create a functional space at the heart of the home. In this nod to nostalgia, Bethany Hayes sits down with Mint Kitchen Group’s design director and co-founder, Frank Iaria. Together, the pair discern the foundations of vintage kitchen vernacular, as well as clever ways to incorporate a touch of antique elegance into your kitchen.
A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING • If the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, then it’s important that the place we prepare and cook food for the soul is enjoyable to be in. Melbourne Kitchen + Bathroom Design explores the possibilities for custom storage and cabinetry to allow for optimum organisation. Lucy Wadelton sits down with Blum’s marketing communications manager, Natalie Russo, to discuss further.
