There’s something special about a kitchen filled with sunshine; it lifts your mood, makes cooking more enjoyable, and brings a relaxed, beachy vibe to your home. At Collaroy Kitchen Centre, creating light-filled, beautiful spaces is what they do best.
Helle, John and the team design kitchens that make the most of our sunny climate. With a Danish background, their designs blend clean Scandinavian lines with laid-back Australian living. The result? Soft, coastal colour palettes, natural materials, and clever layouts that invite the sun in and let it linger all day long.
Here are their top tips to create a light-filled space:
Use Light Colours
Soft whites, pale greys, and delicate pastels don’t just look fresh, they reflect light. Choosing lighter cabinetry, benchtops, and walls helps bounce natural light around the room, instantly making it feel bigger and more open.
Install a Window Splashback
This clever feature replaces your traditional tiled splashback with glass and a view. Positioned behind your sink or stovetop, it invites in extra daylight while offering a refreshing outlook, perfect for Northern Beaches homes.
Consider a Skylight
Skylights are a game-changer in darker kitchens or those without many windows. Bringing light in from above fills the space with soft, natural light throughout the day.
Reflective Finishes
Glossy cabinetry, metallic fixtures, mirrored or reflective splashbacks and strategically placed mirrors can help reflect both natural and artificial light. These simple design details make your kitchen feel larger, brighter and more welcoming.
Optimise Your Layout
A smart layout that removes clutter and opens sightlines lets light flow freely and naturally throughout the space. Collaroy Kitchen Centre designs open-plan kitchens and custom joinery to maximise every sunbeam.
