Bright pops of colour also enliven the
kitchen. The owners’ collection of blue
and green ceramic and glass pieces are
displayed throughout the space, adding
another organic touch.
“Several of these pieces are displayed
in a contemporary built-in sideboard,
which features a fun wallpaper in a
turquoise colour with a traditional trellis
pattern,” says Keller. “The shelves are
glass, with white-painted wood edges.
The glass enables the light to travel right
down through all the shelves.”

The designer custom designed an oval
dining table with a wood and stainless
steel base, and teamed this with Eames
moulded plastic dining chairs.
“Again, the softer shape of the oval
ensures the table does not compete with
the island. It is always about achieving a
visual balance.”
Functionality is also assured. As well
as the ample storage in the kitchen, there
is a separate walk-in pantry. Small appliances are hidden from sight in a cabinet to
the right of the refrigerator.
