INTERIOR DESIGNER'S BESPOKE KITCHEN

Dramatic galley kitchen in Devonport

Crafted for acclaimed interior designer Adrienne Seagar, this 310sqm 1920s Devonport home is a masterclass in restoration and contemporary elegance. Mike Laustsen was entrusted with bringing Adrienne’s vision to life in the heart of the home—a designer galley kitchen that balances modern sophistication with timeless craftsmanship.

Dark and moody custom kitchen

This bespoke kitchen proves that bold design can be both dramatic and deeply inviting. Crafted as part of a full-home renovation, the space is anchored by dark, handleless cabinetry that delivers a crisp, sculptural presence. The clean lines and matte finish offer a sense of calm sophistication, allowing the natural textures and considered lighting to take centre stage.

A marble centrepiece

At the heart of the kitchen, a veined marble island introduces contrast and balance — a luxurious yet functional showpiece that supports everything from morning routines to evening entertaining. Layered materials, custom joinery and integrated appliances have been carefully selected to blur the line between practicality and artistry.

Every detail speaks to Mike’s hands-on craftsmanship and design intuition — from the way light moves across the cabinetry to the tactile beauty of each finish. The result is not just a kitchen, but a timeless space where mood, function and form work in perfect harmony.
