Casual, yet connected: Modern.
A modern family needs a Modern kitchen, where cooking and living is stress-free and streamlined. With their sleek and contoured design, these kitchens are beloved for their clean simplicity. We know how to tailor them to your needs and utilize space more productively, which is why we’ve installed thousands of Modern style kitchens for our Melbourne clients.
The Modern style pays homage to the architectural aesthetic of the mid-20th Century, that post-WW1 period where the machine age was growing. Its best expression was in the Bauhaus style, originating in Germany with clean lines and minimalist design. This kitchen has only grown in popularity, if you’re drawn to the concept of big windows, bright open spaces, sophisticated countertops and statement ornaments (lighting and fixtures), then the Modern style kitchen will be perfectly suited for you.
At the Wood Wizards Kitchens Showroom you can view model kitchens that combine muted, calming colours (whites and greys), interesting feature splashbacks, and a clean, polished style throughout. Chrome and stainless steel are a hallmark of the Modern style – in the outlets, taps, doorknobs and railings. The Modern style kitchen, can be adapted to suit any décor, house size or creative concept.

“We’ve been in our home over 20 years and you learn to live with the layout, even though it doesn’t make much sense. Following some serious design thinking, we went with a friend’s recommendation to work with Wood Wizards on our kitchen renovation and we are so glad that we did. We now have a beautiful and classic modern kitchen with all the storage and functionality we could ever need. The addition of a new entry point from the dining room really opens up the living area, and the custom-built wine storage is the perfect use of space. Thank you to Jordan and the team for helping us to realise the potential of our kitchen.”
