How to get more enjoyment, function and flair from your kitchen

If your kitchen has you feeling uninspired, is under-utilised or needs a modern makeover, you’ve come to the right place. Take the quiz to discover your perfect colour palette, clever ideas to maximise the space, decluttering tricks and modern materials to match your aesthetic and style.

Kaboodle kitchen

Q1: Your dream kitchen is…

A) A grounding and calming space that inspires you to relax.
B) A bold and statement-making zone that wows your guests.
C) Smart and savvy, with plenty of storage and clever cabinetry.
D) A timeless design that creates a luxury look for less.

Q2: The colour palette that best suits your style is…

A) Scandinavian-style with neutral colours and whites, blended with timber accents.
B) A wow-factor scheme that pairs lavish hues such as bold, dark cabinetry with a marble splashback.  
C) Soft tones that bring the outdoors in, such as kaboodle’s premium door and panel range  which features green hues including olive grove and matchamisu to convey a subtle sense of nature.
D) A safe and timeless palette, such as crisp white, grey or other neutral tones.

Q3: What’s on your wish-list for a functional kitchen?
 
A) An expansive feature timber benchtop to create a clean, functional and calming area for organised meal-prep.
B) A butler’s pantry for extra storage, preparation and cleaning space when hosting dinner parties.
C) A stylish and functional study nook, using a cut down benchtop to create an open shelf that matches your kitchen materials.    
D) Generous storage. Think: pull-out shelves near prep and cooking areas, wirewear accessories for hard-to-reach items and U-shaped shelving in the pantry.

Q4: How would you create a luxury space for less expense?
 
 
A) Think thrifty: hunt around online marketplaces and second-hand furniture stores for Scandi-style bar stools and décor.  
B) Create a focal point with a beautiful ceramic splashback or accent feature wall.   
C) Splurge on a luxury material in a smaller space; Use feature handles on full-length doors rather than every drawer.    
D) Swap natural stone for stylish laminate benchtops: kaboodle’s laminate surfaces are an affordable and durable alternative to genuine stone, so you can have a lavish look without the cost.  

ANSWERS:

Here's how to get more enjoyment out of your kitchen…

MOSTLY As: Try a kitchen makeover featuring calming hues, warm materials and a minimalistic layout - the foundations for your idea of kitchen heaven. Opt for warm hazelnut benchtops for a cool timber-look aesthetic.

MOSTLY Bs: To satisfy your kitchen desires, build an entertainer’s paradise. Pair a dramatic colour palette, such as kaboodle’s Trends Range, with statement materials and a large benchtop. It’s the perfect recipe to create your dream kitchen and leave a lasting impression and is the perfect place to host friends and family.

MOSTLY Cs: Designing a functional zone will meet all your kitchen needs – especially if you have a family to cater for. Think: space optimisation, ample storage and clever cabinetry. A smart study nook built beside the kitchen would be the cherry on top.   

MOSTLY Ds: A timeless and durable design that doesn’t break the bank is the key to getting the most enjoyment out of your space. Turn to natural-look surfaces that emulate timber, stone and concrete at a pinch of the premium - without compromising on quality.
