New Kitchen Project Showcase: Tall, Dark & Handsome

For this Onyx Homes kitchen rebuild following earthquake damage, the design brief called for a bold black-and-white aesthetic, perfect for a busy family that loves to entertain. The standout feature is a large Falcon freestanding double oven, framed by sleek matte black cabinetry.

This kitchen perfectly balances elegance and practicality.
