Silestone by Cosentino was a major winner in the recent kitchen reveals
on The Block.
Employing organic colours and textured surfaces, the contestants impressed
the judges with their innovative and contemporary kitchen designs. This year’s
renovations saw contestants move away from clean, neutral spaces often seen in
modern homes, to using natural hues and surfaces, adding depth and interest to
the kitchens.
Quartz surface specialists, Cosentino helped the contestant couples
create modern, functional kitchens that not only reflected their personal
styles but also addressed the premium environment of The Block's South Yarra
location.
The winners of this week’s renovation challenge, Ayden and Jess designed
their kitchen as a modern take on traditional kitchen style. Ayden and Jess
chose the neutral, veined tones of Silestone Lyra for the benchtop, providing a
clean, natural look to their classically-styled kitchen.
According to Gary Isherwood, Area Manager for Cosentino Australia, this year’s
renovations highlighted the popularity of natural, organic colours and
materials in creating modern designs and impressive spaces. Cosentino has
observed a growing trend of using contrasting materials such as wood and
marbled surfaces to create rooms with depth and added interest, in a number of
kitchen renovations on The Block: Triple Threat.
He added that all the kitchen designs combine style and function,
enabling future apartment owners to enjoy these spaces for many years to
come.
The Block kitchens
Apartment 1
Darren and Deanne chose to combine white and timber cabinetry,
seamlessly blended with the charcoal tone of Silestone Cemento Spa in Suede
finish, adding a matt, textured ultra glam look to their kitchen. The floating
island in Silestone Pulsar completes the modern, glamorous space, where the
marbled grey and honey hues contrast perfectly with the traditional white and
timber.
Apartment 2
Tim and Anastasia combined dual-toned cabinetry and soft, modern styling
to create a balanced, monochrome kitchen. The soft grey of Silestone Lagoon
blends seamlessly with the dual-toned cabinetry and light, open space,
producing a modern kitchen where elegance meets neutral hues.
Apartment 3
Josh and Charlotte designed a minimalist kitchen that combined class and
style. The subtle marbling of Silestone Lagoon combined with the bold grey
veining of the Silestone Helix island, blend perfectly to create a timeless,
stylish kitchen.
Apartment 4
Ayden and Jess chose the neutral, veined tones of Silestone Lyra for the
benchtop, providing a clean, natural look to their classically-styled kitchen.
The marbling of Silestone Lyra against the organic wood walls adds interest and
depth to the space in the traditional kitchen.
