The Block 2024 Get The Look: Kitchens

Courtney and Grant took a bold approach this week, aiming to win with their modern mediterranean "Moditerranean" kitchen. "I'm really proud of our kitchen," she said, hoping the judges would notice the intricate details throughout the room. 
 
The space was packed with drama, from the deep, rich tones to the elegant lighting choices that tied it all together. Shaynna called the look "dramatic," and the judges loved how the timber and marble elements brought a cohesive yet striking design to life. 

The Brooklyn brass spotlight was the perfect match for Courtney & Grant's timber and marble palette, creating a warm, luxurious glow. Paired with Custom downlights, the Mediterranean-inspired space was chef's-kiss perfect. 
  
Styling tip: Mix metal finishes like brass with natural materials like timber to create a grounded yet glamorous look for your kitchen. 

Ricky and Haydn poured their hearts into their kitchen reveal, continuing their coastal theme with a creamy colour palette, stunning pendant lights, and a welcoming breakfast bar. Darren was quick to praise their choice of coastal oak panelling, calling it one of his "favourite finishes ever."  

The lighting? It was flawless. Darren noted how the pendants brought a softness to the room, making everything feel cohesive and in harmony with the beachside aesthetic. 

Unfortunately, not all feedback was positive. The judges had some critiques around styling and layout, but our Calido shades were a hit, adding a bright, coastal feel that lightened up the space. 

Ricky & Haydn's kitchen was a masterclass in coastal design. The Calido linen shades, paired with Create II suspension cords, added a breezy, natural touch, balancing elegance with a relaxed vibe.

Styling tip: Choose for linen shades in soft, neutral tones to create a beachy, inviting atmosphere, perfect for coastal kitchens. 

After weeks of trial and error, Kylie and Brad finally found their stride with their moody, dark aesthetic. The moment the judges stepped into their kitchen, words like "sultry," "moody," and "sexy" were being thrown around. Darren was especially impressed, saying, "This is exactly what Kylie and Brad have been striving for all series. This is on the money." 

The deep tones and rich textures created a bold, luxurious space, and the lighting played a key role in setting the mood. 

Kylie & Brad's kitchen embraced the bold with dark lighting accents. The Custom black downlights highlighted the room's luxurious finishes, while MFL strip lighting softened the edges, creating a perfect balance of moody yet inviting. 

Styling tip: Use black downlights to add drama and sophistication to dark-toned kitchens, while keeping the space functional with well-placed ambient lighting.  

With four wins under their belt, Kristian and Mimi felt the pressure to deliver another winning room, and their kitchen didn't disappoint. Their favourite feature? A striking green cooktop, which Shaynna instantly admired. The abundance of natural light pouring through the skylights only amplified the room's earthy, natural vibe. 

Kristian & Mimi's lighting choices were as subtle as they were effective. The City III gimble downlights highlighted key areas, while the LED strip lighting accentuated the beautiful wood cabinetry, creating a modern, elegant kitchen. 

Styling tip: Pair strip lighting with gimble downlights for a balanced lighting scheme that highlights both architectural features and functional spaces.
