Revolutionise Your Kitchen with Stunning Light-Filled Designs!

In the bustling kitchens of Western Australia, light play is an essential component in building a friendly ambience. The company Colray Cabinets has perfected a new skill in tapping into natural light to form an essential part of their creations. With over two decades of expertise, they adeptly combine a liveability factor with functionality and appearance to light kitchens in the most natural way possible.

Maximising Windows and Natural Light Sources

  • Strategic Placement of Windows: This company creates kitchens that emphasise the optimal location of windows. Through their window location optimisation, they make sure that the kitchen receives enough diffused light, contributing to both the practicality and beauty of the space.
  • Real-Life Example: A client from a beach town told me that large windows in her kitchen offered bountiful daylight and picturesque views.

Integrating Skylights for Additional Illumination

  • Skylights in Design: Acknowledging the role of skylights in providing vertical light to a kitchen, Colray Cabinets often utilise such elements as needed, especially when there is a limited wall area for windows.
  • Client Testimonial: Another homeowner noted the life-changing effects of a skylight that Colray installed in their previously dim kitchen.

Reflective Surfaces to Enhance Light Distribution

  • Use of Reflective Materials: Colray Cabinets incorporate materials such as high-gloss finishes, glass, and stainless steel in their cabinetry and countertops that reflect light more efficiently throughout the kitchen.
  • Feedback from a Satisfied Customer: One of the clients complimented on how much reflective surfaces in their kitchen reflected natural light, making it feel like a larger and brighter space.

Colour Schemes to Complement Natural Light

  • Choosing Light Colors: The light color schemes for the cabinetry and wall purpose, as recommended by Colray cabinets’ experts, create an aura of brightness and spaciousness. Light colors reflect natural lights better compared to dark shades, and this leads to creating a more luminous kitchen environment.
  • Client Insight: A family was happy with their light kitchen, which not only looked bigger but also made the space feel more inviting because of the natural lighting and colour scheme.

Open Floor Plans to Encourage Light Flow

  • Designing Open-Concept Kitchens: Another approach used by Colray Cabinets that ensures the whole kitchen space is filled with natural light includes adopting open floor plans, hence eliminating shadows and corners.
  • Experience Shared by a Homeowner: The testament confirmed that not only did their open-plan designed by Colray allow the family to interact but also permitted the free flow of natural light, which made a pleasant environment.

Conclusion: The Art of Natural Light in Colray Cabinets’ Designs

The combination of art and science is how Colray Cabinets utilises natural light to design the kitchens. Through the careful positioning of windows, skylights, and reflective surfaces, as well as choosing appropriate colour schemes and open floor plans, among other techniques, they have mastered craftsmen’s secrets in building kitchens that are not just functional and appealing to look at but also glistening with natural light.

With each new kitchen design, Colray Cabinets confirms once more that the correct amount of daylight transforms every dull and mundane cooking room into an energising welcoming zone.
