Curves, texture and serene colours are key design elements of the Cockle Bay Kitchen redesign by Melanie Sa’u. Plymasters' Milled Techno Veneer was chosen for this redesign for its ability to add texture and character to curved cabinetry with a simple application process. 

The curved cabinetry and counter were a significant part of honouring the existing curves of this kitchen which was an important part of the refresh for the client. Milled Techno Veneer has a curve radius of 150mm allowing it to be easily pressed onto the curved cabinetry. With a thin paper backing fixing is a simple process which can be done with a suitable adhesive spray. Easy installation ensures that the project can keep running smoothly with the reassurance of a high-quality end result.

Painted blue, the Milled Techno Veneer adds rich colour to the kitchen which creates a clean, calm space while the milled face adds depth and texture. Texture is an important design element which prevents spaces from feeling flat by adding contrast, meaning that the kitchen can have a simple, clean look without looking uninteresting. Designer Maline Sa'u says that introducing Milled Techno Veneer paired with vertical finger tiles was key for introducing “texture and linear lines, enriching the overall aesthetic while maintaining harmony with the chosen color scheme." 

Plymasters’ Techno Veneer range enables designers to enhance designs, adding character to spaces with Rolled, Wave or Milled decorative veneers. Techno veneers are available in Oak or Walnut finish as well as having an MDF option which can be painted any colour opening the door on a wide range of design possibilities. 

Adding texture to a space adds visual interest and depth, elevating spaces making them feel more tactile and sophisticated influencing how spaces are perceived. In this case Melanie Sa'u has used Plymasters’ Techno Veneer to create an organic, open and most importantly serene space for calm mornings and inviting evenings.
