Palm Springs Kitchen

Taking cues from the sun-soaked elegance of Palm Springs, this David Reid Homes Warkworth showhome, with the kitchen—designed, manufactured, and installed by Fluid Interiors—delivers relaxed luxury with a mid-century modern twist. The hero piece, a curved island clad in Colosseum Crystal White finger tiles, evokes poolside glamour while providing everyday functionality. The benchtops, in 30mm Trendstone Cala Eleganza, are softened at one end to enhance the kitchen’s flowing layout. Cabinetry throughout features Berlin-profile Thermoform fronts in a fresh, matte white, offset with sleek negative detail handles. A warm copper penny round mosaic splashback curves seamlessly up the wall, providing a nod to retro design while staying grounded in modern materials. Touches of brushed brass—including lip handles on tall units, a Waterware gold tap, and a Mercer brass sink—bring warmth and cohesion to the palette. Hettich soft-close drawer runners ensure the kitchen functions as beautifully as it looks. This space is a celebration of form, texture, and timeless style—inviting you to slow down and soak up the sunshine, even indoors.
