Wendy Moore's budget friendly kitchen and laundry renovation
We partnered with interior designer and TV host Wendy Moore for her recent Home Love project, to bring her kitchen and laundry to life with a little help from kaboodle.
Renowned for her ability to create interiors that feel both timeless and beautiful, interior designer Wendy Moore brings her signature warmth and layered styling to this coastal inspired kitchen and laundry renovation. Designed with everyday functionality in mind, the space showcases kaboodle’s kaleo doors and panels in the alpine profile.
“I wanted to create something bright, open and family‑friendly, a space that would feel welcoming from the moment you stepped in” says Wendy.
A light, breezy palette sets the tone, enhanced by American oak benchtops used as open shelving that deliver natural texture and warmth. These timber elements not only offer practical, accessible storage but also become a hero feature within the design, adding depth and an organic softness that compliments the ocean inspired cabinetry.
The L-shaped layout is anchored by a generous island, creating a natural gathering point that’s perfect for casual entertaining after long days at the beach. With plenty of prep space and room for family and friends to pull up a stool, it encourages easy conversation, relaxed dining providing an effortless indoor, outdoor flow.
In the laundry, Wendy made clever design choices to maximise functionality and workability (even adding a pantry and pull-out shelves so the space works a butlers pantry and laundry hybrid), while the neutral, yet versatile, kaleo doors continue the cohesive look and feel from the kitchen. Featuring ample bench space for daily sorting and folding, and smart storage solutions within the cabinetry, this laundry is easy to navigate and built for the daily rigours of a family home.
“To visually connect the laundry with the kitchen, I carried through the same brushed brass details, fresh paintwork and soft coastal palette. The aim was cohesion, not identical finishes, but thoughtful continuity” adds Wendy.
A soft neutral green with a slight grey tone, kaleo pairs beautifully with timber and stone looks, as seen throughout this beautiful interior. It’s a colourful yet versatile option to bring a modern take on a coastal or classic style.
The result is a relaxed yet elevated interior that captures the essence of coastal living. Where thoughtful design and beautiful finishes come together in a space designed to be used and loved every day.
