Kitchen renovations are one of the most exciting home upgrades you can make — but they’re also a major investment. Before diving in, it’s worth planning your design carefully to ensure your new kitchen not only looks beautiful but enhances the way your family lives for many years to come.
Think Beyond the Interior
When most homeowners start planning a kitchen renovation, they focus on the interior layout, finishes, and appliances. While these are all important, the outside connection is often overlooked. Considering how your kitchen interacts with your outdoor spaces — such as a pool, alfresco area, or deck — can transform your home into the ultimate entertaining hub.
Australians love outdoor living. Many of our best memories with family and friends happen outside — cooking, dining, or simply relaxing together. Whether you’re an entertainer, want to make the most of your views, or like keeping an eye on the kids in the backyard, your kitchen renovation should bring the outdoors in.
Make the Kitchen the Heart of the Home
If your kitchen is the heart of your home, maximising this space during your renovation is essential. From after-school rushes to summer barbecues and Friday night drinks, an open, connected kitchen design creates space to share life’s everyday moments.
Maximise Your Entertaining Space with a Servery Window
A servery window is one of the most effective ways to enhance your kitchen renovation. It instantly connects your indoor kitchen with your outdoor entertaining area — making it feel like you’ve doubled your usable space. If you’re often cooking or serving while guests are outside, a servery window keeps you part of the action.
There are many styles of servery windows, such as bifold or gas-strut, but Clear Edge Glass offers something truly different — a frameless glass servery window with unique stacking panels that combine elegance and practicality.
Our frameless servery windows are custom-made to suit your kitchen renovation, allowing you to choose:
-
Glass type and frame finish
-
Stacking direction
-
Integration with fly screens
-
Hardware to complement your kitchen style
Because each panel is frameless, your view stays completely unobstructed — unlike traditional bifolds with heavy frames. The stacking area is compact, giving you more usable bench space. Plus, installation is straightforward and can be completed by a general trade without needing a specialist glazier.
Upcoming kitchen design trends
According to The Block Shop,“broken plan living” is becoming one of the biggest kitchen design trends. This approach divides a large open space into functional zones — like a connected kitchen and dining area — without losing the sense of flow. A frameless servery window is ideal for this concept, allowing you to open or close the connection between areas depending on how you’re using the space.
Other trends making waves in Australian kitchen renovations include:
-
Warm metallic accents like gold and brass hardware
-
Marble and natural stone finishes
-
Seamless, integrated appliances
-
Smart kitchen taps and touchless fixtures
-
Curved island benches for softer design flow
