We dissect the wisdom of Darren Palmer, star of Channel 9 series The Block, from his design talks at the Home Show.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not many people know that Darren, before the glitz and the glamour, used to be a graphic designer, in spite of his love for home interiors. He believed this expression was only possible through a six-year architecture course and low paid internships. He ditched his job after listening to stories from his friends, who would speak passionately about their careers. Riddled with two mortgages, he decided to renovate his home to sell it. The results, as you can imagine, were breathtaking. With the help of rugby star Neil Whittaker (a friend of a friend), he managed to get his renovation published in Bell Magazine.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to now, Darren is an ambassador for Hafele Home, after \u2018frothing over this product\u2019 in his book. Hafele provides hardware, fitted systems and electronic access control solutions for modern living.<\/p>\n

Throughout his talks, blogs and books, Darren always stresses that the public now has a higher education of aesthetics,<\/p>\n

\u201cCompare the show we ran in 2008 as design professionals vs what normal people are doing now on the Block, it\u2019s because they\u2019ve seen 13 seasons of The Block.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Darren Palmer\u2019s 8 Kitchen Design Fundamentals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kitchen Triangle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ahh, the beloved kitchen design triangle. Many people have seen the strange shapes mapped onto kitchen floor plans, connecting the stove to the sink to the fridge. Strict rules that dictate \u2018may no traffic pass through this area\u2019 is enforced in modern kitchens. What most people don\u2019t realise is that the rule was enacted in the 1940s, when handmaids weren\u2019t just a tale and the second world war was well underway.<\/p>\n

Darren has a new philosophy that relates to our bigger, more social kitchens 80 years later. He calls it \u2018zoning\u2019 where each zone serves a purpose. The fives zones are consumables (food), non-consumables (plates), cleaning, prep and waste. Rather than penalise people for walking through an invisible triangle, this rule opens up space and invites everyone to use the kitchen in their own way. Only one rule is set in stone; surfaces should be at least 1.3 meters wide.<\/p>\n

We have entered a period of contemporary design \u2014 a period of self-expression where two solutions don\u2019t need to look the same. Whether it\u2019s Hamptons style crossed with Victorian themes, you are liberated to express your personality in so many ways.<\/p>\n

Darren sums this up, \u201cDesign periods used to follow the time a monarch was in power and they would last for decades. And then they got shorter and shorter and shorter. And now we live in this contemporary period where everything isn\u2019t sideways, it\u2019s on top of each other and you have access to all the different periods all at once.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Joinery as Sculpture<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Undoubtedly, there\u2019s one BIG feature that everyone wants in their new kitchen. You guessed it, island benches. They have taken the home interior world by storm and transformed our kitchen spaces into living, breathing hubs for family and friends. With the rise of multigenerational living<\/a>, the kitchen island has become a space where we can all happily co-exist.<\/p>\n

By the same token, appliances have become design statements in the kitchen. Vintage fridges and stoves have become the centrepiece. If you are going to take this approach, Darren says you should link it back to something else. Got a stainless-steel fridge? Use stainless steel door handles in the surrounding area or risk having it stick out like a sore thumb.<\/p>\n

Darren is a huge advocate for integrated design – like dishwashers built into cabinets (mandatory). \u201cI love everything that\u2019s James Bond, which opens and shuts and reveals things in surprising and interesting ways,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Overcapitalising<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What is overcapitalising? Put simply, it\u2019s spending more than you\u2019ll make back. For example, butlers\u2019 pantries are just as trendy as kitchen islands these days. But they are not absolute or mandatory. Ask yourself: do I have space? Will I use it? Is it a priority? Is it more important to have a pantry or island bench? Be honest with yourself and don\u2019t just follow the latest design trend. Don\u2019t force something that\u2019s not functional, self-assess and prioritise the things that add livability and hide day-to-day clutter.<\/p>\n

Darren put it bluntly, \u201cWhen anybody asks me about trends, generally speaking, I say 1) I don\u2019t care and 2) the biggest trend I see is individuality. People are making their own decisions based on their own aesthetic choices. Their own style, their own needs, what they\u2019ve seen on their travels.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nevertheless, it can be difficult sometimes. We are bombarded with new appliances for the kitchen every day. Steam ovens, induction microwaves, barista coffee makers, blenders and slow cookers – the list goes on\u2026 If you have the resources and the space to own all these gadgets, good for you. But most of us need to prioritise and not overcapitalise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no \u2018lick and stick solution\u2019 to design. There is no handbook that says this is always going to be right, this is always going to be wrong; what\u2019s more important is assessment.\u201d Darren starts to sound like a personal trainer; instead of shedding weight, we\u2019re shedding wants.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Big Mistake <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Darren says that when people watch The Block, they often get confused about seemingly contradicting advice. That\u2019s because people want absolute rules and don\u2019t realise one size doesn\u2019t fit all (is there a metaphor building here?). He stresses that there is no \u2018handbook\u2019 when it comes to design.<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the fun in copying ideas from The Block anyway? This is your chance to get creative, to splash your personal flair into your home. It\u2019s also a good time to get real; assess all the requirements, what your families need, the haves and have-nots. Throw this all into a detailed brief and you might actually keep within budget<\/a>. (good luck!)<\/p>\n

Darren navigates the pitfalls of modern mistakes, \u201cThe big mistake in this season [of The Block] is when the contestant hasn\u2019t thought about how they\u2019re going to use it when it\u2019s done. Planning your whole kitchen without knowing where your bin goes. It sounds like such a simple thing, but in a high-end kitchen, you\u2019re not going off to Howards Storage World and grab a Brabantia bin and just stick it in the corner, because it ruins the design of your house.\u201d<\/p>\n

One example of a big mistake is renovating a kitchen to accommodate just one fridge. Sure, you were single when you made that decision. But did you plan on meeting someone? Having kids? Having mum move back in? The next buyer? We rarely see what\u2019s coming, so let\u2019s accommodate for best (or worst) case scenarios.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finish<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let us finish with a story from the honourable Darren Palmer: \u201cThere was a day many many years ago where I thought handles were hideous and they detracted from the design of a kitchen. Now I see them like earrings of a beautiful face. You go into the effort of buying a nice dress, spending money on the shoes, but you don\u2019t neglect the earrings. It\u2019s exactly the same as kitchen handles.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Handles are a subtle way to add style to your home without offending future buyers because they can always change them easily. Whether it\u2019s contemporary or traditional, handles or no handles, you can\u2019t go wrong.<\/p>\n

Darren admits that his Anthracite (coal) sink is his favourite part of this home. After all the pastels we saw years ago, metallic finishes are now a big deal. However, due to the intensity, you have to be careful about how they are mixed. Don\u2019t mix brass with gold, for example. Champagne silver is the new frontier now, a sandy light gold colour that shouts femininity.<\/p>\n

If you are planning on living somewhere for a long time, then go wild with the colours. A kitchen finish needs to be refreshed every ten years anyway, so experiment with your wildest instincts and see where that takes you. Tiles, like wallpaper, give you the tools to really jazz things up. The only colours to avoid in the kitchen are red and blue, which biologically shuts down appetite, a reflex from our cavemen ancestors.<\/p>\n
