This Stafford Heights luxury renovation by Style Kitchens by Design has transformed a tired, outdated home into a refined, expansive residence designed for modern family living. Through a complete reworking of the layout and a substantial extension, the home has been brought into the present, introducing a contemporary interpretation of Tuscan inspired design through warm materiality, natural textures and a more relaxed, open-plan flow. The home now feels cohesive and current, carefully planned to support the family for many years to come, while presenting a beautifully executed example of the level of detail and finish Style Kitchens by Design have become known for.
The brief called for a home that felt open, calming and highly functional with spaces designed for everyday living while accommodating a more connected, contemporary lifestyle. Rather than simply extending, the design approach focused on unlocking underutilised areas and restructuring the layout to create a more cohesive flow. A previously unused portion of the side garden became central to the transformation, allowing for a substantial extension without compromising privacy – a move that reshaped the entire home.
At the centre of the renovation is a generous open-plan living zone that now anchors the home. Bringing together kitchen, dining and living, the space has been designed to feel intuitive and connected, enhancing both day-to-day routines and larger gatherings. The kitchen plays a defining role within this environment, with a new walk -in pantry and updated laundry, reinforcing the importance thoughtful planning is in a luxury home renovation.
A defining element of this Stafford Heights luxury renovation is the material selection which has been handled with a strong focus on consistency and longevity. Delicato Italian marble has been used extensively across the kitchen, kitchenette, laundry, cellar and bathrooms, creating a refined palette that carries throughout the home. Custom cabinetry with a consistent handmade profile reinforces this continuity, extending through wardrobes, study areas and bathroom vanities to establish a unified design language across the entire renovation.
The flooring plays a critical role in shaping how the home is experienced. Porcelain tiles run continuously throughout, creating an unbroken visual plane that enhances the sense of scale and allows each space to feel larger and more open. Differentiation has been introduced through subtle variations in tile size, with larger formats expanding the main living areas while more detailed layouts define the pool zone and bathrooms. Custom cabinetry also features extensively throughout, reinforcing the level of detail applied across both architectural and joinery elements. As a result the home feels cohesive without becoming uniform, with each space maintaining its own identity.
Functionality has been significantly expanded as part of the renovation. The home now accommodates four bedrooms and three bathrooms, alongside a fully self-contained suite on the lower level that provides flexibility for guests or extended family. A dedicated cellar has also been integrated with a striking feature wall.
Connection to the outdoors is a defining feature of this Stafford Heights luxury renovation. A wide bifold opening extends the kitchen directly to the pool area, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor transition that enhances the usability of both spaces. The outdoor zone has been carefully planned to include areas for dining, lounging and entertaining, framed by mature palms that introduce privacy and atmosphere. Beyond the rear, the front of the property has also been reimagined to maximise usability.
What underpins the success of this project is the level of detail carried through every layer of the renovation – something Style Kitchens by Design has built its reputation on. With decades of combined experience in kitchen design and construction, the studio is known for delivering high-end, custom home renovations across Brisbane that balance materiality, functionality and spatial clarity.
Their approach is collaborative and design-led, working closely with clients to create tailored solutions that respond to both lifestyle and architecture.

This Stafford Heights luxury renovation is a clear reflection of that approach, where intelligent design, an inspired material palette and quality craftsmanship come together to create a home that feels refined and enhances the lives of the people who live there.
