Kitchen Project

Sonae Arauco South Africa recently collaborated with content creator Misha Levin on a renovation project that completely transformed the heart of her home.

Known for sharing renovation and lifestyle projects with a large online community, Misha created a kitchen where design, functionality and authenticity come together seamlessly.

What was once a dark, compartmentalised kitchen in a house more than 50 years old has been transformed into a bright, welcoming space that encourages connection and togetherness. Designed to support the rhythm of modern family life, the new kitchen has become a place for cooking, sharing meals and creating memories.

To recreate the natural wood aesthetic, she had envisioned while staying within budget, Misha selected Exquisite Dark (M6313) from the Innovus Collection. Applied to the display cabinet and pantry, this decor introduces texture, depth and an authentic character to the space. Also used inside the cabinetry, Cotton (L5200) adds brightness and a subtle sense of comfort, reinforcing the attention to detail found throughout the project.

Thoughtfully designed to meet the demands of everyday life, the kitchen incorporates smart storage solutions, integrated recycling systems and multifunctional areas that combine practicality and comfort.

The result is a bright and welcoming space where carefully selected materials and intentional design come together to create the ideal environment for cooking, gathering and spending quality time with family.
