Hello and welcome to our Autumn 2025 Newsletter!
This year has started on a positive note. We’re grateful for a mild summer free of floods and bushfires. In previous years, the harsh Australian summers have been a challenge for our local community. Although for our northern neighbours, the beginning of Autumn has certainly brought some difficult times. Our thoughts are with all those affected by the extreme weather.
What have you been up to this summer? I’ve been practicing my golf swing in preparation for our Annual Golf Open. It is the 30th Anniversary of our Annual Golf Open and I am looking forward to hosting this year’s tournament in the Hunter Valley. This is a time when my fellow golf lovers come together sharing the love of carts, and courses, and aim for that Hole-in-one shot that we save into our memory banks.
More positive news, finally the Reserve Bank of Australia made a 25-basis-point reduction on interest rates. This means the variable interest rates should be lower soon. This will be such a welcomed relief for many Australians!
Despite some ups and downs in the first few months, I am excited about what 2025 will bring.
Staff Updates
Autumn presents a gentle change in the air; the leaves change colour and there is a whispering breeze of promise with cooler days ahead. Here at Harrington Kitchens, we are also welcoming change within our team.
After nearly 20 years of dedicated service, Scott Green says goodbye as he enters retirement. Scott has been a huge part of the Harrington Kitchens family. Referred to us by a friend, bringing him onboard was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincerest gratitude to Scott for his many years of hard work and contribution. His impact on our team and the work we do will never be forgotten. All of us at Harrington Kitchens wish him and his family a wonderful and well-deserved retirement.
With excitement, I am thrilled to announce another staff update within our Harrington Kitchens team: my son James Clarke, our Manager and Design Consultant, has earned his stripes and will be moving into the role of General Manager. In addition to his new role, James will still manage projects from time to time as he enjoys staying involved with clients and projects.
Recent Kitchen Trends
Adding touches of colour seems to be the current kitchen design trend. Kitchens are becoming brighter and bolder with vibrant, colourful designs. Timber features are also making a strong comeback, our clients are using these features in their benchtops, shelves, and more. The combination of natural wood and bold colours creates a modern and stylish aesthetic.
To learn more about what’s hot in kitchen design I highly recommend you read our recent blog post Popular Kitchen Design Trends 2025. These trends certainly have a lot of wow factor. You never know when your dream kitchen inspiration may just appear.
