Try utility chic
If you’re tiring of your home’s pretty-pretty interior, a Gallic-inspired utilitarian kitchen can be an effective alternative. Features such as freestanding units and industrial-style lighting help to balance softer elements elsewhere.
Metro tiles are a fuss-free design that offer practicality and a clean look, whether finished with white grout or, as in this French country kitchen, grey. Add a chunky farmhouse table, and open shelving with cooking implements on display, and you have the makings of a stylish chef’s kitchen. Garçon!
