Cool Surfaces Teamed With Warming Hues
As the kitchen space merges seamlessly into the open plan living area, it needed to feel cohesive with the seating and dining zones. However, the existing dark wooden kitchen did the complete opposite, creating an oppressive feel. So, to brighten the U-shaped space, light grey handleless cabinets were chosen for their clean, contemporary and uncluttered aesthetic - essential in an open plan room.
To avoid the cool grey cabinetry feeling stark and cold, the units were paired with earthy brown tiles featuring a sage green undertone. The result is an elegantly
modern cooking space that is calm, considered and highly practical.
Top Tip: When it comes to the big investments, such as the kitchens and bathrooms, choose a style that makes you happy and not just a trend that you think you should follow. Interior fads can have a big influence on our decisions, however, they can also lead to expensive mistakes, so experimenting with smaller finishing touches is a safer way to introduce new looks.
