Call it the rush for transitional style but there indeed is an allure that comes with mixing white surfaces and dark accents. One way of achieving this quest, as is the case in this kitchen, is painting the cabinets a creamy white shade and complementing this with porcelain tiles on the floor. The running brick pattern used to lay the tiles, adds to the dramatic effect.
An outstanding feature in any kitchen, especially one that stands a lot of cooking, is the cooker. This kitchen plays home to an eight-burner gas range from the famed Blue Star professional series brand. This cooker stands out most especially, because of its stainless steel finish as well as its versatility that allows you to have many meals going all at the same time. Moreover, the cooker comes with a griddle and a grill and, it is great for all your canning needs.
A great cooker is only as good as the meals it cooks. A great component of great meals is the spices used. A great kitchen as such, should offer ample room for such spices. This kitchen has a pullout spice cupboard that forms part of the elaborate and delicately chosen cabinetry. The cupboard’s design and dimensions offers ample room for all the spices. Moreover, its unique design puts all the spices in an easy to reach space.
Everyone knows that the kitchen counters set the tone of the entire kitchen. This particular kitchen adopts leathered granite, which is a roughed up version of the traditional granite. This material as such, exudes just the right amount of gloss. Moreover, the leathering gives the surfaces a unique soft, satin finish. The hue used here is a neutral grey that has subtle patches, which create an illusion of movement. That this material is comparatively cheaper than high-end products makes it even more attractive.
The kitchen’s island is open and clutter-free and makes use of the drawers and cabinets that surround the island. The whole 40 square feet of uninterrupted and delicately beautiful marble workspace as such, sums up the simple yet elegant setting.
