1) A TRADITIONAL COUNTRY KITCHEN
Design concept: A snug and homely kitchen rich with the natural textures of wood, cork, and brick! Contemporary pendant lights and the modern, glossy touch of white kitchen fixtures and appliances are incorporated to bring a clean, bright, airy and rustic touch to your loft.
Lofty ideas: Maximise the large windows and open-concept features of your loft! A good kitchen layout will offer a reasonable amount of working and walking space. Large windows further amplify the illusion of space, and also let in sunlight during the day, revealing stunning views of the skyline during evenings which can be seamlessly integrated into your loft!
Inspiration: Can’t settle on a kitchen design? Select one that complements both your interior and exterior, or be inspired by the raw materials used in your walls and floor! If you consider the kitchen the heart of your home, you should break away from the cold monochrome colour scheme of your living area for a one that exudes a warm and rustic touch of wood and cork.
2) DRESSING SMART: HEART OF STEEL
Design concept: A kitchen that exudes class and sophistication with appliances integrated seamlessly into the design plan. Choose furniture of similar finishing, and ensure your appliances are cleverly tucked away, hidden behind smart kitchen cabinets.
