The exposed brickwork looks great. If you are lucky enough to have a property with that style of brickwork, you have to make a feature of them.

The work top, it stands out between the contrast of the brick and units

I have a very well built set of furniture my Father made - so for the emotional reasons I will not give it up. Then comes the BUT - it is pale and made out of solid birch with absolutely beautiful flaming, swirling type of wood - and I love dark almost black, black and some grey for my furniture. I like silver over gold, latter of which I will not accept. It is crime to paint wood - generally speaking especially when it is beautiful - and so I will not do. The set of furniture includes a bit over 3 m long very near ceiling height book selves with center area designed for the TV and a stereo.. electronics. It has its own lights. There is section with led-glass and other with wood doors - some open shelves. Down there is a bit larger base with drawers. Then there exists an additional extension which can also be set else where in a room. There is 1 sqm large a coffee table high enough to work as a laptop table with structural design and a hidden base compartment for a home safe (how ever not good for permanent work table - no way). I designed the table top for it and made it when I was a teen. The design includes glass cover. In addition I have a nicely sized, bit larger than usually lamp table with 3 drawers. I designed the legs for that - so they are not common type while still simple. They are more narrow at the ends than at the top. They have silver handles and traditional framed centers for the doors. The pale birch of the doors in this particular object found online is exactly what my birch is like - tone included... I like the black legs on that. I do like Art Deco - but something about this object just does not work. I need more options and ideas. This might be just the first and most important piece of furniture to get because... I prefer much more things like these.. Please help me to find that small, but not too small a piece that can unite well enough dark and the existing pale birch. Thank you.

Comment améliorer ce plan de cuisine?

Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!

Bonjour! J'ai déjà fait une publication à ce sujet récemment, mais je voulais apporter quelques précisions. Je désire installer un dosseret de céramique dans ma cuisine. Tout d'abord, je vais enlever la bande de céramique foncée existante puisque je la trouve trop foncée et trop chargée. Il y a une rampe DEL sous mes armoires. Enfin, la cuisine, la salle à manger et le salon sont à aire ouverte et les couleurs sont neutres (blanc, gris, beige, brun, noir). Dans les photos, vous verrez aussi les chaises et la table que je vais avoir. Sur la dernière photo, vous verrez un espace vide entre la cuisine et la salle à manger. Je ne suis pas encore sûr de ce que je ferai de cet endroit. Je n'y mettrai pas de meubles, mais je pensais à y mettre des cadres ou un tableau noir. Merci!

Much too busy and conflicting.Forever wiping fingerprints off stainless door fronts. The timber floor next to jazzy tiles, too much. One or the other. Like the brick wall tho'

the high split level window stands out for me. It's a small kitchen and I would have used the same plain flooring but neither the tiles not the wood strips on this kitchen.

Too much going on visually so that one can't focus. Lovely steel units and individual shelves. The check floor is also wonderfully different. What about painting the brick wall an off-white so you still have the texture, but it doesn't compete with the units for attention. Also, are you able to extend the check flooring? If so, using just the check would make the kitchen feel bigger.

Love the contrast between the exposed brick and the stainless steel but the work tops look completely out of place and the floor makes the kitchen look cluttered and disjointed

The floor for sure! The kitchen is a great example of modern industrial. . .this is great. But the floor tiles do not work with the rest of the design.

I saw the stainless steel cupboards and drawers first, most likely because of the shiny surfaces, and then the brick wall. For me there are too many competitions colours and surfaces for me and seems too busy. My eyes were pleased to find the red chair to rest my eyes.

Pleased to see most people like the walls as mine are similar. I agree about too much clutter. The shiny cupboards are not for me - will show every mark and require a polish or the whole kitchen will look grubby. Not a fan of timber tops as not robust enough in the kitchen. After 19 homes I still like a slightly flecked white ceasarstone best, although marble can be sumptuous in the right setting.

Tiles on the floor not for me as are hard and can make your feet sore standing a lot and every glass breaks. Like an easy lean splash back though. The beam looks incongruous. I would prefer it took a backseat. I like to add drama with lots of light options and a sculpture, plant or other personal objects. This allows you to turn the volume up or down to suit the mood. Saw some amazing lighting ideas on recent Europe trip. Needs more exploration.

i used to suffer from this. 100 beautiful things purchased. each one chosen with loving care. each item with it's own story, and each item put out on display. the result.. a cluttered space devoid of a focal point, with too many contrasting items fighting for attention, and nothing grabbing your attention. i have been there and tried to say my style was boho chic meets eclectic. your style can inspire many people as there are nuggets of genius here. however, looking at the kitchen is like opening the most expensive box of chocolates that money can buy and eating them in ALL in one sitting.

Hello Emmeline, pretty eclectic picture! Like the stainless front cabinetry but should hate to keep it clean. Like the brick wall but ditto. Too cluttered for me. But I would not turn it down if it were my kitchen!

the MESS..!! Clear up the clutter and then we'll have another look. Oh. Stainless Steel. Ummmm 2 grubby little boys with jammy fingers. And look at those wine bottles in easy reach of curious hands. Nope. Practicality is zero here. If I was moving into a house with this kitchen I would do all I could to persuade hubby to let me rip it out and splash out on a new one.

Love the exposed brick, but the overall look is too busy for me. Maybe a plain floor? Or darker worktops for more contrast?

Each element is fab, love the steel kitchen units, the open brickwork walls and the stars. However collectively the eye dances around all over the place. The steel against the open brickwork is great. The flooring bothers me as it is shouting for attention against strong core elements. Less is more and decluttering would be an advantage.

As usual I see clutter. It needs pairing back a little bit for me. No one thing stands out, it just looks unorganised and a bit messy.
