For your project, I began by analyzing the existing conditions, identifying the style of your current kitchen as well as the materials in use particularly the finishes on the cabinetry, flooring, and wall paint. I also took into account your preferences, based on the references and inspirations you shared, along with the style you’re aiming to achieve. This helped establish a clear direction for the concept development.
In terms of the color palette, I opted for earthy tones white, green, and brown aligned with the natural, warm atmosphere you seem to appreciate. These colors draw from your existing palette, with the addition of green as a contrasting accent to bring a sense of vitality while maintaining overall harmony.
As for patterns, I aimed to propose an innovative approach that complements the contemporary character of your kitchen, particularly highlighted by the presence of the parquet flooring. The goal was to strike a balance between modernity and classic touches, ensuring a timeless and cohesive feel throughout the space.
Regarding materials, I chose ceramic tile over natural stone. This decision was based on both aesthetic and practical considerations: ceramic is easier to maintain on a daily basis and more suitable for kitchen use. After a thorough review of options available on the U.S. market, I selected the Raphael Glossy Glazed Terracotta Tile collection by Country Floors. This line features warm finishes, including interesting shades of green.
The choice of the Raphael collection, enriched with green tones, introduces a subtle contrast and helps create a welcoming atmosphere especially when combined with integrated LED lighting beneath the upper cabinets, enhancing the textures and color nuances.
