What style do you prefer to see in your kitchen - traditional or modern? If you are at a loss to answer this question, we have for you a perfect example of an English-style kitchen that can be a source of inspiration. This kitchen combines elements of retro and modernity and perfectly fits both in a house with a modern style and with a more traditional interior. Here are a few ideas that you could borrow for your own kitchen.

1. Furniture of a dark shade

Разве эти шкафы глубокого темно-синего оттенка не великолепны? Они определенно придают интерьеру кухни еще большее обаяние и глубину, но поскольку в темный цвет окрашены только нижние шкафы, оформление не кажется перегруженным. Цвет, в который окрашены шкафы — оттенок Hague Blue от компании Farrow & Ball. В зависимости от освещения он может казаться темно-синим, почти черным, королевским синим или даже цветом морской волны.

2. A high marble apron

Kitchen apron and countertops represent an excellent contrast for dark cabinets. Note that the wall above the apron is decorated with a long open shelf, at the same level as the hood of the hood. The marble covering of the kitchen apron rises to the very shelf. All this creates a truly impressive image that allows the light marble coating to truly shine.

3. Attention to detail

Even in the kitchen, where you first notice the largest parts (cabinets, household appliances, table tops), attention to detail is of great importance. Among the few outstanding elements in this kitchen are minimalist drawer handles that contrast nicely with cabinets in a more traditional style , and leather handles on the pantry doors opposite.

4. Mixture of antiquity and novelty

One can not but like how boldly combine in this kitchen elements of modern style and retro. For example, the water tap is made in a very traditional style, and the extractor has a neat and laconic modern look. The wardrobes are decorated in a conservative style, but the decoration of the upper part of the room, with a single shelf, brings modern motifs to the interior. It seems that it is the color scheme that makes all these details harmoniously coexist in one interior - the dark tones at the bottom, white and silver at the top unite everything that is in the kitchen, into one. The only exception is ...

5. Copper sink

Look at the kitchen sink, and you will be pleasantly surprised to see the warm radiance of copper. So beautiful a sink for certain will cause desire to wash dishes immediately.

6. Floor covering of roughly wooded boards

Proper flooring is important for creating an integral kitchen interior. These rough-hewn and very beautifully aged wooden boards on the floor - perhaps the last thing you would expect to see in the kitchen, but they add so much warmth and texture to the interior and, moreover, impart a unique sense of antiquity. You could make such a coating of restored wood or buy a similar coating that will allow you not to worry about the jams stuck between the boards.
