7/8 Flooring
Walls painted in white and teamed with neutral tiles help to enhance the feeling of space. Natural light floods into the bay window, creating a bright, airy look in this family kitchen.
Tiles
Bourgogne Clair Provence tiles from Mandarin Stone
8/8 Handleless doors
In place of handles, finger pulls run along the top of each cupboard and drawer, creating a seamless, uncluttered look. The square edge of the worksurface echoes the kitchen's linear feel.
