Kitchen Trends

And they give a set of good-looking examples, one of which is with a similar to the Pantone's shade of  purple paint on the lower cupboards:

Reading this post I realized that most of my kitchen projects are exactly two-toned:

So, I don't think this can be considered a new trend, but still, like the idea to use two toned cabinets and make the kitchen more interesting.

I plan to post more about kitchen trends, especially when we get nearer to the coming Milan Design Week in April, where kitchens and bathrooms are going to be basic themes.

How to make a long room look more balanced

- preserve the available flooring.
Through the use of colour techniques and suitable materials I think we succeeded to make the room much wider, lighter and inviting.
Here below is the result:
