hangout in any home, facts suggest that the honor well and truly goes to

The classic black and white color combination is something that never
goes out of fashion and while its modern version might be a bit more
distinguished and polished, it still has the same charm and attraction
that draws you in without fail. This sparkling kitchen with its distinct
island in the middle sports white shelves and a black countertop.
The bold black band the cabinets sport offers the space its own inimitable lure. Smart and savvy.
We
all have our own personal favorites and this cool blue kitchen is our
beloved thanks to its calm and laid-back look, magnetic appeal and
picture-perfect presence that is neither too overwhelming not too
understated.
A
stunning blend of style and substance, the ‘light blue cabinets’ that
are nestled perfectly among a ‘pristine white’ setting offer a
combination that many designers believe is as close to ‘perfection’ as
possible. Both current and charismatic to the core!
If
you are one of those who loves the natural touch that ‘wood’ brings
into your home, then this crafty combination of stone and wooden
finishes seems like the design to emulate when you decide to go for a
new kitchen. Light, airy and attractively lit by both ample natural
ventilation and artificial lighting, this space has a refreshing
atmosphere thanks to the playful wooden cabinets and even a touch of
natural green; Ergonomic and elegant with natural goodness aplenty.
Red
and black is another classic when it comes to kitchen design, just like
the black and white combination above. But it takes plenty of thought
and a great execution to pull this look off and this particular kitchen
seems to have that in abundance. The glazed surfaces, the matching
seating options, the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the backdrop; all
add up to offer the ideal setting and opulent richness.
While
in all the above kitchen designs we have seen a presence of vivid tones
and glittering surfaces that draw your attention, the last one in the
collection tones down the ‘oomph’ with natural shades and sober surfaces
that stand out in their own unique way. A fantastic kitchen plan for
those who like the less ‘glitzy’ variants, this kitchen is spacious,
graceful, craftily built and employs neutral colors to create a tranquil
setting. Natural lighting and a lovely rug at its heart further
highlight its exquisiteness.
