Step inside a modern painted kitchen
Take a tour around this modern kitchen with mirrored plinths, chosen by Beautiful Kitchens. Find more kitchen design ideas, advice and inspiration at housetohome.co.uk
Poplar cabinetry with mirror insets has been hand-painted in shades of deep grey and cream. Mirror is also used for the plinths, which gives the illusion that the units and island are floating. Weathered oak boards offer great contrast.
