DARK CABINETRY

“Cabinets occupy most of the visual space and largely affect the mood of a kitchen. Dark cabinetry can make a space look and feel more intimate, interesting and refined. I’m always inspired by Christopher Peacock’s dark kitchens— they are the epitome of luxury and sophistication.”
TEXTURED COUNTERTOPS
