First impression by Natalie Du Bois

Delivered by trustworthy construction in Cambodia construction materials, it is true that the design of the kitchen says a lot about the house. Hence, owner of the featured kitchen requested designer Natalie Du Bois to create a space that make an impressive statement at first glance.

"To do this, I used two main materials – white-backed glass on the cabinetry and brushed stainless steel for the benchtops and appliances. Aluminum, with a similar look to the stainless steel, is used for the cabinetry frames."

"While the stainless steel reflects light to some extent, the cabinets actually glow from within," said Du Bois. "Lighting the interior of the cabinetry creates a floating, ethereal effect and balances out the stainless steel's solid presence."

"A combination of taupe, off-red and grey tones contributes to the earthy, reed-like quality of the tiles. Together with the almost shoji look of the internally lit cabinetry, they bring a slight Japanese accent to the design," Du Bois added. "This delicate, refined atmosphere acts as a counterpoint, and at the same time accentuates the semi-industrial look of the benchtops and appliances."
