Holistic and detailing by Lane Williams

According to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh construction materials information, integrity and integration are two important aspects in creating an open-plan kitchen. It has to be a feature with appeal in the space as well as answer the day-to-day requirements as the above kitchen shows.

"Visually, the kitchen reflects the attention to craftsmanship found throughout the home," architect Lane Williams said. "An example is in the banks of cabinetry at the rear of the space. The cabinet doors are deliberately reminiscent in scale and proportion to the paneling found on the exterior doors of the home. At the same time, horizontal detailing separating the cupboards echoes characteristics of the adjacent family room ceiling."

"Aesthetics give the kitchen a feeling of individuality as well as a sense of belonging," added Williams. "Here, the walls of cabinetry are painted, unlike much wood cabinetry in the home, partly to provide this sense of differentiation. A second reason was to avoid overdoing the extensive wood surfaces already found on the floors and ceilings of the home."
