This modern European-inspired kitchen balances depth and refinement through thoughtful contrast and material layering. The perimeter cabinetry is finished in a rich, moody paint colour that shifts subtly throughout the day, acting as a deep, complex neutral that anchors the space. The dark red oak kitchen island introduces warmth and natural movement through its pronounced grain, creating a focal point that feels both architectural and furniture-like.
Copper elements are layered throughout to bring softness and a sense of craftsmanship to the darker palette. Oversized copper dome pendants create a sculptural statement above the island, while coordinating copper cabinet hardware and a matching plumbing fixture reinforce the material story at a tactile, human scale.
A defining feature of the kitchen is the counter-to-ceiling custom plaster range hood. Its hand-applied finish introduces subtle texture and artisanal character, balancing the clean lines of the cabinetry while emphasizing verticality and bespoke European craftsmanship.
