The Nordic Noir kitchen is all about clean lines and creating an uncluttered space, and as John Davies, Head of Marketing at Smeg says, ‘choosing black appliances plays a crucial role in achieving that seamless look, blending effortlessly with dark-stained cabinetry, honed stone worktops, and smoked glass elements.’
'If you are embarking on a new kitchen extension, discuss with your architect ways to incorporate natural light through glazing and don’t forget those sightlines – you want to be able to enjoy unique, interesting views which change with the seasons,' concludes Nicolle.
Color can completely alter the mood of a kitchen; used cleverly, the darker shades of grey, green, blue, and even black give a side of sophistication and drama to the room, especially when paired with statement metallic Ironmongery and well-positioned lighting,' comments Melissa Klink, the head of design at Harvey Jones.
This transition has presented us with a new era of the kitchen, where the boundaries between cooking spaces and living rooms dissolve, giving way to an integrated hub that evokes a sense of warmth, comfort, and versatility.
This maximises useful storage space and also draws the eye upward, making the room feel larger,' adds Darren Watts, showroom design director at Wren Kitchens.
