1. Provide a Nod to a Home’s History
This Victorian-era English kitchen was in need of a revamp, but the owner wanted to stick with white for the walls and countertop.
“She was quite nervous about using color,” says designer Natasha Burton of NB Interiors UK. Burton suggested gently adding interest through the use of soft pink lower cabinets, subtle pattern on the floor and a few key brass details.
In addition to bringing warmth to the small room, brass also has cleverly been used to tie the design into the era of the house. The brass door plates shown here, for example, are a nod to the Ingatestone, Essex, home’s Victorian heritage, as well as a practical addition to the narrow swing doors.
