french flair

When this French customer was planning her new kitchen she was keen to introduce some Gallic touches to add flair and personality. The room had been extended resulting in odd pillars and different ceiling heights so a new chimney mantle was added to smooth out the lines and create a focal point. The main kitchen was painted in Farrow and Ball Blackened to make the most of the light in the room whilst the large island was painted in a contrasting Little Greene Paint Company Dark Lead to add depth and drama to the scheme, tying in beautifully with the French galvanised and wire accessories.photos by felix page
