We all know how important FINISHES are when it comes to interior design and decor. They can quickly take a space from typical to transformative. In the kitchen, the finishes you choose for your appliances, countertops, backsplashes and cabinetry will have a distinct impact on the overall design, helping to define both the style and function of this high-traffic space.
The “mix and match” trend in kitchen design is still going strong so keep this trend in mind when you decide to renovate or redecorate your kitchen. Combining brass and stainless-steel finishes for lighting, hardware and furnishings or mixing painted cabinetry with natural wood finishes will help to define a truly personal space.
Thermador’s Masterpiece and Professional Collections offer luxury finish options including brushed stainless steel, chrome and metallic silver glass, to help you best define and elevate your kitchen style from modern to transitional and everything in between.
The proof is in the pudding (pardon my culinary pun) so check out how Designer Tyler Karu mixed things up in her client’s new kitchen with a modern sophisticated style, clean classic lines and a fresh colour palette.
