When the owners of this beautiful house near Nantes opened the door a year ago, they were preparing for a very long series of works. By winning this kitchen worth €10,000, they skipped many steps and made significant improvements to this 15 m2 space in just a few weeks. With the Kitchen Designer they continued step by step with a project that was close to their hearts. Their goal: to gain clarity, storage space and work surface.
Everything that was highlighted had to be accentuated by decorative elements that would not quickly become outdated. Their choice therefore fell on light and natural tones for the floor, the kitchen units and the back wall.
The whole is soberly supplemented with a plain black color, the color of which is reflected in the household appliances and the drawer handles that offer a very trendy finish. This decor allows all variations of utensils and the kitchen has become an ideal place to bring to life current accessories.
In the past: Very strong colors and floor coverings for a kitchen that was once very practical, but is now outdated and worn. It was necessary to rethink the place and illuminate this room that was suffering from too bright a color.
After: A very simple organization that takes over the lines of the previous kitchen, but the colors calm and soften the atmosphere.

No change at any price, the old layout with the sink under the window has remained the best for the owners. But the kitchen designer was able to propose solutions to make the most of the space. To address storage issues, a cupboard has been enlarged in a corner of the room and all furniture has only drawers, which saves a lot of space. The island is designed in such a way that it offers both storage space and seating.
Oven and microwave fit discreetly into a single column, and the owners preferred to equip themselves with two classic refrigerators, rather than succumb to the American model that does not meet their daily needs.
The Cuisine Designer from Keukens References advised them carefully throughout the project. She guided their choice based on their needs and wishes and together with them selected the LASER laminate model that perfectly meets their expectations. The material has a matt treatment and the chosen color is magnolia.
The worktop and the back wall are made of the same material, which gives a nice impression of depth to the room. The base cabinets are all equipped with drawers that open completely, allowing full use of all furniture surfaces. Finally there are no reserves in the kitchen everything is stored in the large cupboard built for this purpose. An uncompromising organization, made to last in style and time.
In the past shallow base cabinets and tall cabinets were too common. It was absolutely necessary to gain lightness and ergonomics.
Then a single tall cabinet and a non built in extractor hood storage. And household appliances are above. All practical and decorative.
