A Mix of Wood and Stainless Steel

This homeowner decided on a mix of wood and stainless steel for his kitchen worktops and cabinetry. The kitchen island is clearly the centrepiece of the room, bringing together work surface, stove as well as an integrated sink. There’s a wonderful balance between the fashionable grey wood of the cabinets and the sleek steel. The oak of the second worktop adds an additional highlight and brings a warmer colour into the mix. The reason why stainless steel is such a popular material for kitchens and why it stood the test of time is that it is a timeless material that makes practical sense when it comes to the work we do in the kitchen. It's easy to clean, hygienic, perfect for sterile areas whilst looking chic and stylish.
