Going handle-free and sticking to just two colours makes the kitchen look sleek and sophisticated.
Open shelving can give the kitchen and airy and spacious look, but not everyone wants the cleaning duties that comes with it. This kitchen has a small section with open shelving which gives the homeowners a place to add a personal touch without making it too high maintenance.

The entrance is also worth adding to your inspiration board. The industrial-style matte black gate lets in plenty of light to brighten the entryway and makes it look more spacious that it actually is.
