A romantic kitchen in green and bronze
Chone de la Sotilla, from Deulonder, has designed this romantic kitchen full of details located in an apartment in Madrid. After tearing down some walls to expand the space – specifically an old service room was used – a bright, well-equipped kitchen has been achieved, which respects the desire of its owners to have a large television, as well as an island for eat comfortably on comfortable stools. Up to six people can easily eat seated. To get a full front to place the television, it was necessary to place the water and cooking point in the window. On the other hand, to give a touch of romanticism to the space, the sides of the tall furniture have been finished at the top with a small angled figure that also acts as a cornice and is framed. As a whole, the kitchen plays Deulonder’s characteristic tone, English green, off-white and brushed bronze, which determines the lighting, handles and other decorative details. The floor is imitation stoneware, while the countertops are white Corian. A perimeter wainscot has been designed throughout the kitchen finished with paper: in the kitchen, with a floral motif, while in the ironing room, a thousand-striped paper has been chosen. The cornice and ceiling have been painted white to highlight the green. In general, the kitchen is elegant, tidy and very personal.
Small shelves have been arranged to store spices and other products necessary for cooking food. The shelves have a brushed bronze rod that allows you to limit the edge, without forgetting its decorative function. The cooking area has been arranged under the window and the extractor hood is on the countertop.
The island is designed to be able to eat thanks to the blown Corian top, and also includes a food preparation area, with a practical wooden cutting board.
On the other side, the space has also been used to put some shelves topped with an ornamental rod. The dishwasher has been placed under the breakfast cabinet, which in this case is not integrated.
The furniture is lacquered with paneled doors and the corners are molded.
The television has been hung on the side, next to the ceiling-high column cabinets that include the oven and refrigerator.
