STYLE Here, white cupboards get
a grungy makeover with a copper-
coloured tile splashback. It adds
an earthiness as well as texture
and is a more masculine alternative
to a traditional white tile treatment.
Black furniture and lighting
continue the edgy theme.
DESIGN TIP There’s a trend
towards more drawers rather than
cupboards under benchtops, for
storing pots and dinnerware. It’s
a grab-and-go design philosophy
that will save you from the back-
breaking search for items in the
depths of deep cupboards. When
designing your kitchen, ensure
there’s enough space to pull out
drawers and walk around them. AK&B
