KITCHENS
modern
monochrome
STYLE Raw finishes reign in this
design, from the ebonised timber
cabinetry to the white marble – it’s
a modern take on monochrome.

DESIGN TIP The style of a kitchen
is important, but function should
always come first – and that means
good storage. Tiffany Buckins, Ikea’s
interior design manager, advises
going as high as you can with
cupboards. “The beauty of modular
kitchens is that you can build them
as high as you want,” she says. ADark & handsome Tingsryd kitchen cabinetry, $2575 (as seen), Hällviken insert sink in Black, $299, and Aleskär kitchen tap in Chrome-plated/Black, $299, Ikea.
