Welcome to our POV from the Workspace to the Dining Space! In this snapshot, the heart of my abode unfolds in the seamlessly integrated kitchen and dining area. A symphony of neutral tones, punctuated by warm wooden accents, creates an inviting atmosphere that effortlessly balances modern aesthetics with a touch of quirky charm. The open layout not only fosters a sense of spaciousness but also encourages a fluid transition between cooking and dining, making every meal a communal experience. We like how our bomb shelter is hidden in the kitchen, so that provides us extra storage for our kitchen necessities! My personal favourite is the matte gold spray-painted table leg, which is designed in a slanted placement to compliment the curve edges of the table.
At the back of the Dining Space, our shelfie displays our hand-crafted pottery ware, some favorite glass wares and books.
This island serves as a meal-prep or stand-around table for its dual purpose and storage! We didn't opt for a pendant light as we want the space to be a little more functional and open, so that we can have the option to shift the dining space around in the future. To infuse warmth into the finishes, I opted for wooden elements and muted hues in the form of custom-built shelves and dining chairs, fostering a connection with nature. The result is a dining sanctuary where functionality meets aesthetics, inviting both culinary adventures and memorable gatherings.
We chose a champagne finish faceplate to match with our backsplash, this switch brand is from Simon and paired very well with Sol luminaire lightings. Pro Tips: Remember to cater an international plug in your dining/ kitchen space as it is very useful for certain types of appliances!
Our microwave is hidden in the dining cabinet, we were certain about not getting a built-in microwave as we didn't have space for the tall unit but we knew we needed a microwave that we could use when needed. Remember to cater a PowerPoint for it too!
On the island, our cutlery sets are placed in these trays with lids. My husband was particular about exposing them, so I found these white colour trays that look pretty and organized. Fits the aesthetics and easily accessible when hosting!
