I think the contrast between the light kitchen and the dark floor and wall works so nicely in this kitchen. The cupboards are the simplest Ikea ones (called Veddinge) enhanced with brass details and beautiful metro tiles on the wall. Other than the light and dark contrast in the materials, I also love the difference between old and new here. The mixture of chairs around the dining table have a classic look, which combines wonderfully with the dark grey wall and the glass pendant. In the kitchen itself, the minimal cabinet fronts are combined with a classic oven and exhaust design, which is a lovely mixture of elements as well.

By placing the dining table and chairs on an area rug, this part of the room has been visually separated from the rest of the kitchen and it also adds a cozy texture to the look.
