A dark chocolate-coloured floor tile has been incorporated into the fully renovated kitchen to add warmth and texture, complementing the timber-look cabinetry and coffee-coloured glass splashback.
The kitchen is a mix of country and contemporary styling, with glass fronted overhead cabinets in a warm oak finish contrasting against the darker timber-look laminate on the wall-length bank of cupboards and drawers.
