This is something I wanted to show you because it’s not the most common approach, but I think it’s such a beautiful one. A lot of the time in kitchens, we bring in a second colour to add interest — and that can look great when it’s done well. But this is another option that I don’t think gets used enough. Instead of changing colour, you keep everything really cohesive and bring in that extra layer through texture. In this kitchen, we’ve used a thin-frame shaker across most of the cabinetry, and then introduced fluting in selected areas. It’s all in the same tone, so nothing feels broken up, but you still get that depth and detail coming through. It just reads really calm, really refined, and quite timeless. If you’re in the middle of planning your kitchen, this is definitely something to keep in the back of your mind as an option. You don’t always need colour contrast to make it feel considered. Curious — is this something you’d be drawn to in your own kitchen, or do you still lean towards a bit more contrast?
