The latest appliances and gadgets (think high-tech refrigerators with a “fresh” gauge to innovative tabletop cookware) can instantly turn a humdrum kitchen into modern marvel. Here, designer Phill Vonk of D Christjan incorporates a handful of showroom stars for this guesthouse kitchen project.
“We wanted to create a transitional kitchen design,” says Phill. “This is the mixing of traditional and modern design for the customer who likes clean lines without going too modern.”
