Refined Revival

Remastering the Milan movement, the refined trend captures an understated palette enriched with warm hues and textured fronts for a layered approach to luxury decor. Complete with high-fashion finishes, this linear kitchen is decadent and dynamic.

A neutral palette is at the heart of the refined look, with warmer tones dialling up the luxe appeal, and deep hues adding an intimate ambience, which is great for drawing in large spaces.
