Head Designer, Styles and Trends

Thanks to her design expertise and eye for trends, Lydia develops distinctive seasonal collections and stylized interior design concepts, where functionality and comfort take precedence. She draws inspiration from her finds, then adapts them to develop unique and stylish seasonal collections.

Look 1: Vintage Charm at Little Cost

You don’t need a big budget to have a kitchen with style! With the cottagecore trend, we bring a country touch to our interior with soft palettes, natural materials, and floral or vintage patterns. With a few well-thought-out changes and carefully selected accessories, you can create the look at little cost.

Go for Small Changes with a Big Impact

Using shelves instead of cabinets greatly reduces the investment required. Plus, open wall shelves have incredible decorative potential! Add a few well-chosen accents to personalize the space at little cost.

If your budget doesn’t allow you to apply ceramic tiles to a large surface, opt for wall tiles with character. In this kitchen that merges modern and vintage styles, the medallion pattern brings European charm to the decor. A small change that makes a big impact!

Combine Style and Functionality Without Breaking the Bank

Another way to keep costs down is to choose a clean, timeless design that will stand the test of time. White shaker-style cupboards are always on trend, and a wood-look melamine countertop adds a splash of warmth for a space you’ll love for years to come.

Lastly, make an impact with a faucet that combines style and functionality. This sink with accessories expands your work surface and is perfect for kitchens with limited counter space.

Look 2: A Luxurious and Enveloping Black Kitchen

Black and navy are two dramatic colours that add a sophisticated touch to any space, like this small kitchen with a modern, minimalist look. However, we also love combining them with a neutral, fresh, and light palette.

Create a Trendy Decor at Low Cost

No need to spend a lot to create an attractive decor! Playing with textures and finishes is a great way to create a trendy decor at a low cost.

In this modern, minimalist kitchen, the terrazzo-style countertop and ceramic wall tiles with a handmade look are highlighted by the dark Eklipse cabinets.

Designer Tip

Materials that reflect light, such as mirrors and high-gloss tiles, give depth to the space. However, this type of finish should be used sparingly to prevent the decor from looking too busy. In this kitchen, the matte finish of the cabinets offsets the shine of the ceramic wall.

Select the Perfect Accents

When cabinets are very dark, applying a lighter colour to the walls and ceiling will brighten the space while creating a nice contrast.

In this kitchen, wall shelves also add a decorative touch without overloading the space.

And a lovely hanging light in front of the window is enough to light your workspace in style.

Look 3: Traditional Kitchen with Modern Updates

This kitchen is livened up with a rich and warm earthy palette. Timeless—yet completely current—these nature-inspired hues provide an interesting contrast to the black matte lighting fixtures and stainless-steel appliances.

Go for a Traditional Space that Never Goes Out of Style

Combined with the faux stone countertop, these wood-finish cabinets set the tone for this upscale yet reasonably priced kitchen.

Ceramic penny tile is a timeless classic that complements both modern interiors and traditional spaces.

Add the Final Touches

This simple and elegant hanging light adds a decorative touch while providing targeted lighting to the sink—which is highly convenient for washing dishes. Plus, it ties in perfectly with the gold finish!

Lastly, the golden faucet adds shine and gives this clean and bright kitchen an on-trend look.

Smart Saving Tips

Generally speaking, large ceramic tiles tend to be more expensive than small ones. However, since they require fewer joints, they are easier to clean.
