A key feature of the room is the two different ceiling heights, used to create a stunning focal point. Using the darker Resene Porter on the stepped-down area of ceiling creates an interesting colour-blocking style, and gives the illusion of a room within a room. That darker colour runs down to the top of the kitchen cabinets creating a bold connection between the two different surfaces. Ideally, a good kitchen design will allow the space to serve a key purpose while still being a part of the architecture of the rest of the home. phone 027 845 3149 web www.thedesigneryroom.co.nz
