Your kitchen should reflect your tastes and be as personal to you as any other room. Any style can be broken down into ingredients - a ‘recipe’ to create that look. When you are trying to recreate a certain effect, get used to looking at a room and analyzing the elements which make it up. Look at the materials, styles and colours, whether they blend with each other or contrast for effect. In a kitchen the main elements will be the units - style, material, colour, the walls and the floor.
