Under the direction of interior designer Karolina Zagrodzka, Polish studio House Loves has carried out a kitchen renovation project that redefines the concept of harmony, demonstrating how aesthetics, functionality and different characters can coexist in the same space, reflecting the essence of its users.

The space is dominated by a balanced style, a mix of current trends, wood and neutral colours, telling a story of converging tastes. Here, the magic lies in the combination of two different worlds that reflect the personal tastes of the owners: modern rustic and minimalist. Two worlds that may seem contradictory at first sight, but which in this project find a successful meeting point.

The dark oak flooring establishes a dialogue with the sturdy shelving, also in oak, for a touch of warmth that evokes a modern rustic style. However, this approach to nature is tempered by the sandy tones of the worktops and fronts, and the natural, muted tone of the oak, which soften the transition to an elegant minimalism embodied by the large formats of the fronts, the bold use of black and the delicate details of the handles and lamps, all of which create a space that exudes simplicity and sophistication.

The key to achieving this result was the use of Dekton by Cosentino on the worktops, both in the integrated work area and on the stunning central island. The colour chosen for these surfaces was Dekton Nebbia with a matt finish, a light beige flecked with greyish-brown that makes the worktops stand out for their aesthetics and unparalleled functionality.

Dekton is the best partner when it comes to resistance and versatility, as it is able to withstand daily use without showing signs of wear and tear, hiding any stains that may occur in the kitchen. This ultra-compact stone was therefore chosen not only for its aesthetics, but also for its performance as a durable and practical solution for interior design.

The renovation of this kitchen by House Loves teaches us a lesson: design is always the best bridge to unite two seemingly contradictory styles and create a space that is functional, beautiful and deeply personal.
