Belgian kitchen love

Labels:

I do believe that Belgian designers are very good at designing kitchens. Every time I am browsing a new issue of a Belgian magazine or a new published book about Belgian interior design I discover the most beautiful and inspiring images of Belgian kitchens.

What do you think about the kitchen in the first 2 images. Isn’t that a warm and inviting space?

I love the terracotta tiled floor and the weathered oak cabinets. And the round table with the LXV dining chairs is so beautiful and well chosen.

Notice the combination of the wall cabinetry. A combination of painted and oak cabinet doors.

And having a fireplace as this one in your kitchen!

In the next kitchen I love the grey metal cooker that matches perfect with the grey vained floor tiles.

Notice the steel window next to the kitchen hood.

And the last 2 images are of kitchens designed by our Belgian interior designer Natalie Haegeman. Natalie is known for her use of exquisite fabrics for window treatment, upholstery and lampshades!

Kitchen island lighting fixtures

Labels:

Lighting

Choosing the most suitable lighting fixture for your kitchen island isn’t always that evident. There is a lot of choice of different kinds of fixtures, as lanterns, glass and shades pendants, industrial pendants, chandeliers. Passed weekend I was searching for an island fixture to hang above the kitchen island of one of my clients and I realized that there are quite a lot of possibilities to add the most beautiful lighting into your kitchen. Depending of course of the design style of your kitchen. Either you have a rustic or industrial styled kitchen, a contemporary or a more traditional styled kitchen, you will always find that fixture that fits your style.

I posted some images of kitchen island fixtures to inspire you to make your best choice.

Enjoy!
