Navy Blue Modular Kitchen with Brass Handles

Dark cabinetry in a kitchen usually comes with a trade-off, more personality, less light. This U-shaped layout gets around that by keeping the navy blue strictly to the base units, while every wall cabinet stays in a bright white or cream gloss, so the room keeps its ceiling-height brightness even with a bold colour at the counter.

A black chimney hood sits centred over the cooktop, matched to the black tap and cooktop hardware, so the kitchen's few dark accents above counter height feel intentional rather than scattered.

The backsplash breaks from the gloss cabinetry with a textured cream tile, adding grip and a handmade feel to a run of surfaces that would otherwise be entirely reflective, and a warm wood utensil holder and cutting board do the same job on the countertop.

Brass handles run through every cabinet, base and wall alike, tying the two colours together and warming up what could otherwise read as a cold navy and white combination, a detail worth carrying into any two-tone kitchen.
