We found another great kitchen blog – packed full of ideas and inspiration from the people behind Beautiful Kitchens magazine. There’s everything from the latest kitchen trends to design news. We especially liked the ‘Kitchen Projects’ section where you can follow the the writers thoughts about their own home projects!

BRIGHT LIGHTS…BIG TREND

Friday, September 11th, 2009

NEVE
Lighting has moved away from its functional role of general illumination and task lighting, to much more of a striking design feature. It can be used to create a mood, change the feel of a kitchen and act as the perfect finish to the room.

A key trend in the kitchen world, it is a fantastic, stylish, and cost effective way of adding that little extra something to the design.

Whether it’s bright, subtle, atmospheric, dramatic or diffused, the right combination can transform any area into a main feature of the home.

For an uber-contemporary look, the brand new Neve incorporates frosted, glazed doors, high gloss and dramatic internal lighting. The icy blue lights reflect in the edges of the green glass effect laminate worktop. This highlights the already crisp and minimalist design.
