Grey and white make wonderful companions in a modern open plan space. Add a little texture and pattern, soft lighting and some carefully chosen accessories, then sit back and relax .
This kitchen provides plenty of storage with the addition of glass-front upper kitchen cabinets. A glass tile backsplash and stainless steel hardware complete the contemporary look.
This is a perfect combo of my two favorite ideas for that space under the stairs leading to the basement. A reading nook AND book storage and shelves . assuming that there is enough space for this there.
