As soon as you enter a dining kitchen, you are immediately captivated by the unique blend of calm and elegance. The interplay of oil blue and natural light creates an intimate yet modern space, where every detail has been carefully crafted to bring together classic and modern styles in timeless harmony.
Style and Colour
This interior is a perfect example of a transitional style, where classic and modern elements are combined in harmony. The oil blue door fronts and chairs are both elegant and calming, while the white walls and bright chandeliers bring freshness and light to the space. The ‘oily turquoise’ colour adds a special depth and richness to the kitchen, perfectly complemented by the warmth and texture of the wooden floor.
Premium effect and harmony
The stuccoed walls and ceiling and the coffered furniture doors exude a classic elegance, offset by the clean lines of the modern furniture and lighting. This contrast creates a harmonious relationship that offers both a classic experience and modern comfort. The bright chandeliers are not only functional but also decorative elements that add to the space’s premium effect. I recommend this interior to those who appreciate the combination of classic elegance and modern functionality. It could be an ideal choice for families who want their home to be both timeless and fresh, or for those who like the experience of harmonious yet dynamic spaces.
If your home is so bourgeois that the rooms are large, but not so large that you can fit a dining room and living room in the same room, and the kitchen is too big to be just a kitchen, then this is a great solution.

- Tiler: For the correct installation of wooden flooring and stucco.
- Kitchen studio: For a complex project, it is advisable to use a kitchen studio, where the professionals will take into account ergonomic aspects as well as sizing, and help you with the design and construction from the start.
2. Can these design elements be combined with other colours or materials?
- Yes, the oil blue colour can be combined with other colours such as white, cream, grey or gold. In terms of materials, it is worth choosing natural materials such as wood, marble or copper, which will further enhance the elegance and warmth of the space.
- On the other hand, you can also replace the oil blue with some deep green tones and achieve a similarly elegant contrast while leaving everything else unchanged.
- If you really like the harmony of form and detail, but want a more subdued colour scheme, swap the oil blue for an elegant grey and the gold figurines for a chrome.
3. What other styles and accessories would this kitchen harmonize with?
- An oil blue dining kitchen can harmonize well with other transitional or even eclectic style elements. For example, vintage accessories, antique mirrors or modern artwork can complement the space well. Natural plants and textiles, such as linen or cotton curtains, can add additional layers and textures that further enhance the harmony of the space.
