Design tips for beautiful simplicity in the kitchen

Three ideas for creating a refined look.

Making design decisions for a space that needs to be as beautiful as it is functional can be tough. Interior design and style expert Emily Henderson created a refined kitchen that's perfect for entertaining or everyday family meals. Consider these ideas, inspired by her kitchen design, for your next kitchen upgrade.

2. With natural materials less is more. The stone countertops and the wood flooring are showstoppers in this kitchen. They are beautiful in their simplicity and paired with the green cabinets the room feels balanced and calm.
