b'alternative solutioncountry style with a twistcountry charm meets industrial styleDesigner Shane George suggests this alternative scheme:This design is a fusion of French country and industrial loft styles. This kitchen features several grey tones with Resene Colorwood Smokey Ash on the flooring, Resene Half Grey Friars on the cabinetry, Resene Triple Black White on the tongue-and-groove walls and the silver veins of the honed marble benchtop. The industrial loft vibe comes through in the Resene FX Metallic Blast Grey 2 on the industrial clock and rangehood as well as the pendant lights from Unison Work Spaces and stools from ECC Lighting. I have changed the island to a teak kitchen table stained in Resene Colorwood Teak to match the shelves in the kitchen and pantry. This table doubles as a workspace and casual eating area. The result is a warm and inviting working and living space with strong rich tones that create impact and drama. email shane@shanegeorgedesign.co.nz web www.shanegeorgedesign.co.nzResene Half Grey FriarsPiccadilly CarafeCittwww.cittadesign.com09 630 6177Resene Colorwood Smokey AshTom Stool by Magis Resene Colorwood ECC Teak www.ecc.co.nz09 379 9680Dowel LeanerHarrowsbefore www.harrows.co.nz Muuto Grain Pendant0800 142 233 Unison Work SpacesResenewww.unisonworkspaces.co.nzAbove:Although country and industrial design styles are worlds apart, the greyillustrationHalf Black White 09 972 2493colour scheme ties the look together in this modern kitchen.
