The curtains on the fronts have their charm as long as you take care of the choice of fabrics. What do you think if you install brick or brass hood over the kitchen? When the warehouse space allows it, it is advisable to dispense with high modules and replace them with showcases or just shelves. Hang some pieces of kitchenware and pots.

Lots Of Light

Natural light. Let it slip through the windows. Avoid curtains or place light net curtains. In the field, the light has more intensity and you have to take advantage of it. Also allow time to review artificial lighting. It should be dim and low for moments of relaxation, although it is always advisable to have general lights, which allow other tasks to be carried out with the appropriate lighting.

Neutral tones also predominate, the walls are not decorated in excess and the rugs have a reserved space, also to give warmth to the floors, generally made of cold materials.

Bathroom
