Cabinets and storage
Opt for cabinets that maximize space and functionality. Common materials include laminates, more or less sophisticated, lacquered, wood veneered and solid wood. Consider storage solutions such as pull-out shelves and drawer organizers.
Wall and floor coverings
Choose materials that are durable and easy to clean. Some options include:
- Ceramic : Durable and available in a wide range of styles.
