Mix with blackThis kitchen in Cornwall belongs to designer Tom Raffield, known for his steam-bent wood furniture and lighting, so it’s perhaps no surprise that it features quite so much wood. (You might have spotted this on the telly as the project featured in an episode of Grand Designs.)The section of black-stained wood, particularly as it’s in a recess, adds depth and a cosy atmosphere. It also provides a break between the two different uses of wood: smooth and flat on the tall units; mismatched and reclaimed on the clad wall. A good tip to take from this space is that, if you’re varying your surfaces or wooden finishes, it’s good to have something that lends continuity. Here, repeating the same handles – dark leather straps – throughout does the job.
