Ottavia embarked on a kitchen renovation to transform her outdated space, opting for a design that reflects a vintage feel through family heirlooms and secondhand pieces. Despite challenges like poor natural light and existing conditions, Ottavia hired professionals to install new flooring and create a cozy, elegant ambiance. By choosing a dark yet sophisticated wall color, Farrow & Ball's De Nimes, and incorporating aesthetic warmth with wooden elements, she successfully created a unique area for both cooking and dining that exudes special character.
"The kitchen was in a very bad state; the existing cabinets were white and in poor condition. The only thing I liked about the kitchen were the floor tiles, but unfortunately, they were in such a bad state that I couldn't maintain them."
"I wanted to create a cozy and at the same time elegant space, a space both for cooking and dining with special character."
"I thought it would have been more interesting to play with the dark cozy mood of the room rather than trying to brighten up the space using white paint."
"The color I chose for the walls was Farrow & Ball's De Nimes (No. 299). It's both a very elegant and down-to-earth color."
