A CLEVERLY CURATED PALETTE OF SURFACES LENDS DEPTH AND DEFINITION IN THIS GORGEOUS KITCHEN

- LINDA CLAYTON

For several years Mioko Fujisaki honed her kitchen-design skills, creating ultra contemporary looks. But recently, her style has pivoted in line with the zeitgeist. ‘Now the tables are turning; everyone wants kitchens loaded with character. In particular, they’re seeking materials with life that will age as their family grows,’ she says. With four children and two dogs, the owners of this home were looking for resilience plus plenty of personality. ‘They have a strong, visual sense of colour and wanted an eclectic palette of materials, nothing overtly new nor too precious,’ Mioko explains.
