Aristocratic Elegance
This is a royal demand kitchen. For those aristocrats living in a modern world this kitchen is their best match. It is exquisitely elegant and built to perfection. Starting from the outside, the kitchen was painted in cloud white color and finished with a beautiful glaze. The raised panel door together with the leafy corbels, posts and columns bring out a sophisticated and classy look to the kitchen. The island has an appealing custom made side panels with a circle design. The doors are painted and glazed on the outside and inside. The frames were decorated with mesh and with LED lights. All the appliances were paneled with matching profile.
