Avoiding the sheen and polish of some Western design schemes, this Asian-inspired décor uses colors and materials that provide a lived-in, natural look. Cork floors, bronze hardware with a patina, and a topaz-flecked countertop drive home the look.
The cork flooring in this kitchen adds another layer of depth to its brown color palate, and also adds additional texture. Even though it’s not a common option for kitchen flooring, cork is great alternative to harder surfaces and is easier on the legs of cooks and other people who stand in the kitchen.
