I was going trough my files and came across this Kitchen of the Paris flat in Dimonah and Mehmet Iksel, featured in Elle Decor some time ago. The first time I saw it I was so fascinated by its simple yet elaborate and romantic design. The owners designed the fabrics used in the rolling blinds (for the cabinets), the curtains and also the wallpaper after Iznik patterns. Somehow the contemporary Thai and Chinese blue-and-white pottery seem to work very well in front of the busy background. This is possible because the Iznik patterns have the same color scheme all around the room. To this day I still love it. I know many of you may find it difficult to live with this Kitchen in an everyday basic. What do you think? Would you live in this Kitchen or not?

I do not remember this kitchen and I am very happy that you posted about it. I LOVE THIS KITCHEN. All the pattern is just brilliant. The colours are soft and fresh with all the white.

I do like it though I don't think I could live with it for very long

I love all that pattern! I've been looking at lots of pattern on pattern in Japanese prints lately- I love to see a real life example. I'd love to live there.
Thanks so much for adding my blog to your blogroll- I tried to email to thank you but my outlook is squirrely. I've been admiring your blog for a while so you really made my day and put a huge smile on my face. 🙂

Absolutely.

Definitely! I think the whiteness of the wall and floor tiles and kitchenry perfectly balance out the patterns. Beautiful!

I personally could not – I must be a very boring Swede! (:
But if one of my close friends had a kitchen like that – I would visit often, often! Very creative and so inviting! Thank you for sharing!

I could, no doubt about it, live with that kitchen. But, I am not normal! I'm a bit outside the box. I would be the perfect client for some lucky designer!
xo,

I love this kitchen. I've never seen anything like it before. I think there's enough white space so the beautiful patterns aren't overwhelming. Such a great post!
