A vibrant kitchen space that plays with colour in a unique and unusual fashion, an eclectic-style room is composed of many distinct but complementary elements. Too many colours can overwhelm a space, so carefully selected appliances are best introduced slowly alongside a more neutral kitchen palette to allow the products to speak for themselves
