1. Add depth to a kitchen
A touch of texture is a great way to add character and dimension to a kitchen. Not only does it soften the hard surfaces in your cooking space such as tile, concrete and flat-face timber, it also steps up your cabinetry, giving it a bespoke, furniture-like feel.
Give the heart of your home a cosy and sophisticated makeover by using Dekton Ukiyo Umber grooved slabs in warm terracotta on your island and side units, as the designer has done here. Or use it to elegantly conceal the working parts of your kitchen, such as an integrated refrigerator or the door to a walk-in pantry. Pair it with richly grained timber and minimalist brass fixtures for a calm, organic vibe.
Textured Dekton Ukiyo slabs boast the same impressive features Dekton architectural surfaces are known for, making it an ideal choice for busy kitchens. The slabs are highly durable, heat-resistant and virtually maintenance-free, which means they hold up to the wear and tear of everyday life wherever they’re used. “Dekton is incomparable,” Afshar says. “Its colourways, textures and thicknesses give it so much play.”
