While deep reds, powder blues, and ochres are quietly dominating current kitchen color trends, I've always believed that a kitchen that dons a subtler palette will forever remain timeless.
Don't get me wrong, it's been a joy to see designers embrace the colorful quiet luxury trend, but when it comes to designing a forever kitchen, nothing beats the subtle grandeur of a neutral palette, followed by layers of high-quality materials and classic hardware.
Tan France's quiet luxury kitchen proves that the more subdued version of the trend is worth considering, particularly within a cooking space. Featuring a marble backsplash and countertops alongside a bespoke stove cove, the artisanal details come to life. I'm convinced the gentle color palette is what brings the design together.

Inspired by vintage designs, this timeless kitchen faucet is one that'll stand proud in your kitchen for years. It's subtle but charming, and will bring a hint of luxury to your stove top – just like Tan's space.
Marble countertops are lovely, but costly (sadly). This is where Williams Sonoma's marble tray comes in. Made from the coveted stone, it's a stylish choice that will instantly make your surfaces feel more organized.
Tan's cooking area comes to life through its intentional styling. A simple rustic pot holds delicate stems, transforming an otherwise empty corner into a thoughtful nook designed to inspire as you cook.

A neutral kitchen that doesn't feel cold or sterile, the warm marble brings a lived-in depth to the space. Both the marble kitchen countertops and backsplash tie in with the quietly luxurious feel, matched by the artisanal stove cove, beautifully carved and finished in black paint.
Finishing touches bring the space to life. The pot filler is a small but mighty detail that brings a hint of luxury to the stove top. The thoughtful flower arrangement emphasises serenity, and makes the act of cooking feel more enjoyable, designed to frame and uplift.
While Tan's kitchen is wonderfully one-of-a-kind, pulling inspiration from the space is simpler than you might think. Add small doses of marble decor (like trays, utensil pots, or even a vase) for a similar dose of luxury, alongside gold fittings like cabinetry hardware. To finish off the look, create a thoughtful floral arrangement using Euclpatyus or willow branches for a delicate, natural flourish.
With emphasis on quality over quality, Tan's kitchen exudes quiet luxury. Layered with artisanal materials and neutral colors, it's a serene and inviting space that makes the art of cooking feel even more enjoyable.
