TURQUOISE TAKES OVER IN A SMALL KITCHEN MAKEOVER!

An uber small kitchen gets a makeover with a coat of turquoise blue paint and a bar area for cozy dining! (above)

Love this tiny kitchen makeover. So cute. Makes you realize that you don’t need much space to make things work in a home!

The polka dot roman shade hanging over the nice window, the open shelving and the bright blue paint all work so well together!

Before, the kitchen was outdated, had no counter space and there was little room to move about. (above)

After, the open shelving allows for more storage space and for color coordinated kitchen accessories to lend to the overall decor. (above and below)

    All these turquoise kitchens may appear very dated very quickly. I would opt for a touch of turquoise in the fabrics and accessories and stick with a wood or white painted cabinet for longevity. But it is cute.

    It’s really adorable! I would have left the radiator uncovered and painted it white…

    Very nice. LOVE the turquoise and white. The open shelving is adorable too. =) I’m afraid I’m way too messy and scattered to have open shelving. I do love it though.

    The turquoise is a little bright for me but what an improvement. It is amazing how much adding just a few feet of counter space and some shelving can improve the functionality of a kitchen. Adding just 4 feet of counter space in my kitchen made it so much easier to cook in.

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
