This also featuring both side display section made of multi-layer wood with white color paint coat and gray color mirror backdrop.

Originally here was an open area. We transform it into an indoor laundry and wet kitchen for heavy cooking purpose.
The darker color scheme with glass and mirror door finishing reflection to work with bright white countertop reflects light, making the kitchen appears brighter to balance with the cozy interior result.

Same formula on enhancing the small interior space, we install tall gray reflective mirror on both side of the cushion panel.
