THE BRUNO EFFECT

Kitchen islands are set to be big news for 2023 – though not as you know them now. “Islands are becoming less like cabinetry and more like furniture,” Thomas Puckett, founder of Thomas Puckett Designs tells Effect. “For a project in East Hampton, New York, for example, I made one out of solid walnut and gave it a rustic live edge to contrast to the tailored black stained oak cabinetry. It’s a few inches higher than the counters so it serves both as a bar and buffet for casual meals.” Often marking the transition between the cooking zones and entertaining spaces, this use of materials and colours that create exciting contrasts to the rest of the kitchen can help make even the largest kitchens feel intimate.
