The main focal point of the room will be utilizing a muted color palette with brass accents while still making the space bright and inviting. Adding texture from the fixtures, such as fluted moulding onto the shaker cabinets, will not only provide warmth and visual interest but is paying a subtle tribute to French architecture. Marble and white ceramic touches will create balance and brightness that the black cabinets are lacking.
Overall, creating collected character while still having a neutral palette that compliments the room as a whole.
