Contemporary look achieved with Cafe Brown Quick Fit Ledge

Let’s start with the modernist home designer. Contemporary furniture is generally cut into neat geometric patterns. Minimalism and innovation in space is key to contemporary furniture design. The best stone veneer to pair with this type of aesthetic is the Quick Fit Ledge line. This stone veneer is shaped into geometric patterns that allow for easy installation and layout. When the stone panels come together they form a realistic cohesive texture while maintaining a unifying line and form. The Quick Fit Ledge stones work well when paired with modern cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Stone veneer like Winter Grey, Platinum and Dark Ember are designed to match the modernist colour palette. Monochromatic colour schemes that utilize these stones provide a fresh, sophisticated and new age look to any kitchen.

These stones help create a rustic feel while still maintaining the contemporary style of straight lines and geometric harmony. The brown earthy tones of the stone veneer work well when mixed with the wood grain of cabinets and furniture. As for the appliances; it can go either way. One can decide to go with either a simple black finish which would imitate the rustic cast iron look or stick to a unifying dull steel. Either way the Quick Fit Ledge hues will compliment the contemporary kitchen by giving it that touch of modernism while still showing off its rustic roots.
