Small kitchen design

Kitchen design made for a friend. He bought orange tiles earlier and wanted to match the design to them . In this view I wanted to achieve somewhere between NPR and realistic look. First attempt to such an approach in interior, so comments are appreciated.

I like it... interesting lighting design! Is the fingerprint backsplash a pre-existing object, or a spark of your imagination?

Thanks - this friend wanted to have a glass covered graphics over the sink and the oven. Over the oven he chose a handwritten cocktail receipt and over a sink wanted to have something personal. Fingerprint is very personal, so I thought it will suit . Probably none of them will be done because they are quite expensive and the whole kitchen is on the cheap - mostly IKEA actually.

Your style works very well for this, it looks great.
Is that slatboard? That's a hell of an idea for a kitchen.

Very nice. Great style for conceptual designs.

Subjectively, say as layman-client, I would like it if the effects, glow/over-exposure and the vignetting were toned down a little.

But this is the way to go to complement your design! Exciting feel to it.

I know what you mean - there is a trend for over-exposure and glow effects, mainly in the photo-realistic visualizations, giving them a kind of "magical realism" feeling. That's how I perceive it at least. And well - I like it more then very strict, classic realistic approach. But I imagine it might be annoying. Next time I'll try to make some different versions - I wouldn't like to start to overdo with this style.

Wow - that is a hell of an idea! Probably hard to keep it clean, but - nevertheless! Sadly it's your idea, not mine!:D My design has just painted lines, or some striped waterproof - wallpaper. I didn't even know what a slatboard is! It's not very popular here in Poland.
Thanks again and have fun on this Saturday evening!
