I need some ideas for this kitchen

You could also use a glass panelled ceiling extractor hood to remove the focus on the hood you have now

Use satined metal long handles or black handles to fit the black panel

Use this stool set, since you're having a rectangular motif in your concept btw, kitchen looks really nice. I like. Hope the big glass panels are thermal proof glass. Use 2 spots above the block with big glass panels and two above the island. Keep it up. The result looks promising.

Thanks for input !
Earlier today I decided to use the Cubo Stool that is pretty similar with your idea. This boost my self-confidence, seeing that others came to similar results/ideas.
About glass lighting, I'm using LED stripe, so I don't need to use thermal proof glass. I'll post results as soon as I have some renders.

some progress... still not happy with colors.

A stool that I want to use in this design.
I remember seeing something like that some time ago. And I think it would fit in this kitchen. So, I decided to follow that idea and make my own stool.
I hope you like the result. If the client will agree with this, it will be manufactured.

I guess this is where the client needs to give input, I'm not a fan of hardwoods in a kitchen, I prefer a tile finish, I think the wood floors and wood used in kitchen counters are too similar, as well as the wall cabinets seem to get lost to wall color, not enough contrast.

Yes, that is it ! I was trying to see what is wrong here... I guess I'm too tired. You said what I couldn't see
This is why I added the light above the upper cabinets, to get them off the walls a little. I guess it wasn't enough )) I'm pretty bad at choosing colors. Actually I try to run from this part. I feel more comfortable with shapes, contours than colors.
Thanks, solo.

If you have the time, or just for fun, I dare you to make the walls behind the furniture black, and all the cabinets white. It will pop, and the kitchen will be lighter for the eyes. Will work great with that wood.

Nice look of the kitchen with the painting behind the glass panel Usually they don't use hard-wood for kitchen furniture, rather MDF panel-built furniture. Hard wood is used mainly in separate dining-room sets.

I think the kitchen is coming along.

I love the stool!
