kitchen

Important elements - functional, easy to clean, not too huge, fits in with style/decor of loft, dark surfaces? potentially could use fingerprint-resistant matte cabinetry, mix of dark colours and wood/natural materials

Just do it. The new fingerprint resistant Matt black laminex that’s out now is pretty perfect. You will 100% regret it if you don’t use new products.

I had a white kitchen and hated the coffee and tomato paste drips. I went gloss black, white and timber. In fact I used the same picture you have for inspiration. No regrets at all. I use water and a microfibre cloth but I really don't notice the marks like I did with the white. Go for it!

My new kitchen has the finger-printless black .. love it a lot! We do have handles, I think without them it would be annoying marks to wipe. The timber cabinet section of our kitchen is far more fragile to scratches and stains. We have a lot of natural light, white walls, timber, stone, garden & art to compliment. Pic below, the shelves were just installed and we are still waiting for the glass splash-back and sisal rug. Nearly finished yay!
