A real result from the app: one photo in, one design out, nothing retouched.

Modern kitchen ideas
The before is a dated galley kitchen with honey oak cabinets, a beige laminate counter and a greenish fluorescent ceiling light. One photo, one pass through the app: the cabinets became matte, handleless slab fronts in charcoal, warm grey and olive under a white quartz top. The green wall tile, the window, the sink and the refrigerator are still the ones in the photo.
The palette
Charcoal low, grey high, olive at the window
Named in the design brief the app wrote for this room; the strip is sampled from the result itself.
- Warm greythe upper cabinet doors and the linen cloth
- Deep charcoalthe drawers and doors along the left run
- Soft whitethe quartz countertop and the ceiling light panel
- Deep olivethe sink cabinet doors and a ceramic bowl
What changed
- The oak base cabinets became a deep charcoal run of handleless slab drawers with recessed finger rails.
- The beige laminate counter became a thin white quartz countertop with faint grey veining.
- The oak upper cabinets became warm grey handleless slab doors, with a light strip below washing the green tile in warm light.
- The oak sink cabinet became a deep olive matte base with two flat doors.
- The green-tinted fluorescent panel now glows warm white in the same ceiling recess.
- The cookbooks, papers, white drip coffee maker and fridge magnets were cleared, leaving an olive bowl and a grey linen cloth on the counter.
Get the look
Echo a colour you're keeping
The olive sink cabinet picks up the existing green wall tile, so the old tile reads as part of the plan instead of something to replace.
Dark below, light above
Charcoal base units ground a narrow galley, while warm grey uppers keep the top half of the room light.
Clear the counter, light the backsplash
Handleless fronts look best with almost nothing on the worktop, and a strip of warm light under the uppers makes the backsplash glow.
