Mixing Styles
Many Pakistani homes blend styles — contemporary cabinets with a retro-inspired backsplash, or a modern kitchen with a vintage-style island. Keep one element dominant and use the other as an accent.
Practical Considerations
Whatever the style, choose a countertop that suits your cooking. Dark granite and quartz are practical; marble suits low-heat areas.
