For an island-only application, London Clay provides a stunning focal point. It anchors the center of the room, creating a "furniture piece" feel that contrasts beautifully with lighter perimeter cabinets and draws people toward the heart of the kitchen.

Lighting is key in a bedroom, and London Clay reacts beautifully to dimmers. As you lower the lights for sleep, the color takes on a velvet-like quality, losing its daytime crispness in favor of a smoky, mysterious depth that is incredibly conducive to relaxation.
