Here is how the furniture, light, and circulation are arranged.

SpaceDaejeon three-bedroom apartment kitchen open to the family room
Layout axisWindow-side linear cooking wall with a perpendicular tall storage spine at its end
Focal pointCobalt-tiled pantry volume beyond the coral ledge
Light conditionSoft daylight through the large window and warm under-cabinet task lighting
Main surfacesWarm taupe-gray matte cabinetry, light gray counter, deep cobalt ceramic tile
Furniture densityLow density with fixed storage, an attached two-seat ledge, and two stools only
Circulation clearanceOpen continuous route from the family-room opening past the cooking wall toward the window

Keep these points in mind when recreating a similar mood.

Build the full-height pantry volume as the perpendicular storage spine at the end of the cooking wall, using deep cobalt gloss tile only on its broad face and short return.
Run a single warm taupe-gray cooking wall from the window sink through prep counter and induction hob to the built-in oven below.
Extend a short coral metal-framed two-seat ledge from the cobalt pantry volume toward the window, with only two slim stools.
Coordinate the faucet and cabinet pulls in low-sheen aged brass, kept smaller than the tile and coral frame.
Use a natural low view from the doorless rectangular family-room opening across the ledge toward the cobalt pantry volume.

You can also review the conditions to check in your own space and the materials that shape this look.

Condition to check
If the window is narrower than 1,200 mm
Adjustment
Reduce the ledge to roughly 900 mm and tuck both stools fully beneath it.
Condition to check
If 600 mm pantry depth cannot fit
Adjustment
Set back only the refrigerator bay as needed and use 450 mm depth for remaining pantry storage.
Condition to check
If the aisle between ledge and cooking wall is under 900 mm
Adjustment
Reduce ledge depth to 350 mm and use backless slim stools.
Condition to check
If daylight is weak
Adjustment
Conceal a 2700K linear task light beneath upper cabinets and avoid direct spotlights on the cobalt tile.
