Kitchen Renovation

First attempt at photorealism, using my GF's kitchen renovation project as an excuse to practice. Furnishing small rooms like in Paris is quite challenging, and making this scene helps us experiment with ideas ahead of the renovation.

I've learned a lot about textures, shaders, camera settings, HDRI lighting and hard surface modelling. This render took countless iterations and I've modelled everything at scale, except for the stools and the tap (both free models).

This may not be the final design, but I've reached a milestone and was proud enough to share it at this stage.
