Practical terra-cotta floors are perfect for this family of six, while an ornate French chandelier, custom copper hood, and marble mosaic-tile wall take this kitchen over the top. A large island and spacious peninsula allow the cook to work double time: prep food on one and serve guests at the second. The commercial-grade refrigerator is hidden behind two custom-made wood panels to not disrupt the space’s old-world charm.
A Place to Gather
Good design helps a kitchen serve as both an entertaining showplace and a functional room for everyday use. This painted island offsets the kitchen’s white perimeter cabinets, while harmonizing with the slate fireplace hearth. Glossy surfaces and sleek stools create a glamorous gathering space.
Naturally Serene
Asian design and natural inspiration come together to create a calming and urbane kitchen. Light and dark elements -- including the dark island and light Alaskan cedar and bamboo cabinetry -- reflect the kitchen's Asian influence. Earthy elements are introduced with limestone counters and a tile backsplash.
French Flair
A kitchen's charm and grace often are found in the details. Ornate turned stool legs plus cabinets and countertops in two tones are standout features that refine this kitchen. Painted maple cabinetry with a coffee-color glaze, handmade backsplash tiles, and a wrought-iron chandelier give the kitchen a French flair.
