This kitchen is a superb example of how today’s kitchens can successfully blend the old with the new. The wooden beams on the ceiling lend a nod to tradition, while the sleek surfaces of the marble countertops and the highly polished wood floor, the well-placed cabinetry, and the pendant lighting over the center island are all key elements of contemporary kitchen designs.
Designed with Interior Designer, Tesa Turner
The center island, painted a “retro” turquoise color, stands out against the more contemporary, brown cabinetry. The earthy ochre and green-colored tiles on the backsplash are juxtaposed with the latest in stainless steel appliances to simultaneously create both a vintage and modern look.
Designed with Interior Designer, Traci Connell
The lines are becoming blurred between the kitchen and other living spaces. The sitting area by the fireplace fluidly transitions into the kitchen area, where the island provides an ideal area for both food preparation, as well as entertaining.
