#1: A summer design will feel light, carefree and fun. This could include colors that reflect natural light easily, hardware and appliances that blend in seamlessly, and a pop of pattern in the backsplash or countertops to increase that “wow factor”.
#2: Is this an everyday kitchen or an AirBnb getaway? The waterfall edge on this kitchen island gives the space a clean design, with a calming color palette of whites and grays to complete the look.
#3: This custom mosaic by Allison Eden - a modern take on ocean waves - was meant to achieve the “Cape Cod” style kitchen the clients desired. A custom designed mosaic or backsplash can let you design to your taste and make the new kitchen feel more at home.
#4:This wet bar and beverage station leads out to the backyard, making it easy to access essentials while hosting outside. It can also be used as a dropzone while grilling or cleaning up.
#5: Decorative pendant lighting gives this gray and white kitchen some added flair. Pendant lighting is an easy - and useful! - way to incorporate creative accents into your summer kitchen.
#6: We’re glad we don’t have to rummage through the fridge! Having a dedicated beverage station - complete with a wine organizer and room for glasses and accessories - makes it easy to entertain from one convenient place.
#7: How do you like your coffee? A dedicated coffee station can function as a go-to space for prepping that morning beverage and storing your coffee or espresso maker. Creating an appliance garage with a custom door makes it easy to hide from sight when not in use.
#8: This built-in cabinetry was designed to look like a stand-alone hutch. An alternative to open shelving, it keeps the design light and clean and lets those special occasion dishes shine.
#9: If you’ve already got a beautiful backsplash, a unique place to add more design detail is the range hood. This floral-inspired tile - Dard Rose from Motawi/All Natural Stone - pairs with the backsplash and complements the darker finish below.
#10: Neutral with a twist. The tulip-inspired design at the top gives a modern nod to the craftsman style, and the upper cabinets are a good contrast to the warm walnut drawers below. The mosaic tiling provides an added texture, flowing from the range through the open shelving.
