There are endless kitchen schemes, so many variables to consider and map out, and it can be all at once exciting and overwhelming. Here, I break down a few schemes into micro-categories, ones that have recently caught my fancy, and maybe yours, too.
Warm taupe personifies a homey kitchen. Here, we inject drama with a black soapstone countertop and iconic Zellige tiles, whose movement adds another layer of effortless elegance. Wood floors keep it feeling casual, just as brass plumbing fixtures contribute to this varied materiality. A graphic window covering ensures this doesn’t feel too monochrome.
When light blue is paired with grounding yet feminine details, it feels classic. Black hardware and a butcher-block countertop act as anchors, and a beadboard backsplash keeps costs down while referencing farmhouse styles. A playful but timeless floor creates movement for the eye and adds whimsy.
Flat-paneled cabinetry feels understated and modern. The backsplash varies in color, referencing elements in nature and working with the travertine-slab countertop. The goal for the hardware here is to add a slight deviation from the monochrome, while the light and cement bowl act as rounded counterbalances to the other linear shapes. Moss adds warmth and brings the natural feel back indoors.
