6 INSPIRED KITCKENS & BATHS
To make this modern kitchen a reality for a couple of designers and their client, we collaborated on all necessary decisions, including appliances, color palettes, and features.
For the cabinetry, we selected a reconstituted architectural grade veneer that has a rich, dark-brown color — and for the paint, we used a velvet clearcoat dead flat finish for an
elegant, fresh look. (This velvet finish is very popular in Europe and slowly being introduced to the U.S. market!) As always, appliances were perfectly integrated into the cabinetry
— like the Miele slim hood vent that's hidden behind the one of the upper cabinets. The 36-inch refrigerator with two freezer drawers was likewise seamlessly incorporated into
the design with custom panels matched to the surrounding cabinets. It was so well-hidden that some people asked me why there was a tall cabinet and not a fridge there…
mission accomplished!
