1. Contrasting Cabinets (460 Maple Slate & Painted Ember Glaze)
Why settle for one cabinet finish when you can have two? Great for an open concept kitchen, contrasting cabinets (460 Maple Slate & Painted Ember Glaze) provide interesting depth and define the perimeter of the space.
2. Ample Storage Solutions
Plenty of storage means a place for everything. Closed cabinets hide less attractive items while open shelving provides easy access to frequently used items. A good mix of both options also helps to visually break up a solid wall of cabinets.

3. Waterfall Island
Dramatic, stylish and useful, a waterfall island is the hat trick of kitchen design. It’s the ideal go-to hang out spot plus it has plenty of counter space for you to create a culinary masterpiece.
4. Layered Lighting
Mix it up! Not only do pendants, recessed and natural lighting create an abundance of light for everyday tasks, but they also offer an illuminating design impact.

A practical solution for the inevitable spills, a herringbone backsplash is easy to clean and adds a hint of contemporary personality.
7. Pot-Filler
A small but mighty detail, a pot filler is a luxury not to be discounted! Bye-bye back pain and spills. With an articulated arm that enables the tap to swing out to the burners, you can easily fill a large stockpot at its final destination on the burner.
