Our intention for this transitional kitchen was to use cool, neutral colors and textures throughout the space, contrasting with the dark espresso cabinets, to unify all elements of this casual, elegant design. We made the repetitive use of creams, burnt almond and espresso, as well as reappearing colors and textures in the flooring, cabinetry, granite countertop, and back splash. All the elements used provide a calming, peaceful space to create beautiful food.
