The owners of a 1990s abode in Cockeysville, Maryland, tasked Katalin Farnady with elevating its interiors in chic, contemporary style. When it came to the dated kitchen, Farnady recalls, the owner “wanted white, but I persuaded her to go with something colorful and moody.”
Two kitchens in the designer’s portfolio caught her client’s eye—both showcasing sleek SieMatic cabinetry. With a vision already in mind, Farnady reached out to frequent collaborator Jonas Carnemark, whose company, Konst SieMatic, represents the brand.
Due to the home’s architecture, the kitchen was oddly angled. “The clients needed help making sense of it,” explains Carnemark. Working with Farnady, he created a layout that added a wall between the kitchen and adjacent sunroom, simplifying the angles; a deep pantry is concealed behind it. A central island incorporates a table for casual dining while a second island is intended for serving.
The cooktop shares a wall with double convection ovens. Integrated fridge and freezer columns line another wall, with a lit, recessed display cabinet nearby.
Farnady combined SieMatic’s matte-lacquered Stone Grey and stained Pecan Wild Oak cabinetry. Slender sintered stone in Vint Gris was used for the countertops, backsplash and hood while thick slabs of gold-veined Dekton Laurent add drama on the table and behind the beverage bar.
