Finding inspiration in a favorite painting belonging to the homeowner, Bowers Design Build employed a neutral palette with accents of a deep smokey Farrow & Ball blue in this Fairfax County, Virginia kitchen to unify the beverage area with the adjacent dining room where the artwork is displayed. Mixed metals unite with a botanical-patterned Calacatta marble tile backsplash that climbs from countertop to ceiling behind the massive stainless-steel hood. This unique mix of subtle colors, organic patterns and refined metal detailing will surely pass the test of time.
Details like natural copper lantern pendants and bronze cabinetry hardware make all the difference in the design. Durable natural Perla Venata Quartzite countertops anchor the island and are an investment, while the perimeter is a more cost-effective neutral quartz. The large-format floor tiles are a commercial-grade porcelain that has the look of pale limestone, yet offers durability at a better price point. The key to great kitchen design is to consider each component as part of the whole and determine what makes the most sense for the client.
