Countertops Take Center Stage

Red was the color choice for the wow factor in Kassen’s “Lady in Red” kitchen. “The clients had a painting in the room that they wanted to play upon in the new kitchen design; they wanted to pull from the colors in the painting. This led us to use the red accent top at one end of the room and the red island cabinets centrally located in the kitchen,” she explains. For the contrasting island top, “we chose a natural granite that had charcoal grays and blacks and found a glass tile that repeated the circular pattern of the island top on the walls with the backsplash.”

The result was a dramatic kitchen with continuity throughout – and just the right “wow” the clients were looking for.
