1. Mural Cabinets
Decorator Garrow Kedigian uses a mural wallpaper by Christian Lacroix to connect the cabinetry and curved walls in his Manhattan flat, transforming the kitchen’s strange shape into a stylish bar.
2. Dramatic Red Cabinets
This opulent London residence by Philip Vergeylen features a kitchen with striking red cabinetry. In order to give the dramatic cabinets a lift, decorative artist Henry van der Vijver sanded and stained the old kitchen floorboards in a series of squares and circles.
3. Blue Cabinets with Oak Island
This Connecticut lake cabin’s kitchen was designed by designer David Kleinberg to be light and airy, with open shelves in front of a glazed tile backsplash that replaced open cabinets. The kitchen is situated above a wide oak island and blue cabinetry.
4. Masculine Cabinets
Designer Heather Chadduck Hillegas wants the spaces in her remodeled historic Colonial Williamsburg home to blend together harmoniously. Hillegas painted the traditional Shaker cabinets a blue-gray and added brass cabinet knobs because she wanted the kitchen to resemble a stylish, masculine scullery that would go in with the nearby rustic dining room (Modern Matter).
5. Burgundy Cabinets
The Lacanche range and hood in the neighboring kitchen served as the inspiration for interior designer Kristen McCory’s deep burgundy butler’s pantry. The opulent floor-to-ceiling cabinets, which are lined with pleated white fabric to hide less appealing goods stored beneath, are the inspiration for the flowery settee design.
6. Creamy White Cabinets
This Maine summer home’s butler’s pantry features a creamy white cabinet finish, butcher-block counters, and a stainless steel sink (Franke). Pulls made of painted wood mix in seamlessly.
7. Bleached Wood Cabinets with a Contrasting Island
Slab-front drawers and sleek bleached wood cabinetry from Christopher Peacock’s Montauk line contrast with slate-blue wet bar and island cabinetry. In the 2023 Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach, the kitchen’s walls are covered in limestone tile inspired by shagreen leather, while the counters, backsplash, and vent hood all have Cosentino’s earthy Dekton Onirika in Morpheus Velvet design.
8. Light Gray Cabinets
A French bistro-inspired brass hood from François & Co.’s new collection gleams in the kitchen of this 1926 Buckhead home, contrasting with gray tilework and cabinets of the same color. Lower cabinets are made up of a variety of drawers in different sizes, while glass-front doors above display lovely tableware.
9. Celadon Cabinets with a Painted Island
The custom Plain English kitchen in this Nantucket cottage features rustic wood counters set against light celadon cabinets. To provide additional rhythm to the walls, pearly Moroccan wall tiles that match the cabinetry’s hue are installed to the ceiling without grout. The warm white is contrasted with a slate backsplash. The base of the work table has a lovely green paint job and appears to be furniture.
10. Vented Cabinets
In this butler’s pantry designed by Timothy Whealon, vents serve as both a decorative and practical cabinet door feature, offering airflow and a subtle pattern. The sophisticated Calacatta Oro (Marmi Natural Stone) countertops are used. Moroccan artisans created the backsplash tiles by hand. The functional workstation is illuminated by thin library lights (Ann-Morris).
11. Taupe Cabinets with Green Island
The kitchen has a calm balance thanks to a bespoke oak-topped island, green Italian tiles, and a subdued taupe design. This English country home’s wild pattern and color scheme are visually counterbalanced by the kitchen’s minimalistic style.
12. Lacquered Onyx Cabinets
Lacquered onyx paint on the original woodwork of the house and freshly milled appliance fronts, too many coats to count, according to designer Sarah Blank, reflect the glitzy mood of the black-and-white marble flooring in this butler’s pantry in Connecticut.
13. Bleached Oak Cabinetry
The kitchen’s marble counters and plaster walls are made cozier by the geometric stained oak floors and bleached oak cabinets. The kitchen in this Palm Beach home designed by Mary McDonald is dynamic thanks to the bespoke cube flooring and the backsplash and countertop’s delicate veining of Calacatta Lasa gold marble.
14. Salvaged Cabinets
Alongside co-founder Kurt Bielawski, MORE Design + Build was hired as the contractor for the 2023 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Dallas. According to Bielawski, “this kitchen needed to feel like it could have gone to the same party,” because the house itself is an older Dallas residence. “My passion for cooking, my love of traveling throughout Europe, and my appreciation for a simple yet sophisticated lifestyle and aesthetic led me to create the impression that it’s an old space”.
15. Seafoam Island
In this ancient Charleston home, the owners’ Australian shepherd, Bear, relaxes on the kitchen’s broad board flooring, which has been worn smooth by centuries of use. Above the seafoam-colored island, a lantern in cheerful yellow from Charleston’s Urban Electric Co. provides an unexpected splash of color to the kitchen.
16. Under-Island Cabinets
The stone-clad kitchen (Christopher Peacock) in this seven-story Beaux Arts townhouse in New York combines sivec, arabescato, and dolomite surfaces. Plenty of storage is provided by under-island cabinets and higher and lower cabinets of the same design.
17. No Upper Cabinets
Kenneth Noland’s Mexican Camino is the ideal way to fill the kitchen with calm color because there are no top cabinets. Like the remainder of the Los Angeles home built by Michael S. Smith, this kitchen area is open to the great room, which is made of plain bleached walnut boards.
18. Neutral Cabinets
In this 1920s Tudor in Houston, Charlotte Moss created a kitchen backsplash mural using Portuguese tiles that resemble classical artwork. The striking tilework is highlighted by upper and lower cabinetry in a serene, neutral color scheme.
19. White Cabinets with Gold Hardware
While a huge white island and cabinets with gold hardware create a clean palette for splashes of blue and yellow, Statuario marble clads the kitchen walls in earthly luxury. Maximum vertical storage is provided by upper cabinets that reach the ceiling. The hand-painted floor tiles in the next breakfast room were influenced by the bar at Le Sirenuse in Positano, Italy, which is visible in the foreground. The opulence of this Atlanta house is reflected in the formal kitchen.
20. Bright Blue Paneled Cabinets
The paneled cabinets in the informal kitchen of this Newport Beach home, designed by Gil Schafer and the late Suzanne Rheinstein, evoked the blue of the surrounding sea.
21. Open Shelving with White Paneled Cabinets
In Mia Reay’s Jacobean castle, designed by George Webster in the early 19th century, open kitchen shelving is crowned by a treasured collection of Wedgwood dishes. Apart from the Victorian-style checkered floor tiles, this all-white kitchen has a lot of textural variation thanks to the lower cabinet fronts with the vertical paneling feature, the simple white square backsplash tile, the painted wood table, and the white wicker seats.
22. Tree Bark-Embellished Cabinets
Details like the bark panels on cabinet doors are examples of how designer Richard Keith Langham allowed for whimsy to help create a distinctive sense of place in this hunting lodge in Mississippi. The kitchen’s suede swivel counter stools (Louis J. Solomon) and maple-topped island are illuminated by a wrought-iron chandelier (Currey & Company).
23. Antique-Inspired Cabinets
The cabinets and molding profiles, as well as the dark wood floors in the kitchen, are reminiscent of the adjacent rooms in this Steven Gambrel-designed estate from the 1920s in New Jersey. He gave the room striking accents like textured shades, a veneered table, and a hood made of brass and gunmetal. Tonal gray millwork contrasts with golden leather cantilever seating (York Street Studio). Indigo green marble is used to create the island countertop.
24. Green Cabinets
Charlotte Moss’s 1920s Tudor home in Houston features a traditional butler’s pantry painted Dartsmouth Green (Benjamin Moore) and adorned with vintage satin nickel fittings. Upper cabinets with glass fronts showcase silverware and glassware. It is perfect to play around with color and pattern in this little area of a house.
25. Linen White Cabinets with Burgundy Interiors
An optimistic proposal was given to interior designer Kristen McCory by her clients in Hartford, Connecticut: Start with a deep burgundy Lacanche range and hood, and then don’t hold back. He replicated the deep tone on the floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in a butler’s pantry next door as well as inside the glass cabinets on either side of the sink. The beauty, however, lies in the balance, much like any delightful spice.
26. French Gray Cabinets
This eat-in kitchen is surrounded by lovely cabinets that are painted French Gray by Farrow & Ball, matching the color of the walls. This Dallas home’s kitchen features metal lighting pendants that are adorned with custom slipcovers (The Lamp Shoppe) made from French linen tea towels.
27. White Oak Cabinets
Designer Jane Schwab’s light-filled Charlotte penthouse exudes organic beauty with its white oak cabinetry, plaster-finished walls, and earthy ceramic lamps (Gregorius Pineo). Height and light are created without being heavy by tall doors, some of which have transoms with beautiful scrolled muntins that were developed by the architects. There are other instances of this application around the house.
28. Stand-Alone Glass-Front Cabinets
Stephanie Sabbe designed this rustic writer’s cabin in Tennessee, which has stand-alone glass-front cabinet pieces to store dishes and glassware. The enormous lights above the island were located at Golden Oldies in High Point, a popular first destination for editors and designers visiting the city for the twice-yearly furniture show.
29. Stained Wood Glass-Front Cabinets
This stunning green island and vent hood was created by Officine Gullo’s artisans in Florence and complemented the traditional style of stained wood cabinets with glass fronts along the wall. In a Chicago home designed by Summer Thornton, windows overlooking the sea-green quartzite counter and backsplash are framed by Portuguese tiles.
30. White Cabinets with Gold Hardware
With a wall of windows above them and delicate gold drawer pulls these traditional white cabinets have a modern appearance. The spacious silhouette of the custom kitchen island (Old Plank Antiques) in this stately Richmond home designed by Suzanne Kasler is echoed in front by iron-and-brass Paul Ferrante stools.
