Two-Tone European Kitchen in Walnut and Graphite

The project

The room is built in two finishes that divide by height. Wall cabinets and the upper section of the tall bank are a flat graphite matte; the base run, the island and the lower tall units are a walnut-look woodgrain. The division is horizontal and consistent, so the dark band reads as a continuous line around the room.

Tall units run the full height of a sloped ceiling on the range wall, with the top boxes cut to follow the slope rather than stopping square and leaving a dust shelf above them. An open niche is left in the tall bank beside the refrigerator, lined in the same woodgrain as the fronts.

Fronts are full-height slabs on black bar pulls, set vertically on the tall doors and horizontally on the drawer banks. A continuous LED strip is concealed under the wall cabinets, lighting the counter run and the splash behind it.
