Mixed Material Kitchens

Design

Mixed material kitchens are a great way to celebrate the intricacies of your style. Done thoughtfully, mixing finishes, materials, and styles can elevate a space. Particularly in historic homes, mixing and matching can allow you to highlight original details while bringing a contemporary touch to the space. Particularly in kitchens, the possibilities are endless - mix it up with your facet finish, cabinet pulls, stone countertop, and cabinet finish for a truly unique space.

Mixed materials can be a great way to integrate historic features, such as fireplace hearth or tin ceilings. Reclaimed wood and contrasting textures complete the look of these two Brooklyn Heights homes.

Different stone and cabinet finishes at the island can create interest in large kitchens. Utilizing color and contrasting hardware can add balance to spaces.

Even in limited color palette spaces, utilizing materials with rich, varying textures can create striking visual interest.
