A one-wall kitchen that doesn’t compromise.
This guest house sits on the water, and the lower level opens through garage-door-style openings that make the whole space feel airy and open to the shore. Against all that light and landscape, we chose a rich royal blue for the cabinetry, a hand-applied, hand-finished look rather than high gloss, so the color feels deep and settled instead of flashy.
Satin brass hardware warms it, white marble and a simple white subway tile keep it crisp.
The cabinetry is from our Motra collection, a modern look built with traditional craftsmanship. I love that pairing, because clean lines are only as good as the joinery behind them.
Everything a kitchen needs sits along one wall within easy reach, with floating shelves and tall cabinetry for storage, while the island, finished in the same royal blue with brass accents, anchors the room as a place to gather.
The best kitchens really don’t need to be complicated… A clear idea, a confident color, and careful craftsmanship are enough.
Would you go bold with color in a vacation home, or keep it neutral? I’d love to know.
As with every commission, we designed, built, delivered, installed, and finished each element ourselves.
Save this one for your guest house kitchen inspo, and follow along for more from us. You can find the full portfolio at the link 🔗 in bio.
