Kitchen HarmonyReston, VA

To create a space that both owners can cook in harmony.

The abundance of Bertch Legacy Cabinets in rich ‘Alder’ wood species with a Mocha stain keeps the space clutter-free, and the major fixtures and faucets are clean and simple yet eye-catching. The placement of a pass through at the top of the stairs allows guest to view the welcoming kitchen on the second floor. The natural stone and glass horizontal tiled backsplash, with under cabinet accent lights gives the kitchen a sophisticated feel. Stainless steel fixtures and soft light accents and complements this modern Zen aesthetic. The open kitchen invites interaction between guests and the cook. This smart layout aids maneuverability, while a large window at the end of the home allows natural sunlight to pour in, reducing the need for constant artificial lighting. Silestone countertops and a stainless steel sink in the kitchen were chosen for their durability. Design elements are both functional and eye-catching in the kitchen. Stools around the main kitchen island welcome versatility, practicality, and convivial conversation with the cook.
