Pushing the boundaries of traditional design, this kitchen utilizes shapes, lines, and colour to define this space and draw the viewers eye around the room to the various details. Traditional materials such as wood cabinets, marble countertops and backsplash and brass fixtures are utilized in non-traditional ways to redefine the traditional kitchen. These custom cabinets by Forged Oaks in San Antonio are truly a work of art from the construction to the brass inset details to the beautiful finish.

Custom cabinet doors with 3 dimensional details adorn the tower cabinets that flank the range wall, housing small appliances and pantry items with roll out cabinet inserts. These same cabinets feature inset brass rivets, inlaid brass details, and cut rock crystal knobs that repeat the pyramid effect of the 3 dimensional doors. The use of colour and pattern in the marble backsplash tile commands the focus and is contrasted by the simplicity of the shapes of the custom brass vent hood and light sconces.

The juxtaposition of the very neutral, monochromatic colour scheme of the natural wood cabinetry and floors with the bold choice of colour and pattern in the backsplash creates excitement for the viewer. This home renovation was designed for a young, fashion-forward couple who are not intimidated by colour and the mixing of patterns. Every room in this home while different carries with it the same theme of the unexpected use of materials and colour, and attention to the smallest of detail.
