Color and Texture

Starting with a blank canvas and then layering color, pattern, and texture creates the narrative of a kitchen. It can be minimal with efficiency in mind or maximalist with layers, telling the homeowner's story. The tone and color can change with the soft morning light or afternoon sun. Farrow and Ball are known for their response to light, and the weight and texture of the tile add richness and warmth. Hardware selection is an opportunity to highlight an architectural style or add an artisanal touch. Noted designer Mark D. Sikes and Modern Matter have collaborated on a collection that reflects his classic aesthetic. The organic forms of the new collection from Rocky Mountain Hardware make a contemporary statement.
