October 9 - Kitchen Material Palette

Looks like the material palette for the kitchen is coming together. We have tentatively narrowed down our tiles and cabinet selections to the following. (Selections listed in this blog are not final until confirmed in the final draft of the Specifications Guide.)

Cabinets: IKEA Akurum frame, Lidingo white cabinets
Interior Fittings: IKEA Rationell
Hardware: TBD



















Floor: Villeroy and Boch, Zoom, Brown, 45cmX45cm (18"X18" approx), matte finish













Backsplash: Oceanside, 1"X1", single-wide, amber, non-iridescent, Tessera (more organic edging) or Muse (cleaner edging)


























In order to complete our palette , I made a trip to the stones warehouse today to find a granite for the countertops. Here are three that I like:

Bin 30- Kashmir White
Bin 83 - Serenata
Bin 51 - Sage Brush

They all contain subtle brown specks or grains over a lighter base color and would work well with the rusty orange and offwhite color scheme we have developed for the kitchen. These snapshots don't do the real stones justice. (They appear more gray on the computer screen than in reality.) To follow up, it would be great if the clients get a chance to visit the warehouse to see the slabs in their entirety.
