  • Subtle but impactful design choices – like the rattan pendant lights, wavy backsplash tiles and statement island color – create a refined coastal vibe that echoes the space’s picturesque Geist Reservoir views.
  • Luxury vinyl plank flooring replaces the carpet and ceramic tile, unifying the space with the rest of the house and providing durability between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
  • Light cabinets with contrasting dark perimeter counters are offset by the white countertops on the dark blue island, drawing the eye to the center of the room.
  • A warm accent color on the tray ceiling creates a visual effect that expands the room, making the space feel more open.
