Favorite Neutral Shade: Taupes and grays. A kitchen in a neutral palette is a soothing environment to spend time in, and neutrals make the food and people in the space look gorgeous.
Warm wood tones, rich metal finishes, and surface materials with depth are inherently welcoming—ideal for the heart of the home. I often use resilient quartzite slabs for countertops and backsplashes, many having crystalline waves of beige, taupe, gray, and green hues swirling through them. Bleached walnut and cerused oak are two of my go-to cabinetry finishes, paired with off-white walls and earthy stone floors.
