Scarcely Filled Wall Gets Function and Style

The homeowners knew something was needed in this space with under scaled art, but had functioning issues that needed to be addressed as well.  This was a "drop zone" coming in from the garage that shared space with the kitchen. We needed a surface on which to set mail, keys, etc. and it needed to be beautiful to look at.

"Contemporary and not an image" was the request for art. Our job was to coordinate finishes and scale it accordingly. This mixed metals composition did the trick.
The buffet was brought in to house a few drop zone essentials and a place for extra lighting. We framed the entire wall's composition by picking a lamp with a contemporary curve that speaks to the art but completes the whole frame.
A large scaled ceramic tray with silver fruits reveals the simple clean line message the clients wanted for their existing space.

Kitchen Collection Part 1

There is musicality in designing above kitchen cabinets; a delicate balance between filling the entire space and not filling it out enough. A certain rhythm must be achieved with the right accessories to achieve a great composition.

A pair of large scale jugs were brought in for proportion and color. Larger plates and a new position for the grasses make for the beat we were looking for. A Mackinzie-Childs tea kettle was given a few red blooms for a final touch.
