The kitchen design helps to define the color pallet of your space.
Design tip: When selecting materials be sure to pic up colors from other areas in the room. When a natural stone pulls colors from the cabinets and walls it can help to pull the space together and create a connection between these elements.
Design tip: if you have harsh paterns in other areas of the space using a more consistant solid color for the countertops can help to calm down the design and have a place for the eye to rest.
