Stainless steel can become a neutral in a white kitchen
Bright reflective surfaces–white and brushed stainless steel–help a space-challenged kitchen look large and cool even when a staircase occupies valuable real estate.
It’s also clear that every inch matters when a Wolf wall oven gets installed under the stairs as a supplement to a 48-inch range just a few steps away. The presence of two dishwashers indicates that the kitchen must function for large parties and stashing a microwave on an upper-cabinet level shelf sends another message: young children don’t cook here.
This handsome design by New York designer Eve Robinson treats a serious range ventilation system as a decorative element, an effective approach to the form follows function mantra that so often raises issues in kitchens. Other noteworthy details include a flat screen TV suspended from the ceiling (another wall-space saver), the charming brick-pattern floor that appears to be vinyl, and the two main design elements neatly crystallized around a Saarinen table and Philippe Starck’s brushed aluminum Hudson chairs.xxx
