A 30-in. counter-depth refrigerator and freezer set was chosen to save on precious space in this small kitchen. The set was also split up and placed on either side of one wall to create symmetry and maximize countertop usage on either side of the sink.
“Another small-space solution that worked well in this kitchen was the hidden hood vent,” said Maestri Studio interior designer Katie Paulsen. “Rather than doing a large dropped-down hood, we were able to tuck it up inside a custom piece of millwork and raise the height to add to the open feel.”
“Our color choices for the master bathroom were soft with subtle contrasts throughout,” said Paulsen. “Accenting the trim details in white created lines around the room that helps draw your eye around the space and make it feel larger.”
For a spa-like feel, the design team created an open plan and created a custom corner vanity that wraps around one edge of the room to take advantage of as much square footage as possible.
The fun teal and white backsplash by Fireclay Tile – along with the brass finishes throughout – echo Art Deco origins and bring personality to the small kitchen. The cabinetry is a deep gray that dramatically contrasts with white wall paint and trim details, both of which help make the space look larger. The ceiling also was painted a subtle gray to draw the eye up and emphasize the small kitchen size.
An overall white and gray palette contributes to the open and airy feel of this bathroom, while the brass hardware and light fixtures give a sense of glamour while connecting with the kitchen space.
Another small-space solution in the primary bath was the frameless glass shower enclosure, which allowed the team to include a larger shower without closing off the room. In addition, the wall-mounted tub faucet allows for the bathtub to sit closer to the wall and contribute to the open layout.
