Arlington, Virginia Modern Kitchen and Bathroom #JenniferGilmer http://www.gilmerkitchens.com/

The client's love of sky blue was stunningly incorporated into the design of both their kitchen and bathroom. In the kitchen, the wide use of stainless steel and white keep the mood uplifted and makes for a very practical surface. The glass cabinets mimic clouds, and there is ample lighting to further enhance the effect in this almost windowless kitchen. Triple ovens, built-in sink with Zip tap, integrated fridge and dishwasher, walk-in pantry and clever breakfast bar area, are just some of the features in this kitchen. The bathroom's crisp, blue and white colour scheme is refreshingly lovely and practical. The use of contrasting timber warms the space and echoes the burnished brown tones in the mosaics. The freestanding bath creates a beautiful center piece and the frameless shower whilst spacious, does not crowd the room. Well-chosen tapware and fittings make for a very personlised look.

A palette of timeless white tones throughout this beach house residence is broken up with bursts of orange, grey and copper. Our team worked closely with the client to achieve the perfect kitchen layout with high attention to details such as the placement of chopping board cavities, pull out bins, breakfast bar and pantry shelving.

The guest and master bathrooms include extensive tile finishes, bright chrome fixtures and dark warm wood cabinetry.

Signature Kitchen & Bath Design

This bathroom needed lighting that would match the minimalist theme of clean, straight lines and chrome hardware. Simple light fixtures without the frills can be surprisingly hard to find!
