This contemporary blue, white and natural wood kitchen won the votes of the HGTV audience and the Designer of the Year Awards judges panel. It's punchy, yet simple design, by Beauty is Abundant, stood out amoung the rest.

Fluted wood details are an unexpected style element in the kitchen, drawing the eye to the range hood and island. Barely there lucite counter stools keep the wood's texture on full display.

Brass fixtures are a warm glow over the sink, the gold color nicely complementing the floating shelves' wood. Marble tile layers in depth on the kitchen's backsplash.

Pretty paper lanterns float over the island, a delicate companion to the lightness of the wood fluting. Lucite counterstools are another airy element.
