With such an incredible view outside, it was important for these homeowners to blend nature's beauty with the design of their kitchen. Designer Lori Carroll used carefully chosen patterns and textures to reflect the desert views outside. A bold but still neutral color palette reflects the varying hues seen from the large wall of windows above the sink.

A great place for entertaining, this Southwestern-style kitchen features several seating areas, including barstools, kitchen island seating and even a custom banquette.

Despite the fact that almost an entire wall of this Tucson kitchen is set apart for displaying the picturesque desert views, a curved line of cabinets is placed just below the windows in order to make smart use of space without sacrificing beauty.

Curved upholstered seating in this spacious banquette assures there's always plenty of room for family and friends to cozy up and enjoy a delicious meal beneath a jaw-dropping view.

A few chairs at the end of this curved kitchen island allow family and friends to gather in the kitchen, keeping the cook company while also taking in the amazing desert skies seen from every window in this Southwestern kitchen.

A kitchen that features a convenient pot filler, display cupboards and even under-cabinet lighting makes light of kitchen duties and allows more time for enjoying the beautiful space.
