Hickory wood cabinetry, custom-designed in Atlanta, Ga., establishes the room's subdued neutral palette.

Variation in tile — both travertine and glass — lends interest in the space, where sliver windows, capped with extension-arm lamps, provide ample task lighting. Outlets are concealed atop each tiled window ledge.

Floating display shelves showcase earth-toned pottery. A collection of wood and metal vessels draws the eye, while Serenbe custom jams add the needed pop of color.

Frameless cabinetry complete with full overlay doors is paired with stainless steel, satin nickel and galvanized metal to tell a story of warm and cool surfaces.
