Smaller spaces present huge opportunities for creativity. This compact kitchen features a balance of bold color choices, oversized materials and multi-directional lighting to pack an impressive punch.
1. Handcrafted, varying-diameter spruce logs with round-on-round/Swedish-cope profile make an impressive statement in the diminutive space.
2. The cabinets’ dark Wedgwood-blue stain is an elegant choice, but the chicken-wire and glass fronts bring it firmly back to its rustic roots.
3. Wood absorbs light, so illumination in a log-home kitchen is key. These skylights flood the room in sunlight.
4. A freestanding butcher-block island allows you to adjust the location of the prep space as needed, but its casual charm won’t take a back seat to its practicality.
5. Square slate tiles in tones of rust, cream and cobalt create a patchwork-quilt effect on the floor and define the kitchen without the need for walls.
