Kitchen • 15 Central Park W Unit 11L, New York, NY 10023
The main kitchen wall and ceiling receive a deep cobalt blue paint. Custom cabinets match this hue in a muted matte finish. High-gloss indigo tiles reflect light from the backsplash. A warm terracotta counter panel creates a bold focal point.
This design envelops the viewer in rich color. Hues extend across surfaces, blurring boundaries. Dark walnut flooring grounds the space. Integrated warm lighting deepens the dominant blue.
The room's color defines and connects every surface.
Design Philosophy
This design uses Immersive Hue to create a continuous color field. The cobalt blue drenching extends across walls and ceiling planes. Boundary Dissolution blurs the line between surfaces. Tonal cabinets further integrate the color story.
Spatial Narrative
Your eye first lands on the deep blue ceiling extending into the wall. It then follows the blue through the tonal cabinetry. The terracotta accent counter draws focus, defining a specific activity zone.
Light Study
Morning light enters from the left, illuminating the glossy backsplash with direct gleam. As the day progresses, it softens, deepening the cobalt blue. In the evening, warm integrated lighting brings out the blue's richer undertones and highlights the terracotta's warmth.
Living Vignette
A plate of freshly sliced citrus rests on the dark soapstone counter. Its bright colors pop against the deep blue backdrop.
Material Palette
