Kitchens

The Elegant Living Room Bar 

Saturated colors like the warm green of these beautiful, super matte FENIX^® J0750 Verde Comodoro cabinets offer a memorable backdrop for gatherings. Black stone countertops add contrast and depth, while the bronze-toned faucet introduces a warm metallic accent that livens up the darker and more muted hues. It’s a perfect example of how a bold, sophisticated color palette and careful styling can establish a dramatic feel.  

Well-designed bathrooms add elegance and functionality to any home. Bathroom vanities are an easy way to try out a new design idea without tackling a remodeling project in a larger space. With the variety of luxe edge profiles available, you can add a finishing touch to your bathroom countertop as well.

Mudrooms

The Refined Home Office 

Deep colors invite deep thinking in this sophisticated but grounded home office design concept. The workspace captures the moody aesthetic through its use of varied dark tones and a strong statement stone desktop in striking Stormy Night Granite 180fx^® Laminate. The gray, white and black veins add a sense of fluidity and movement for visual intrigue.
