Minimalist espresso kitchen

A simple door style keeps the kitchen cabinets looking clean and uncomplicated, while a mix of stained and painted finishes stirs up plenty of visual interest.

Both the center island and the cooktop wall hold cabinets that are stained espresso. Cabinetwork on the side walls repeats the blue-green of the ceiling beams. Stainless steel appliances shine beside the rich cabinetry.
