Kitchen, rural modern

The minimalist kitchen features Caesarstone countertops, Corian backsplashes, and maple cabinetry.

Custom oak clad kitchen integrates wall and floor finishes

This kitchen in Austin, Texas, was designed by Royce Flournoy and expertly combines black, Shaker-style cabinets, white subway tiles, Carrera marble countertops, and wooden floors to create a balance between rustic warmth and industrial simplicity.

The simple kitchen provides unobstructed views of the lake while cooking. Clerestory windows provide ample diffused light while encouraging cross ventilation.

The kitchen countertops are black quartz, offering a strong visual contrast to the plywood. “Leïla and Xavier enjoy having friends over to sit at the kitchen island, which is the center of the space,” says architect Catherine Milanese.

The mezzanine is fenced by slats of whitewashed pine, and acts as the children’s playroom and hangout space.

A vaulted ceiling interspersed with skylights, in tandem with floor-to-ceiling glass, fills the home with natural light.

Cheng opened up the kitchen to the main living spaces and gave it an uber-functional layout.

"The wife’s vision was to create a very calming interior using a minimalist material palette," explains Mac. "The custom kitchen was designed to be elemental—we wanted [it] to feel more integrated [with the rest of the space]. The oak cabinets, concrete countertops, and appliance placements all reinforced this aesthetic."

The design maximizes storage and minimizes visual clutter.

The kitchen includes a stainless steel Summit Appliance® range, dishwasher, and a 30” refrigerator with enough room for a 6-person dining table.
