9. Color and Shimmer
This Denver kitchen remodeled by Lindy Design Build radiates energy thanks to its custom brass hood and colorful Moroccan tile range backsplash in a classic Persian star pattern. The rich green lower cabinets and large center island are topped by Cambria’s Inverness Gold quartz countertops, which have a subtle shimmer that ties in to the hood as well as the brass lighting. Overhead, a striking coffered ceiling echoes the warm wood floor and adds architectural drama.

8. Pops of Playfulness
A painted terra-cotta tile backsplash and a playful contemporary light fixture add panache to the white, black and wood color scheme of this La Jolla, California, kitchen by designer Allison Garrison of Allito Spaces. Garrison — who uses Houzz Pro software to manage her design business, including 2D and 3D features, proposals and invoicing — chose a medium-dark stain for the rift white oak cabinets to unify the kitchen with the rest of the Tuscan-style home. Ribbed glass inserts and creamy white lower cabinets balance the darkness of the wood, black granite countertops and range hood.

7. Contemporary Yet Cozy
Donna Rose Design and contractor Brian Airehart of Airehart Construction brought warmth and contrast to this Chico, California, open-plan kitchen with white oak cabinets, a navy blue island, black steel-and-glass cabinets and a smooth white plaster range with a white oak detail. The zellige tiles on the backsplash had extreme color variation, but the designer toned it down by using a thin grout line with a custom light gray grout that blends with the tiles — a tip the designer picked up from a Houzz article.

6. Forest Feel
In both color and texture, this Sunnyvale, California, kitchen — part of a complete home renovation and addition by Baron Construction and Remodeling — echoes the leafy view through the large window above the sink. Modern slab-front cabinetry in a warm, rich wood is a natural pairing with the variegated green backsplash tile. White walls, stainless steel accents and natural sunlight keep the sylvan space from feeling too dark.
