An open concept kitchen overlooks the pool area. Dramatic herringbone wood look tile holds up to the high humidity and heavy traffic. Metallic faux leather barstools are detailed with nickel nailhead trim. Large double iron pendants over the island provide a delineation of the kitchen space.

Stunning Kitchen & Butler’s Pantry Design This beautifully remodeled kitchen and adjacent butler’s pantry showcase a seamless blend of classic elegance and modern functionality. The open-concept kitchen is anchored by a large navy island with seating for six, topped with bright white quartz countertops. Brass accents in the pendant lighting, cabinet hardware, and faucet add a touch of warmth and sophistication. The perimeter cabinetry features timeless white shaker-style doors, complemented by a sleek, custom wood-trimmed range hood. A striking herringbone backsplash in glossy white tile ties the space together, offering subtle texture and dimension. The butler’s pantry is a hidden gem, designed for both beauty and utility. Navy lower cabinets paired with glass-front white uppers create visual contrast, while a bar sink and beverage fridge make it perfect for entertaining. Gold fixtures, including a stunning modern pendant, elevate the entire area. Gleaming, handmade-look square backsplash tiles bring a refined artisanal touch to the space. Perfect for both everyday living and entertaining, this kitchen and pantry combination exemplifies thoughtful design and luxurious finishes.

Tile the splashback with a pattern - While the traditional subway pattern remains a popular choice with tiling, you can try some alternatives, such as herringbone or hexagon. Hamptons-style kitchens often feature marble or fine imported tiles, but you can find less expensive tiles that still look similar. GET THE LOOK FOR LESS: If your budget doesn’t permit marble tiles, stick to simple budget friendly white subway tiles. Save your pennies instead to invest in a good tiler who knows how to execute complicated patterns like herringbone.
