Two light wood (maple and cherry) tones play off each other in the cabinetry, accentuated by the dramatic dark granite countertop that sweeps up the wall to create a backsplash. Modular back-lit cabinet doors provide indirect lighting, and subtle interest. The warm wood tones are offset by the stainless steel accents – through appliances, appliance garages and handles. All the pieces contribute to the contemporary lines of this kitchen, creating impact where there had been none before.
