Designer Sarah Robertson of Studio Dearborn helped a neighbor and friend to update a “builder grade” kitchen into a personal, family space that feels luxurious and inviting. The homeowner wanted to solve a number of storage and flow problems in the kitchen, including a wasted area dedicated to a desk, too-little pantry storage, and her wish for a kitchen bar. The all white builder kitchen lacked character, and the client wanted to inject color, texture and personality into the kitchen while keeping it classic.

A matte black kitchen faucet stands out against a dark tile backsplash and granite countertops, with natural light pouring in through the window. Nearby, a compact orange vase with a sunflower adds a cheerful pop of color to this modern setup.
