Trend #6: Open Floor Plan Open floor plans (OFP) have been popular for many years and continue to be in 2015. The reason homeowners prefer the open living concept (particularly in the kitchen) is because the kitchen is truly "the heart of the home" - the Hub - where family and friends naturally gravitate to.

The kitchen of this home was a labor of love and everything was carefully planned and executed to ensure it was a work of art, in a sense. At the heart of it is the 10 foot wide by 4 foot deep White Oak island with plentiful room for 4 people to sit comfortably. They choose gray as the cabinet color, specifically Benjamin Moore Gray Owl. Pike wanted a color that wasn't too bold and would take away from the other elements of the space, but we also didn't want to just go with the easy choice, white. Gray cabinets are in trend right now and for good reason as we are sure many people go through that same logic we went through. The cabinetry was custom crafted in Charlotte and is all beaded inset. A cabinet front Thermador fridge can be found at the far right of this picture. Tying the whole space together is the mosaic backslash tile. The tile is visually stunning and brought all the color tones of the space into harmony. The mosaic tile is Soho Studio Empress Helena ( http://www.sohostudiocorp.com/empress-helena-asian-statuary-with-brass-line-mjemphelen) Pendants- Hudson Valley Lighting Latham ( https://hudsonvalleylighting.hvlgroup.com/Product/4009-PN) Library Sconces- Hudson Valley Lighting Garden City ( https://hudsonvalleylighting.hvlgroup.com/Product/8331-AGB)
