Proper Functioning - Photos & Ideas

Our Austin studio decided to go bold with this project by ensuring that each space had a unique identity in the Mid-Century Modern style bathroom, butler's pantry, and mudroom. We covered the bathroom walls and flooring with stylish beige and yellow tile that was cleverly installed to look like two different patterns. The mint cabinet and pink vanity reflect the mid-century color palette. The stylish knobs and fittings add an extra splash of fun to the bathroom. The butler's pantry is located right behind the kitchen and serves multiple functions like storage, a study area, and a bar. We went with a moody blue color for the cabinets and included a raw wood open shelf to give depth and warmth to the space. We went with some gorgeous artistic tiles that create a bold, intriguing look in the space. In the mudroom, we used siding materials to create a shiplap effect to create warmth and texture – a homage to the classic Mid-Century Modern design. We used the same blue from the butler's pantry to create a cohesive effect. The large mint cabinets add a lighter touch to the space.

This dream bathroom has everything one can wish for an ideal bathroom escape. It doesn’t just look fabulous – it works well and it is built to stand the test of time. This bathroom was designed as a private oasis, a place to relax and unwind. Spa-like environment is created by expansive double-sink custom vanity, an elegant free standing tub, and a spacious two-person barrier-free shower with a floating bench. Toilet is concealed within a separate nook behind a pocket door. Main bathroom area is outlined by a tray ceiling perimeter. The room looks open, airy and spacious. Nothing interferes with the ceiling design and overall space configuration. It hasn’t always been that way. Former layout had serious pitfalls that made the room look much smaller. The shower concealed behind solid walls protruded into the main area clashing with the tray ceiling geometry. Massive shower stall took up significant amount of the room leaving no continuous wall space for a double sink vanity. There were two separate vanities with a dead corner space between them. At the same time, the toilet room was quite spacious with just one fixture in the far end. New layout not only looks better, it allows for a better functionality and fully reveals the space potential. The toilet was relocated to occupy the former linen closet space slightly expanded into adjacent walk-in closet. Shower was moved into the bigger alcove, away from the tray ceiling area. It opened up the room while giving space for a gorgeous wall-to-wall vanity. Having a full glass wall, the shower extends the space even further. Sparkling glass creates no barrier to the eyesight. The room feels clean, breezy and extra spacious. Gorgeous frameless shower enclosure with glass-to-glass clamps and hinges shows off premium tile designs of the accent shower wall. Free standing tub remained in its original place in front of the window. With no solid shower walls nearby, it became a focal point adorned with the new crystal chandelier above it. This two-tier gorgeous chandelier makes the bathroom feel incredibly grand. A touch of luxury is showing up in timeless polished chrome faucet finish selections as well. New expansive custom vanity has his and her full height linen towers, his and her sink cabinets with two individual banks of drawers on the sides and one shared drawer cabinet in the middle containing a charging station in the upper drawer. Vanity counter tops and floating shower seat top are made of high-end quartz. Vessel sinks resemble the shape and style of the free-standing tub. To make the room feel even more spacious and to showcase the shower area in the reflection, a full size mirror is installed over the vanity. Crystal sconces are installed directly into the mirror. Crisp classic white tile gives the room a timeless sense of polish and luxury. Walls around the perimeter of the entire bathroom are tiled half way. Three rows of 12”x 24” porcelain tile resembling white marble are crowned with a thin row of intricate glass tiles with marble accents, and a chair rail tile. Tile design flows into a spacious barrier-free two-person walk-in shower. Two more tile patterns of the same tile collection are brought into play. Rear wall is adorned with a picture frame made out of 12”x12” tiles laid at 45 degree angle within the same chair rail and glass tile border. Shower floor is made of small hexagon tiles for proper drainage. Shower area has two hidden from plain sight niches to contain shampoo bottles and toiletries. The rear side of the niches is made of glass mosaics for a waterfall effect. To showcase the picture frame inside the shower, the accent shower wall is washed with cascading light from a discrete LED strip tucked in a cove behind “floating” shower ceiling platform. Multiple shower heads (two ceiling-mount rain heads, one multi-functional wall mount shower head, and a handheld shower) are able to provide a fully customizable shower experience. Despite of many hard surfaces and shiny finishes, which can sometimes lead to a cold impersonal feeling, this bathroom is cozy and truly welcoming. This sense of warms is maintained by exclusive multi-functional layered lighting. Carefully designed groups of lights (all having a dimmer control) can be used simultaneously, in various combinations, or separately to create numerous different effects and perfect atmosphere for every mood and occasion. Some lights have smart controls and can be operated remotely. Amazing effect can be achieved by dimmable toe kick perimeter lighting. With the ceiling lights turned off, the vanity looks as if it is floating in the air. Multifaceted crystal fixtures produce cascades of sparkling rainbow reflections dancing around the room and creating an illusion of a starry sky. Programmable radiant heating floor offers additional warmth and comfort to the room. This bathroom is well suited for either a quick morning shower or a night in for ultimate relaxation with a champagne toast and a long soak in the freestanding tub.

Our client wasn't ready to leave the home she loved, but a change in her health had made the upstairs bathroom harder to reach, and the main level didn't have a full bath. We converted one bay of her three-car garage into livable space, which gave us the room to build a fully accessible bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a proper mudroom and laundry on the level she actually lived on. Wide doorways. Heated floors. A curbless shower with a drain that disappears under the wall. Aged brass grab bars that read like jewelry rather than hospital equipment.

If you want to bring an element of vibrant color and sophistication into your kitchen space, then you might consider investing in a set of high-quality navy blue kitchen cabinets manufactured by a reputed brand or company such as Cabinet DIY. Navy is a chic and smart shade of blue that can create an ambiance of calm and elegant modernity in your interiors.

Navy blue kitchen cabinets will be unique enough to help you stand out without too much extra effort, while also blending in perfectly with most types of kitchen décor. If your kitchen is otherwise monochrome or light-colored, then a set of navy blue kitchen cabinets will also imbue the space with some much-needed energy and radiance. You can also accessorize navy blue cabinets with chrome hinges and knobs, colorful accents, and other elements that will breathe more life into your interiors.

Another advantage of installing navy blue RTA cabinets in your kitchen is that they are extremely affordable, durable, and easy to maintain. Moreover, RTA cabinets are widely available in a variety of shades, finishes, and textures. As they are quite easy to install, navy blue RTA kitchen cabinets are becoming more and more popular among homeowners around the country.

Ideas for Designing a Kitchen with Navy Blue Cabinets

To make the most of your world-class navy blue kitchen cabinets, you should know about some of the most popular design trends that have enthralled interior decorators in recent years. Mentioned below are some unique ideas to make the most of navy blue kitchen cabinets by designing the kitchen space in a thoughtful and innovative manner.

1. Navy Blue Base Cabinets

If you want to try out a set of navy blue kitchen cabinets in your interiors but don’t want to commit fully yet, then you can consider buying a set of blue base cabinets. The base cabinets are often ignored because they’re below the eye level, so using a vibrant and remarkable color for these cabinets will allow them to draw attention and stand out. The upper cabinets can be white or gray, so that the color scheme doesn’t become too overwhelming.

2. Narrow Focus

If you don’t want to paint every cabinet in your kitchen navy blue, then another alternative is to choose a focal piece for the entire kitchen. One popular option is to install a large, spacious pantry cabinet with a painted, navy blue finish. All the other cabinets – including the upper and base cabinets – can be painted in muted whites and grays. This will help make your kitchen space feel minimalistic, chic, and stylish.

3. Proper Lighting

To emphasize the beauty of the elegant navy blue kitchen cabinets, you must ensure sufficient lighting in your kitchen area. The navy blue cabinets must receive adequate natural light, for which they need to be placed close to a window or balcony. Alternatively, you could also use artificial lights including strategically placed chandeliers or pendant lights to illuminate your unique navy blue kitchen cabinets and enhance the visual appeal of your home.

4. Contrasting Backsplashes

You can make the navy blue kitchen cabinets stand out by investing in a set of contrasting backsplashes or feature walls. Hence, light-colored, marble backsplashes might be ideal for such a kitchen, as they would not draw your eyes away from the cabinets or make the kitchen look too busy and colorful. Warm wooden shades and sophisticated grays are some other options that you could consider when designing a kitchen around navy blue cabinetry.

5. Metallic Appliances

Clean-lined gloss cabinets can create an aura of chic, sophisticated modernity when combined with metallic kitchen appliances such as chimneys, ovens, and coffee machines. Metallic appliances, if maintained properly, will make the kitchen look glossy and state-of-the-art. Paired with a set of cool blue cabinets, this design could work wonders for small, urban kitchens. Those who want to make the most of a small space would benefit most from choosing this décor.

In Conclusion

As you can see, there are many ways of creating a beautiful and elegant kitchen space with the help of navy blue RTA cabinets. All you have to do is use your imagination (and a bit of help from a design professional) to create the type of kitchen that suits your personal needs and preferences. High-quality and well-maintained navy blue kitchen cabinets can enhance the functionality and visual appeal of almost any home.
