A Modern Interior Mix
When it comes to kitchen d�cor, �there are two categories of people,� explains Sonny Nazemian of Michael Nash Custom Kitchens & Homes, Inc. �Those who love stain and those who love color.� In this case, clients Jane and Alan Luba of Centreville, Virginia, fell emphatically into the latter category. The homeowners, who have a modern sensibility, approached him to design a sleek, minimalist kitchen with strong colors and finishes.
The blue-lacquered cabinets with stainless-steel appliances create a striking kitchen landscape.
They began with the cabinetry. �We went through four colors before Jane saw the one she wanted,� Nazemian says. �She was after this particular shade of blue.� The cabinets are wood�their final finish: cobalt blue, high-gloss lacquer and acrylic. The design team added a row of stainless-steel and frosted-glass cabinets at ceiling level to create a visual connection with the kitchen�s stainless-steel appliances and backsplash.
Accents enhance the kitchen�s distinctive look.
Jane Luba, who owns her own catering business, also wanted to reconfigure the layout of her kitchen for better flow. Nazemian�s team opened up the space between the kitchen and family room, created a door to the dining room, and transformed the peninsula into an island. They also introduced much larger appliances, relocated them and added better lighting. �When you work with colors, you need proper lighting,� Nazemian says. �Semi-warm halogen lights showed the blue best.�
