Vancouver designer Melanie Finkleman shares her tricks and tips for creating a beautiful kitchen.
Look for places to add visual interest in a white kitchen. Here, Finkleman used darker grout on the white subway tile on the backsplash, and a charcoal paint on the lower cabinets of the island.
If you’re a baker, go for a bigger sink. Melanie Finkleman loves a large single bowl over a double sink—it’s easier to clean a cookie sheet or rinse a pan when you’ve got more space.
Find storage in unusual spots. This room has a classic pantry, but it also has a secret storage stash under the banquette in the eating area that’s perfect for toys and art supplies.
