these three interior designers have been
given a photograph of an empty Galley
kitchen they have free reign to design
it in any way they please my name is
Courtney McLoud and my design style is
elegant but with a wink and a smile I'm
Sasha boff and my design style would be
if Marie Antoinette was at Studio 54 my
name is Becky Carter and my designs are
fearless architectural and pallet Savvy
no clients no restrictions just Blank Space
Space
this is definitely a typical City
Kitchen it's small it's
sad what I don't love is that this
window just it's not getting celebrated
we are really limited on space we're
really going to have to rework this
fit I think in a kitchen one of the
coolest things that you can do is
especially in a small kitchen is to do
tile but tile everywhere I'm selecting a
really beautiful Rich sky blue for my
wall tile and this one in particular is
a fabulous hand glaze tile by fire clay
tile and it really just made me think of
Nature and the outdoors I've decided to
go with a small scale 1ex one Mosaic I
think that this kitchen wants to kind of
feel both retro and futuristic at the
same time and so I like the yellow
because it is a bit of a retro color I
think I want to keep this kitchen really
light and bright because it's a small
Galley kitchen I'm going to cover our
walls in a travertine it's a natural
stone it's going to add this like sense
of luxury into the space on our doorway
separating the adjacent space to the
kitchen I've decided to make this wall a
little bit of a wing here and I'm going
to be adding a market sort of a paret up
the side of this wall parquet and Market
Tre is something that's commonly seen in
more historical buildings and I just
think it would be really fun in my sort
kitchen for the ceiling I'm going to do
this stainless steel ceiling cuz I want
it to be reflective and I really like
how the travertine and stainless steel
kind of go together it's really
important that I keep this kitchen light
so that you can see when you cook on the
ceiling I'm going to be clading the
whole thing with a walnut the kitchen is
inherently going to be a space with a
lot of hard surfaces and I would like to
bring in some warmth and some natural
wood by putting wood on the ceiling so
the ceiling everyone forgets the fifth
wall but I love love love to put
interest on a ceiling and so in this
space I'm planning to introduce a
wonderful pattern from a company called
porter tiio and they do these amazing
handp painted wallpapers on Japanese tea [Music]
[Music]
paper so in this kitchen we have what
looks like an oak floor it's not a very
remarkable material I want to go with
something that's just a little bit more
flashy the flooring that we're going to
be working with here is very heavily
inspired by a designer named geop ponti
and what I'm doing is I'm creating a
geometric field of different colors and
Stones using all these different kind of
stone colors these could be marbles
granits quartz sites you name it I'm
going to use the same travertine stone
that I'm using on the walls on the floor
as well I want there to be a really nice
transition from the wall to the floors
so I really want to incorporate
additional pattern into the space and so
for me the ceiling and the floor are
going to Echo each other my best piece
of advice when you're trying to live on
the edge with pattern is to remember
scale so if you're working with two bold
patterns you want to have one that's
more loose larger more abstract and then
you want to pair that with a pattern
that is tighter more regimental
but in the same or a complimentary [Music]
[Music]
palette so the window has this very
heavy black frame the window frame that
I would like to do is Stone we're going
to be using one of the stones from the
floor which will be this yellow I'm also
changing the design of the framing so
instead of having this more traditional
kind of four panel window system I'm
switching it out to design that feels a
little bit more like something you would
see in a more kind of European modernist
Department I designed a custom roller
shade that is made with brown leather
and perforated with holes so that you
get these little peekaboos of the scene
behind the window I am going to take off
the window frame and I think I'm going
to just create a more simple window
frame around this window so for the
window I wanted to do something that
will be a bit of a literal translation
of a piece from the artist Tomas sareno
his piece is a three-dimensional object
and so I thought it would be really cool
to flatten that design and to turn it
so the first thing I want to do is move
the sink underneath the window and the
idea behind this is that you can wash
your dishes you can clean your fruits
and you can really enjoy this view now
for me in a small kitchen like this the
best real estate is right next to the
window so I really don't want to ruin
that area with just a really big blocky
piece and so I want to actually flip
that and move that tall solid piece away
from the window so that I can open that
up and instead use that as a space that
will be a work prep area when I got the
heartbreaking news from ad that I could
not take down this wall I started to
really lean into a true Galley kitchen I
started doing research on luxury Yachts
trailers airstreams airplanes if you
have to have a real Galley let's look at
some real G I'm going to be making my
upper cabinets so that they are designed
to be angled and the angle is going to
be tighter at the bottom and wider at
the top something that I love about this
is it kind of feels like Marvin the
Martian it's giving this spaceship Vibe
I'm paneling the fridge and all of our
Cabinetry in stainless steel and the way
that the steel works with the travertine
it's almost like a natural material with
this kind of like reflective silvery
finish you're almost not going to see
any of the appliances in my kitchen for
the cabinets in my kitchen I am planning
to use a coraly pinky red I really
thought that it would help to reinforce
the nature or natural Vibe of the space
and be a perfect compliment to the sky
blue of the wall tile I've Incorporated
a bit of shine through a lacquer finish
so that will definitely add to making
the space feel brighter what I really
don't like you would walk into the space
and the first thing you would see would
kind of be this like big refrigerator I
always like to hide them so what I'm
going to do with the fridge is I'm going
to move it to the left side of the space
that way when you walk into the room you
are not going to you know see the fridge
first so on my upper cabinets I'm going
to be designing them with these port
hole windows that allow you to see ever
so slightly into the cabinets themselves
I like it because it does hearken back
to a little bit of a marine feel it
might be something you would see on a
boat or you might see it in a vintage
trailer I have Incorporated very tall
upper cabinets it's really to take
advantage of all the ceiling height to
get as much storage as I possibly can
I've also made sure to do a variety of
doors and drawers to really add a lot of
functionality and variety that is
perfect for a small kitchen so for the
lowers what we're doing is we're doing a
custom kitchen from a kitchen company
called aamus they make these cabinets
and they started out in creating Custom
Kitchens for Yachts so this is going to
be a beautiful brushed stainless it is
restaurant grade and aamus designed them
so that the burners of the range are
just set into the countertop the whole
thing is this monolithic piece of Steel
it's incredibly architectural it's
incredibly simple but at the same time
has this really bizarre fun warmth to it
it has these brass poles that I think
really warm it up and add that kind of
feeling of jewelry because we moved
around our kitchen appliances we have
created way more counter space this is
really great because you can now use
this space for prep but you can also
entertain more easily and you can have a
bunch of dishes or aures kind of on this
counter I think that the client for this
kitchen they might be City people who
moved out to the country and this is
their pieter so I thought to myself why
take up so much space and energy using a
full-size fridge when there are really
excellent drawer fridge products out
there one of the focal points for my
kitchen will be a beautiful Suite of
Barone appliances and for this kitchen
I'm using a white range which you know
is a little bit unusual but I think it's
perfect for this light and Airy space it
also has all of these wonderful brass
accents to it brass is something that I
want to bounce around the room so it's a
really like a piece of jewelry within
the space a functional piece of jewelry
but of course function we need to have
safety and so I've Incorporated a
complimentary vent hood that is a
perfect match I'm a big collector of
tabletop I love glasswear I love vases
and urns so I think the best part of a
kitchen is definitely having some open
shelving and this adds personality to
your home I think that not only is it
beautiful to display your objects but
it's so handy it's like grab and go you
don't have to open up a door to get to
what you need I am moving the sink
towards the opening of the kitchen I'm
sliding it down that wall right there
and I'm doing it purely to make room for
the curve so by putting the sink there
that's given us some more architecture
to be able to create that curved
countertop in the back I really wanted
to create kind of this eeden kitchen and
I love a breakfast du the Banette is
upholster and I'm going to do this
Clarence House fabric I really like this
fabric because it's neutral but it has a
really fun kind of wavy print to it the
table I'm going to use in this space is
vintage it's from the' 70s and it's also
made of travertine and it has a steel
element to it on the tabletop so it
kitchen you don't expect to see a
fabulous chandelier in a kitchen but I
think you should so here I want to to
lean into that nature Vibe and I'm
pulling a fixture from uh Rosie Lee my
favorite lighting designer I'm using her
Laurel Blossom fixture which is like
this but in more of a brass finish the
chandelier is Matthew Lenor and it is
from Carpenter workshop and I really was
attracted to this because it's like
these tubes of light it's super modern
it's fun and almost like these tubes of
light work really well well with the
Clarence House fabric makes almost like
this similar pattern in a way the light
over the sink is a vintage light from an
Italian designer named Vico mastr it is
a soft frosted glass Dome with a globe
inside of it and that's just going to
give a really soft diffuse light
throughout the entire space I love to
incorporate all different types of
lighting into a space so we have our
overhead light with our chandelier but
then we also have our counter lighting
with our LED strips and that's going to
like really give us this beautiful glow
in the space the last bit of lighting
was the Chrome picture light again like
very modern very simple instead of going
with a typical linear under cabinet
light what I've decided to do is pepper
the backsplash with Marine step lights
what you're seeing here is really cool
it's a little step light that normally
would would be mounted maybe 2 ft above
the floor maybe a foot along a pathway
or up and down steps to help light your
path these ones specifically are
boat the piece of artwork that I chose
is an iconic black and white image of
Bianca Jagger coming into Studio 54 on a
white horse I wanted something that was
kind of like iconic New York that went
with the view and went with our steel
and our metal and our traveler teen and
also this like wavy kind of groovy
fabric I like to hang art in my kitchens
this is a painting of the ocean and it
sort of feels like a little window
looking out to the sea I like that it's
a sort of tongue and cheek nod at our
fantasy ship that we've created here my
favorite element of this room is my
little herb garden which is these Wall
Planters that I found that have this
kind of like futuristic Space Age feel
to them they're made of fiberglass and
they go directly onto the wall and in
them is basil and rosemary and parsley
bringing nature into the space I have
styled the countertop with an elmond
belf freed tea set they have a very bow
housian quality to them they're super
geometric and they feel very simplified
but also a little bit out of this world [Music]
[Music]
I really love my kitchen it feels
personal and that's what I always try to
do in my designs to think of someone who
is not afraid to express themselves in
their home I think a lot of people kind
of like steer away from stainless steel
kitchens cuz they maybe feel like it's
too industrial but I think this is a
great example of how Chic and cool they
could look this is somebody who may not
be cooking elaborate meals but when they
have cereal or they get their Chinese
takeout they're doing it with [Music]
style oo wow
wow
wow that like SE is
amazing you and I went for that
stainless steel
too I love it okay I've got to know what
was the inspir ation for for the seating
this is a Clarence House fabric I wanted
like this really clean metal kitchen
with the
travertine so I was kind of just trying
to think about what fabric would Funk it
up a little bit but stay in this like
kind of neutral base I love a wave so it
kind of like brought everything to that
like disco fun like 7s yeah it's such a
great balance with like the Stark
architecture the that you kep everything
so CLE and linear and then the fabric
just like flies in the face of that but
in this way that just like perfectly
dials in my favorite detail is my little
herb garden there this is for a cook so
if you need some fresh Basilico you can
just you know chop it off your wall
over this is such a Vibe it's a whole
vibe my thought was if I have to go
Galley kitchen I'm going like real
Galley kitchen so I started looking at
the Kitchens on yacht on airplanes in
trailers and so there's a bit of
inspiration coming from like vintage
airstreams and that kind of feel that's
where you're seeing some of these Port
holes and the stainless steel and then I
was also trying to hearken in a little
bit of like a Milano 60s Milan Vibes and
I love the blue tile jxap POS with that
kind of like rose blush colored lacquer
Cabinetry you know I was kind of
thinking like this is a typical small a
little cramped and dark New York City
Kitchen and so I wanted to really bring
in something light and Airy then I
brought in a little bit more of a
literal with the rosy Lee chandelier
which I'm like obessed stain glass on
the window yeah oh you know I just
realized I'm kind of matching my oh you
are I always say always match your interior
