Alisha Taylor Interiors


Eye-catching drama partnered with multi-generational family-friendly function defines this new build kitchen located in the up-and-coming luxury community of Somerset in Gilbert, Arizona. The barrel-arched beamed ceiling takes center stage pulling your eye up to appreciate the volume and drama then points to the various details and materials below.

A herringbone wood floor pattern anchors the design and adds an unexpected texture. Incorporating multiple materials and finishes was key for the layered design; rich walnut island, warm-hued painted cabinets, contrasting metal cabinetry, mother nature’s quartzite, rich deep charcoal quartz, and a painted brick wall. Pulling the different layers together, oversized pendant lights from Circa Lighting add that artistic yet simple flair to the space. The kitchen highlights gorgeous barstools from Palecek that present a luxury layered look all their own.

Stepping further into the kitchen you realize there’s a steel and glass door that interrupts the soft light cabinetry leading you to the ‘Grandkid Baking Kitchen’. This secondary space features deep slate blue painted cabinetry for a pop of color, open shelves stocked with cookie cutters and sprinkles, and its own island that houses stools for grandchildren to decorate cookies with grandma. A functional, mindful, and dramatic kitchen!
