This Bold Kitchen Color Combo Shouldn’t Work—But It Totally Does!

Bold colors in kitchens have been on the rise recently. And we're not talking about bright, vibrant hues, but rather slightly moodier, earthy tones that feel warm and timeless.

Discover a Historic Viennese Kitchen with a Bold Twist

Designer Laura Karasinski transformed an empty Viennese space into a vibrant kitchen.

Paprika-hued limewash walls shift with light, adding warmth and depth. ​

Natural oak cabinetry by deVOL complements the rich wall color beautifully.

'Everything was built from the ground up, so every decision was intentional. We designed the kitchen layout to invite both function and feeling, weaving in natural materials to ground the space,' Laura explains.

One of the biggest challenges in this kitchen design was sourcing the right materials – they needed to suit the client's style while also honoring the history of the property. But with careful material and color selections, it's a challenge that the team conquered.

'Sourcing the right materials felt more like a treasure hunt than a task. We’d had the Zellige tiles – now sitting behind the sink – in our minds for years, just waiting for the perfect project. This one felt right. As always, the art lies in letting these elements speak without dominating and allowing each to find its place without forcing it,' she adds.

Unlacquered brass fittings and Zellige backsplash tiles introduce timeless elegance.
