In this Southampton kitchen, interior designer Christina Magrans sought Bakes & Kropp’s cabinetry expertise to refresh her previously beige space with a streamlined, sophisticated facelift. She worked closely with Senior Designer Guillaume Dupre to create a bespoke kitchen inspired by her background as a retail designer for heritage brands like Tiffany & Co. –  a long personal favorite.

The revamped space, with its walnut finishes and bronzy accents, radiates warmth from every corner. The new kitchen is designed as a natural extension of the adjacent living space with a new Bakes & Kropp’s signature L-shaped wood top island affording extra room for family and friends to gather. Throughout, custom inset Madison cabinetry in a satin walnut finish that mirrors the elegance of fine furnishings adorned with mixed metal accents and hardware. The removal of upper cabinetry helps open the space to the greater entertaining area while limiting visual clutter overhead. To compensate for the loss of overhead storage, custom Bakes & Kropp storage provisions maximize existing cabinetry space.  A full-length cabinet near the fridge acts as a catch-all for essentials while dedicated storage for spices and a separate beverage fridge provide easy access for guests and family.
