Unearthed: Marie Flanigan's recent kitchen renovation swaps waterfall countertops for a different, yet classically elegant design
In the world of kitchen design, a fresh trend is making waves - paneled art. This innovative approach, first seen by designer Marie Flanigan in her recent project, is a beautiful blend of classic paneling and the natural beauty of stone.
Marie Flanigan believes that paneled art creates a sense of scale and sophistication, and when chosen carefully, it can read as architectural - almost sculptural. The artist, whose name is not disclosed, introduced the trend of veined marble kitchen tops in her new project, suggesting that veined marble slabs could replace the waterfall design as the top trend due to their unique visual appeal and elegant continuity.
The island, often the focal feature of a kitchen, is a prime example of this trend. In Marie's new project, the paneled art island expands the drama, creating a cohesive, architectural statement. The art kitchen idea incorporates outlets that blend seamlessly into the art, creating a more seamless look.
To ensure precision in templating, cutting, and installation, Marie advises seeking out seasoned fabricators who have executed this type of installation before. Carefully selected large slabs of art are cut and book-matched for paneled art installation, ensuring joints virtually disappear.
When choosing colours to pair with paneled art, it's important to ensure everything feels sophisticated and cohesive. Marie recommends pairing paneled art with clean-lined cabinetry along the perimeter, warm metals, or natural wood tones to soften the stone's coolness and bring balance to the space.
To add elegance throughout the kitchen, Marie introduces a sconce to the side of the cabinet. A similar design sconce featuring a white shade and brass finish can be used to recreate the look. A wooden serving bowl with a similar design can also be used to pair with art, as a stylish touch, and elevate kitchenware.
For a pop on the kitchen island when hosting guests, a cheeseboard with a charming scalloped edge can be used to accessorize with art kitchenware. This trend is considered elegant and timeless, and is a feature that will stand the test of time. So, if you're looking to add a touch of sophistication to your kitchen, consider the paneled art trend.
