Smart Moves

1. DRAMATIC BACKSPLASH

Book-matched soapstone adds textural contrast to the sleek Italian cabinetry.

2. CUSTOM LINERS

Clever drawer inserts keep knives sharp and at-the-ready.

3. SMART FIXTURE

With its flexibility and height, the ergonomically designed Dornbract faucet makes it easy to fill tall pots and clean up after a big dinner.

4. SPACE SAVER

Thanks to Arclinea’s many cabinetry options, a narrow slot was transformed into a full-depth pullout pantry.

5. EXTRA PREP AREA

Guests can brew a cup of coffee or mix a drink in the area adjacent to the kitchen—without bothering the cook.
