Out-of-the-Box Kitchens

From a giant, vinyl photo backsplash to LED bar lighting, see how top designers use eye-catching materials and creative amenities to think outside the box with these one-of-a-kind kitchen designs.

Color Invasion

When designer Dan Danenberg of Danenberg Design was originally handed the redesign for this kitchen, he was told the client wanted something very modest. What he found out, however, is that her love of bright colors (particularly orange) could not be tamed. This modern kitchen incorporates a vibrant array of colors, including a bright orange oven that fits in perfectly with Dan's choice of cabinetry. The most unusual part of the kitchen is the blue asymmetrical arch that was conceived as an illusion because the two halves do not actually meet at the top. Photography by Rio Costantini
