Whether you’re engaged in a major overhaul or a minor tune-up, Metropolitan Home has sought out the best new products to help you update two of the most important rooms in your house. For the kitchen, we’ve found four sleek new cabinet systems, including one from Design Within Reach, ready to give your room a modern makeover. Fixtures get a face-lift when classic silhouettes get bold black and white finishes, while metallic filigree details like Lily, shown on Kaldewei’s bathtub, make a glamorous splash. It’s easy being green when recycled materials look as good as the new tile and flooring options we discovered, and appliances are moving into the future with major improvements on the tried-and-true classics.
American manufacturer Kohler puts a contemporary spin on its Simplice kitchen faucet with a dramatic matte black finish that can transform a room. The pull-down spout is equipped with a compact three-way spray head. Its high arch makes it ideal for filling and cleaning large pots ($389; Kohler.com).
Appliance Upgrades
Ikea now offers appliances to complete its kitchen
cabinets. And with Whirlpool producing them, you can
be sure the quality is high (4-burner gas cooktop, slide-in range,
$1,000; Ikea.com).
Eco Mania
Dalsouple’s DalNaturel ultra-durable flooring line
gets top marks. The company cut its emissions by using 95 percent
natural, instead of synthetic, rubber (from $9/sq. ft.; Kasthall.com).
High Style
Armani/Casa teamed up with Dada, part of the Molteni Group, to
create a refined modern kitchen. The result is a perfect
combination of function and good looks. It’s shown here in sukupira
wood. Doors are available in either bronze laminate or
mirror (price available on request; ArmaniCasa.com).
