KITCHEN: The Heart of the Home
Angela Reynolds Designs When designer Angela Reynolds’ clients asked for their holiday home to feel like a sophisticated boutique resort, she responded with an idyllic retreat where they can host family and friends among a mix of minimalist lines, rich textures and subtle, luxurious materials. She teamed up with Waterview Kitchens and Hobgood Construction to bring the Japandi/wabi-sabi-inspired kitchen to life. Wabi-sabi design celebrates the beauty of natural imperfections, so Reynolds chose oversized, woven palm tree fiber light fixtures to introduce organic calmness. While Japandi style is known for its simplicity and harmony, Reynolds also added bold drama by pairing the deep contrasting colors of dark walnut stain and white highgloss lacquer. To foster the resort aesthetic, Reynolds outfitted the standout Cristallo quartzite island—nearly 20 feet long—with two faucets to allow for multitasking, a setup especially helpful when hosting. It also gives the space a professional, high-end look.
