Belmont Heights Kitchen

This kitchen in Belmont Heights pairs gray shaker cabinets and white counters with a floor of ARTO's handcrafted Studio ceramic tile in the San Felipe shape. Each tile's scalloped edges lock into the next, and slim gray grout lines trace the curving outline across the room, from the range and sink run to the arched doorway that leads toward the dining area. The Walnut Spice glaze shows gentle shifts in tone from tile to tile, the kind of variation that comes from glazing by hand. Set against a patterned backsplash behind the range, the floor stays calm and warm, giving the kitchen a relaxed, old-world feel that suits the home's arched openings and wood floors beyond.
