Colorful Kitchens with Charisma(13)

Red-and-Chocolate Kitchen
This kitchen, clearly intended for passionate cooks, boasts an 8-foot-long lipstick-red cooking podium by Molteni that encourages social cooking with its integrated appliances and curvaceous shape. Walnut cabinets are stained a deep chocolate brown punctuated with 2-inch crystal knobs for sparkle. On the floor, an elaborate mosaic-tile design frames the island, using oval shapes that mimic the shape of the podium.
