A Two-Tone Kitchen for a New Build in Richlands, NC

Built into a new home in Richlands, NC, this kitchen pairs a soft, neutral perimeter with a bold navy island for a look that feels both classic and current. Cabinetry from Waypoint Cabinetry anchors the space in Linen and Navy finishes, with black hardware carrying the contrast through every drawer and door.

Quartz countertops keep the perimeter clean and bright, while the island wears a custom butcher block top — a warm, tactile counterpoint to all that crisp cabinetry. A brick-pattern tile backsplash runs the full height behind the range, framing a custom hood and adding texture without competing for attention. Thoughtful storage throughout, from a dedicated spice pullout to a farmhouse sink at the island, rounds out a kitchen designed from the ground up for daily life.
