Interior designer Shea McGee used a breathtaking deep, moody hue (Deep River by Benjamin Moore) for the cabinetry. Reminiscent of a vast jungle river, this saturated hue blends green, gray, and black.

Additional design features include color-matching the statement-making Lacanche range and creating a high-impact look that is both cohesive and dramatic. Natural materials play a crucial role in this rustic kitchen, such as a plaster range hood with a dark-stained decorative band, soapstone countertops, stone walls, and open wood shelving.

When assembling this room, Interior designer Heidi Callier had the look of traditional British kitchens in mind.
