Austin Interior Design by Room Fu Knockout Interiors

Knotty Pine A-Go-Go
The knotty pine cabinetry in this Northwest Austin kitchen actually steals all the thunder from the beautiful countertops and backsplash in the room. Let's face it--there are few among us who could stand to face 60 knotty pine doors and drawers on a daily basis!

Austin kitchen before interior redesign

Room Fu's interior makeover implements a current trend in kitchen design: using a darker color to ground base cabinets and a lighter finish on upper cabinets, to maintain a light and open feeling at eye level. This is a particularly beneficial approach in a large kitchen like this one, because it breaks up what would otherwise be a monotonous mass of a single color in the room.

Kitchen Redesign = updated cabinets

Minimizing the grain and knots in wood cabinets brings the focus back to high-end details like the endless stretches of beautiful granite countertops and the tumbled travertine backsplash.

Austin Kitchen Makeover - enhances existing surfaces

A long, open wall is filled with a grid of framed artwork created by the couple's 3-year old son. This treatment not only elevates the perception of child art, it integrates a meaningful sense of family into the space and it's easy to update as their prolific artist matures.
