The ebony cabinetry, stainless steel trimmings and turquoise colour scheme are just some of the many statement-making finishes that make this Miami Kitchen look so beautiful.
Miami Beach condo owned by a Toronto couple, Fort Lauderdale interior designer Richard Nemec of Environ Interior Design Associates had already transformed most of the living space into stylish contemporary rooms. However, the basic white laminate kitchen was badly in need of updating. “It was time to bring the kitchen up to the same standard as the rest of the condo,” says Richard. “And, since this is the owners’ escape from the cold weather back home, we wanted it to exude warmth while at the same time be slick and sophisticated.”
For the kitchen cabinetry, he selected dramatic high-gloss Macassar ebony with the grain running horizontally. Several frosted glass-front upper cabinets – lit from within to cast a glow at night – provide a break from the heavily grained wood. The ocean views outside the windows served as inspiration for the back-painted glass backsplash in the same cool turquoise hue, which runs throughout the room. Nearly every finish gleams with a lacquer-like shine that gives the space a refined glam look.
State-of-the-art appliances, such as a Sub-Zero wine column, a built-in Miele coffee system and freezer drawers, ensure the kitchen functions as beautifully as it looks. It’s a wonder the owners are ever willing to leave.

The waterfall edge over the island, which has a pair of freezer drawers on one side, also helps to balance out the distinct grain of the cabinetry. Interior designer Richard Nemec created a black lacquer “bridge” around the ceiling perimeter to visually pull the entire kitchen together. The splashy glass backsplash offers dimension and shine, without the visual clutter of a mirrored finish.
