Check out this handsome open concept kitchen design in a modern split-foyer home from BuiltQC. This home is located on the Iowa side of the Quad Cities and is packed with amazing style and a great layout. Village Home Stores sourced the cabinetry and hardware for this new home, and we are excited to show you around this kitchen.

The kitchen includes one main wall of cabinetry and a large island centered in front of it. The great room on the top level of the split-foyer is flooded with amazing natural light during the daytime.

White Oak and Black Combination Finish Kitchen
This kitchen is installed using our Koch Classic Cabinetry line in the flat-panel shaker style Savannah door and a combination of White oak Wheat and Black painted finishes. We love the warmth that this wood tone brings to the kitchen. The combination of finishes can lean Midcentury Modern, Minimalist, or even Modern depending on how it is styled.

The hardware for the kitchen is also a combination of contrasting finishes. Jeffrey Alexander Gibson series handles are installed in a combination of Matte Black and Satin Bronze finishes. You can see in the image below that the Satin Bronze is on the black cabinetry, and Matte Black is installed on the White Oak Cabinets.

Balancing Accent Finishes
The Black cabinet accents are so well balanced in this design. Not only are they spaced out in a rhythm that is visually balanced, but the height on each end is symmetrical as well.

The tall Black accent cabinets bookend the main wall and there is an accent cabinet above the cooktop at the center of the wall. On the right end is a refrigerator surround design that includes a deep cabinet above the fridge and a tall end panel on the left side.

The left end is visually anchored with a tall built in wall oven cabinet fit with a microwave unit installed at eye level. We love how this builder paid extra attention to the cabinet moldings with the accent colors. The toekick and crown molding each transition to the contrasting finishes when the cabinets do. The finished look is precise, focused, and high-end.
