Visual Rhythm Creates Visual Interest

Large cooking area featuring stainless steel natural gas range, hood and oven set. Bold contrast is created between the slate floor, dark granite counter tops, stainless and black appliances and light maple cabinets. Such contrast creates visual rhythm, a sense of anchoring areas of interest and features the vertical space of the room rather than exagerates it. Many new homes are realizing the importance of the kitchen as a gathering place for family and friends and will continue to dominate home layouts in the near future as shown by new development trends.
