If you’re considering your own kitchen revamp, allow us to make the case for integrated sinks. They’re totally customizable, easy to clean (one material makes for quite the low-maintenance upkeep), and instantly command attention.
Speaking of personalization, that’s the best part. Marble seems to be the favored style, but who said classic has to be boring? Try something cool and punchy, like a bright blue variety.

And anyone hoping to add a ’70s flare to their space should consider terrazzo. Detroit’s Siren Hotel makes the case for going retro, and we love Huguet’s range of color-flecked products.
