The open floor plan, where the kitchen and the main living area become one large space, continues to fill the need for the way the average family lives today. Gone are the closed-off kitchens and the formal living rooms used only on holidays or for entertaining special guests.

When you are planning the kitchen in your open space, consider what other architectural elements will be visible in addition to the cabinetry. Often times in a great room living space there is a fireplace, and typically there is a mantel of some type. The idea of having the kitchen cabinetry coordinating with the other architectural elements, such as a fireplace mantel, can bring a cohesive look to a large space.

Traditional Cherry hardwoods look rich and elegant framing a fireplace, especially when the styling and finish complement the cabinetry in the rest of the home. For this fireplace mantel, “Transitional” styling was selected for the refined cove moldings used to create the mantel shelf. Decorative panels selected for the columns blend perfectly with the cabinetry door style in the kitchen.

Stand-alone mantel shelves are great for creating a fireplace framed by stone or quartz, for smaller applications, and minimalistic designs.
