Inspiration #29
This week’s inspiration goes back to the kitchen in search of a different detail – the waterfall counter edge. It’s all the rage right now, so I thought I’d look and see if I could find details that might work with the peninsula in #ThisOldHouse’s impending kitchen renovation.
This is the latest in a weekly post of residential architecture inspiration. If you want to see past weeks, you can go here. If you want to see them curated on my pinterest (sometimes before they even hit the blog), go here.
Another gem from Arkee Creative, this waterfall counter edge is clean and unobtrusive. I’m not entirely certain what the tile at the wall is doing, but I won’t focus on that. The trim detail where the edge meets the floor is minimal and allows the material to seem like it’s knifing into the floor.
This waterfall counter edge has me drooling like none other. If you remember, I showcased this kitchen previously because of its awesome backsplash. As you can see, Nicole pulled out all the stops on this gem. I love the color contrast of the counter to cabinet.
This small-scale waterfall counter edge shows how to implement style in even the smallest of spaces. I love that they made the sitting counter the width of the solid wall. It makes me want to fold it up and hide it away somehow, keeping the space light and airy.
Open space for days and a waterfall counter edge on both sides of the island is just how Studio McGee rolls. I love pretty much everything about this kitchen, the island counter being just one. Although the top of the hood enclosure and the top of the high cabinet not lining up makes my eye twitch a little.
Not quite a waterfall counter edge detail, but this shows an interesting take on higher bar height seating at an island with separation from the work surface. It also appears to allow the depth to be reduced – definitely an idea to stow away.
Going inverse on the previous waterfall counter edge designs, this looks to be a concrete countertop (with a glass cover) and white cabinets. It definitely brightens up the space, but I almost wish they’d foregone the glass cover.
