A bespoke kitchen lends itself to an impossibly small space. Designed by color/pattern enthusiast Beata Heuman for a Victorian mews apartment in London, this kitchen is a standout feature thanks to custom cabinetry and creative details like a half-moon marble extension of the backsplash. Hand-cut geometry, color, and texture all converge to create the unique look. Here, we profile some of the kitchen’s key elements with sources to match.
