Perfect Pairings

Try these three combinations to give your kitchen a custom look:

1. Bookend an open space with two large pieces of furniture, such as the heirloom hutch opposite Bethany’s sink and the built-in cabinet in the dining area.

2. Fill an awkward space with a small furnishing, as Bethany did when she cozied a petite butcher block alongside the shorter leg of her center island.

3. Add decorative items to the tops of cabinets and wall cupboards to create displays that stretch to the ceiling.
