Design Seen: Now and Zen

September 1, 2007

Ditch the monotone, the beige, the lifeless decor in your kitchen and splash some color on all your favorite appliances—think yellow, blue and yes, even avocado, which has returned, dare we say, better than before? We also discovered tile inspired by Japanese silk kimonos, Swarovski for the faucet, and even an Hermès leather–wrapped tub to help boost your bathroom’s luxury quota. We found beer dispensers that are sure to satisfy—and indeed, the range hood on page 50 does have a built-in 17-inch flatscreen.
