By nature, kitchens are hardworking spaces built for cooking, gathering, eating, and everything in between. While their utilitarian role used to dictate their design, kitchens today are no longer made solely for functionality – rather, they're design-driven rooms that can stylistically set the tone for an entire home.

We've just seen this first-hand in the newly remodeled eclectic kitchen from interior designer Nicole Fisher's New Rochelle bungalow project. Moody, jewel-toned florals dress the walls of the room, while light wood cabinets and an oxidized copper range fill the kitchen with warmth and character. A curated mix of decor categorizes this kitchen as one that feels collected and considered rather than conventionally luxurious. And while the room's functionality never wavers, its richly layered design creates a vibrant, visually stimulating atmosphere that extends to other rooms – giving the entire home a strong and stylish sense of cohesion.
