Dive into This Spacious Midnight Blue Kitchen

2023 Best of Year Winner for Kitchen and Bath

Floor-to-ceiling windows bring abundant light and views of mature oak trees into a 6,900-square-foot modernist abode in Dallas, Texas, by Smitharc Architecture + Interiors and Erin Sander Design. Those vistas are perhaps best enjoyed from the courtyard-adjacent kitchen, which has an undersea vibe courtesy of its midnight-blue plaster ceiling, and the main bathroom, featuring custom mirrors that levitate above a floating vanity. Rich Carrara marble and sultry brass predominate in both spaces, but for real luxury, the bath-adjacent “glam room” is designed for salon-style primping and pampering, with blush quartz counters, scalloped marble mosaic flooring, hand-applied laser-cut brass walls, and pastel-pink furnishings—a destination to rest and relax in while getting ready.
