1. Terracotta Traveler With Open Shelves

Photorealistic wide room shot of a boho kitchen in warm terracotta with muted clay base cabinets, matte black hardware, and floating natural wood shelves styled with mismatched ceramics, woven baskets, copper utensils in a vintage crock, and terra-cotta planters; handmade zellige tile backsplash with rippled texture, honed limestone or creamy quartz counters with soft veining, a flat-woven kilim runner in desert hues along a galley layout, oversized rattan pendant over the island, and a potted olive tree by a sunlit window; shot straight-on to capture the full wall and island, soft morning natural light.

This kitchen feels like sunshine and spice markets. Think warm terracotta walls paired with matte black hardware and floating natural wood shelves stacked with mismatched ceramics and woven baskets.

2. Global Green & Brass Bungalow

Jewel toned and lush, this kitchen leans bold without losing warmth. Paint cabinetry a deep emerald green and pair with antique brass pulls that will patina over time.
